    Abstract: During formation of a smooth (roughness 250 A) electroinsulating layer on a polycrystalline, monocrystalline or amorphous substrate (roughness is not >500 angstroms) by high-frequency cathodic sputtering, a part of the deposited material (re-emission coefft.) is removed by the ion bombardment with the loss of a part of the electric energy. The process is improved by forming a first layer of the insulating material at an energy loss coefft. of =1:12 or less (pref, between 1:12-35) and a re-emission coefft. of =0.35 (pref. 0.35-0.15); and then a second layer of the insulating material at an energy loss coefft. of >=1:5 (pref. 1:5-1.5), and a re-emission coefft. of >=0.6 (pref. 0.6-0.8). Different surfaces can be smoothly coated. This is of special importance whom a very thin magnetic layer is to be applied onto the insulating layer, as the properties of such magnetic layers greatly depend on the smoothness of the substrate (e.g. in magnetic heads).

    Abstract: An interleaved bi-directional magnetic tape head for contact recording has a stripe poletip 30 in the form of a thin film of a soft magnetic material deposited onto a magnetic ferrite substrate 22. A second thin film polepiece 40 is deposited over a gap region 26. A closure block 24 of a non-magnetic ceramic encloses the layers together with leveling insulation layers 32, 34 and deposited activating conductor turns 36. The stripe poletip extends for a distance just short of the first conductor turn and provides a balancing of the saturation moment of the pole pieces and provides for better recording capability, especially when operating in a trailing magnetic ferrite mode.

    Abstract: A method of bonding two crystals together is disclosed. A bond enhancing material such as chromium (Cr) is vapor deposited on one crystal, and on this is vapor deposited a noble metal such as gold (Au). On the other crystal a low melting point metal such as tin (Sn) or indium (In) is vapor deposited. In the case of In this can either be directly on the crystal or on a layer of bond enhancing material; in the case of Sn this must be on a bond enhancing material. On top of the low melting point metal a layer of the same noble metal is deposited to prevent oxidation thereof. The noble metal layers are brought into contact with each other in vacuum or inert atmosphere and pressure applied thereto at a temperature of 100 DEG C to 150 DEG C in the case of In and 100 DEG C to 200 DEG C in the case of Sn. The low melting point metal will diffuse into the noble metals and across the interface causing a bond to form by elimination of the boundary between the crystals.

    Abstract: RF BIAS SPUTTERING METHOD FOR PRODUCING INSULATING FILMS FREE OF SURFACE IRREGULARITIES Using this method an insulating film substantially free from surface irregularities is RF bias sputtered onto a smooth polycrystalline or micro-roughened surface. This is accomplished by controlled resputtering at a first low ratio and then, after a substantially continuous layer of insulative amorphous film is deposited over the substrate, increasing the resputtering to a second higher ratio.

    Abstract: An interleaved bi-directional magnetic tape head for contact recording can have a poletip enhanced by providing a thin film of a soft magnetic material deposited onto a magnetic ferrite substrate. The second pole piece is a thin film of the soft magnetic material. A closure block of a non-magnetic ceramic encloses the layers together with leveling insulation layers and a deposited activating conductor turns. The stripe poletip deposited onto the magnetic ferrite extends for a distance just short of the first conductor turn and provides a balancing of the saturation moment of the pole pieces and provides for better recording capability, especially when operating in a trailing magnetic ferrite mode.

    Abstract: An interleaved head is disclosed for reading and writing data transitions onto a magnetic tape. A magnetic recording system is disclosed for the bi-directional transportation of the tape media across the interleaved head. A controller controls the tape drive in a reel-to-reel format to accomplish the bi-directional motion of the tape media. The interleaved head includes two modules with each module having a plurality of alternating read and write transducers alternately spaced apart along a single line placed transverse to the movement of the magnetic tape. The two modules are placed together such that the write gaps of one module are aligned with the read gaps of the other module. Each read module includes the magneto-resistive element. Each write transducer includes a thin film conductor driving a nickel zinc ferrite substrate as one pole piece and a nickel zinc closure piece as the second pole piece. In order to provide leveling across the write transducers of the module, write back gap islands are provided in the back gap regions of the write transducer made of the same material with the same thickness as the magneto resistive element and the conductors interconnecting the magneto resistive element to the read/write network of the tape drive.
