Method and system for providing a read transducer having seamless interfaces
A method and system provide a substantially seamless interface in a magnetic transducer. The magnetic recording transducer includes a first layer and a second layer on the first layer. The second layer is different from the first layer. The first layer consists of at least one material. The method includes removing at least the second layer using a first removal process. A residue of the second layer and a first portion of the first layer remain after the first removal process. A first sacrificial layer consists of the at least one material on the first portion of the first layer. At least the first sacrificial layer is removed using a second removal process. A second portion of the first layer remains after completion of the second removal process. An additional structure is provided. The seamless interface is between the second portion of the first layer and the additional structure.
