Abstract

Field calculation with a finite-element method was performed for optimization of the shielded planar head composed of a tapered pole in both down and cross track directions and a wrap-around shield. Especially, effect of the taper angle of the main pole and the gap length and the height of the shield on head field was investigated to obtain a strong head field with a sharp distribution. In order to explore potential of the planar head, comparison with a conventional head with a normal main pole with a short throat was made and feasibility of 1 Tbit/in 2 recording with patterned media was discussed in terms of magnetization reversals of aimed track and thermal stability of magnetization on adjacent tracks.
