Magnetic recording transducer with electronic shield

A slider device for a hard disk drive comprising:

• a slider body being adapted to fly over the surface of a hard disk;
• a read/write head being formed on a surface of said slider body, said read/write head including:
• a write head for writing information onto magnetic media,
• a read head for reading information from said magnetic media, said read head including a first magnetic shield, a second magnetic shield and an MR element disposed therebetween;
• an electromagnetic field shield being disposed between said write head and said read head and functioning to shield read head from electromagnetic field energy created by said write head;
• and
• wherein said write head is disposed upon said slider body surface, a first insulation layer is disposed upon said write head, said electromagnetic field shield is disposed upon said first insulation layer, a second insulation layer is disposed upon said electromagnetic field shield, and said read head is disposed upon said second insulation layer.

A hard disk drive, comprising:

• at least one disk being adapted for rotary motion;
• at least one slider device having a slider body portion and being adapted to fly over said hard disk;
• a read/write head being formed on a surface of said slider body, said read/write head including:
• a write head for writing information onto magnetic media;
• a read head for reading information from said magnetic media, said read head including a first magnetic shield, a second magnetic shield and an MR element disposed therebetween;
• an electromagnetic field shield being disposed between said write head and said read head and functioning to shield said read from electromagnetic field energy created by said write head;
• and
• wherein said write head is disposed upon said slider body surface, a first insulation layer is disposed upon said write head, said electromagnetic field shield is disposed upon said first insulation layer, a second insulation layer is disposed upon said electromagnetic field shield, and said read head is disposed upon said second insulation layer.

A method for operating a read/write head of a hard disk drive, comprising the steps of:

• writing data onto magnetic media of a hard disk utilizing a write head;
• reading data from said magnetic media of said hard disk utilizing a read head, said step of reading data being conducted simultaneously with said step of writing data;
• shielding said read head from electromagnetic field energy generated by said write head by utilizing an electromagnetic field shield that is disposed between said write head and said read head and;
• wherein said read/write head is fabricated upon a hard disk drive slider member, and wherein said write head is fabricated upon a surface of said slider element, a first insulation layer is fabricated upon said write head, said electromagnetic field shield is fabricated upon said first and said read head is fabricated upon said second insulation layer.
