    Abstract: A method of forming a DSMR head comprises the steps of forming a first ferromagnetic (FM) strip on a substrate with a first anti-FM (AFM) pinning layer over a portion of the first ferromagnetic strip, the first AFM pinning layer being composed of a first material. Then perform a first high temperature annealing step. Form a non-magnetic layer over the strip and the pinning layer. Then form a second FM strip on the non-magnetic layer, and form a second AFM pinning layer over a portion of the second FM strip, with a second AFM pinning layer being composed identically of the first material. Perform a second high temperature annealing step on the first and second FM strips and the first and second pinning layers and the intermediate non-magnetic layer in the presence of a second magnetic field antiparallel to the first magnetic field. A head with NiFe FM strips and FeMn or MnPt, etc, AFM layers for both strips is provided.

    Abstract: Within a method for forming a magnetoresistive (MR) sensor element there is first provided a substrate. There is then formed over the substrate a first magnetoresistive (MR) layer having formed contacting the first magnetoresistive (MR) layer a magnetically biased first magnetic bias layer biased in a first magnetic bias direction with a first magnetic bias field strength. There is also formed separated from the first magnetoresistive (MR) layer by a spacer layer a second magnetoresistive (MR) layer having formed contacting the second magnetoresistive (MR) layer a magnetically un-biased second magnetic bias layer. There is then biased through use of a first thermal annealing method employing a first thermal annealing temperature, a first thermal annealing exposure time and a first extrinsic magnetic bias field the magnetically un-biased second magnetic bias layer to form a magnetically biased second magnetic bias layer having a second magnetic bias field strength in a second magnetic bias direction non-parallel to the first magnetic bias direction while simultaneously partially demagnetizing the magnetically biased first magnetic bias layer to provide a partially demagnetized magnetically biased first magnetic bias layer having a partially demagnetized first magnetic bias field strength less than the first magnetic bias field strength. Finally, there is then annealed thermally through use of a second thermal annealing employing a second thermal annealing temperature and a second thermal annealing exposure time without a second magnetic bias field: (1) the partially demagnetized magnetically biased first magnetic bias layer layer to form a remagnetized partially demagnetized first magnetic bias layer having a remagnetized partially demagnetized first netic bias field strength greater than the partially demagnetized first magnetic bias field strength; and (2) the magnetically biased second magnetic bias layer to form a further magnetically biased second magnetic bias layer having a further magnetized second magnetic bias field strength greater than the second magnetic bias field strength.
