Spin Wave Assisted MAMR Recording Head

ActiveUS20250322844A1Record information storageHeads for perpendicular magnetisationsSpin torque oscillatorsAc field
Aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to a magnetic recording device comprising a magnetic recording head. The magnetic recording head comprises a main pole, the main pole comprising a contact recessed from a media facing surface (MFS) and a contact terminal coupled to the contact, a trailing shield disposed adjacent to the main pole, a spin torque oscillator (STO) device disposed between the main pole and the trailing shield, a leading shield disposed adjacent to the main pole, the contact being disposed over the leading shield, a first alternating current (AC) source coupled to the main pole and the contact terminal, and a second AC source coupled to the trailing shield and the main pole. The first AC source is configured to generate an AC field, and the AC field is configured to generate spin waves near the contact to transfer energy to the STO device.

Dual-spin torque oscillator designs in microwave assisted magnetic recording

ActiveUS12451156B2Manufacture head surfaceRecord information storageSpin torque oscillatorsSpin-transfer torque
The present embodiments relate to write heads implementing microwave-assisted magnetic recording utilizing multiple spin torque oscillators (STOs). Each STO can include a field-generation layer (FGL) that can oscillate in a same frequency and out of phase with one another. The layers in each STO can enable mutual spin transfer torques between adjacent layers, which can drive the FGLs into a large angle oscillation. The oscillation between the FGLs can cause a magnetic field to be generated that can assist in writing to a magnetic recording medium.

Method for forming a perpendicular spin torque oscillator (PSTO) including forming a magneto resistive sensor (MR) over a spin torque oscillator (STO)

ActiveUS12414476B2Nanostructure applicationMagnetic measurementsResistive sensorsMagneto
A method of forming a MTJ with a tunnel barrier having a high tunneling magnetoresistance ratio, and low resistance x area value is disclosed. The method preserves perpendicular magnetic anisotropy in bottom and top magnetic layers that adjoin bottom and top surfaces of the tunnel barrier. A key feature is a passive oxidation step of a first Mg layer that is deposited on the bottom magnetic layer wherein a maximum oxygen pressure is 10-5 torr. A bottom portion of the first Mg layer remains unoxidized thereby protecting the bottom magnetic layer from substantial oxidation during subsequent oxidation and anneal processes that are employed to complete the fabrication of the tunnel barrier and MTJ. An uppermost Mg layer may be formed as the top layer in the tunnel barrier stack before a top magnetic layer is deposited.
