Abstract |
This work presents the tolerance of CPP-TMR and CPP-GMR heads to ESD events
when the sizes of both reader technologies are shrinking. The shrinking size effect actually indicates the growth of AD targeting to Tb/in2. Blocking temperature, melting temperature,and electric field breakdown of the oxide layer are the key parameters for investigation upon the temperature increment of CPP-TMR and CPP-GMR heads caused by an ESD current. The investigation was carried out by using a finite element analysis, solver and
simulation software. The results reveal that at 30% shrinking size, CPP-TMR is 15% less tolerance to ESD phenomena than that of CPP-GMR technology for the case of hard failure aspect. On the other hand, CPP-GMR is approximately 10% more sensitive to ESD events than CPP-TMR technology for the case of soft failure aspect. |
