Abstract

1 Gbit/sec magnetic recording was demonstrated with integrated inductive write/GMR read heads on a thin film disk with a coercivity of 3200 Oe and an Mrt of 0.34 memu/cm/sup 2/ with a spinstand tester. The write heads were made with high moment materials on both P1 and P2 and a densely packed coil using conventional manufacturing processes, and the read heads were made of dual synthetic spin valve sensor used for the 36 Gbit/in/sup 2/ areal density demonstration. The interconnect between the head and pre-amplifier is a pair of twisted wires of about 2 inch length. The demonstration was done at the outer diameter of the disk rotating at 15000 RPM. With a modest 35 mA (0-P) write current, we achieved an overwrite of about 30 dB and an on track error rate of better than 10/sup -7/. BER test on a disk with a coercivity of 4000 Oe also showed very good results.
