AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing MAMR write heads suffer from high bit-flipping rates and diminished AC field assistance due to oscillations in the free layer, which are not effectively addressed by current technologies.

Method used

Incorporating a high damping trailing shield seed layer doped with a rare earth element, such as CoFeHo, between the spin torque oscillator and the trailing shield, reduces the amplitude of additional AC fields and minimizes bit flipping by lowering the magnetic moment and increasing damping in the TS hot seed layer.

Benefits of technology

The high damping trailing shield seed layer effectively reduces bit flipping and maintains AC field assistance, enabling higher recording density and stability in magnetic recording media.
