ABSTRACT:
A magnetoresistive (MR) sensor is center tapped to provide the difference signals for servo operation on data and sum signals for the data information. The center-tap of the MR sensor is made of a high resistivity material compared to the resistivity of the MR element itself such as tantalum, Nichrome and carbon. Processes which can be used to produce the high resistivity center-tap conductor include an insulator layer to define both the track width and the center-tap conductor and a sequence which first patterns the MR sensor and then masks to define the conductor regions.
