Stitch ... This is a follow-up post from my first post. A person who actually sells into this market (TFH) wrote the following concerning your question. You: I am curious to know if anyone knows what the alternative deposition methods/equipment are for GMR thin-film layers? Their response: For creation of the actual GMR stack (that is the specific stack of materials that sense the magnetic transitions on the disk), it is either Ion Beam Deposition or Sputter Deposition. And the race is far from being decided, either in terms of technology or vendor. (The main players right now are CVC, Commonwealth and Veeco). Remember that there are many other films to be etched and deposited in the whole thin film head (MR or GMR). I hope this helps you. Regards, John McCarthy
