ABSTRACT:
A method of fabrication of a magnetic head including a read head sensor includes providing a read sensor stack having a front edge, a rear edge, a right side edge and a left side edge, and at least one pinning layer. The left side edge, right side edge, front edge and rear edge of the sensor stack are milled. The read sensor stack is annealed in a magnetic field to set the final orientation of the pinning layer, and the read sensor stack is encapsulated in overcoat material having a front surface. A projected final ABS boundary is established which lies within the overcoat material. A trim range is established relative to the projected final ABS boundary. The front surface of the overcoat material is lapped until the overcoat front surface is within the trim range. Residual overcoat material is then removed by ion beam etching.
