A magnetic device including: a magnetic reader; a magnetic writer; and a variable overcoat, the variable overcoat positioned over at least the magnetic reader and writer, the variable overcoat having an overcoat layer, the overcoat layer having a substantially constant thickness and material; and at least one disparate overcoat portion, the disparate overcoat portion having a different thickness, a different material, or both, than the overcoat layer.

A method of forming a PMR writer is disclosed wherein at least one of a recessed center section in the write pole trailing edge and a center recessed trailing shield is used to improve the field gradient at track edge. In all embodiments, there is a non-uniform write gap formed between the trailing edge and the trailing shield. The recessed portion of the write pole trailing edge and/or center recess of the trailing shield has a thickness from 10 to 40 nm in a down-track direction and a width in a cross-track direction of 20 to 200 nm. The distance between the center recess and a corner of the trailing edge is from 20 to 80 nm. A sequence of steps is provided to fabricate the two embodiments of the present invention.

A treatment apparatus includes two can rolls provided on a transfer path through which a long resin film is transferred in a roll-to-roll manner in a vacuum chamber; and surface treatment means facing an outer circumference of each of the can rolls to treat a surface of the long resin film cooled by being wound around the outer circumference. The downstream can roll is provided with upper and lower two sets of feeding and sending systems, and one surface of the long resin film in contact with the outer circumference of the downstream can roll at a time when the long resin film travels through the lower one of the two sets of feeding and sending systems is opposite to the other surface of the resin film in contact with the outer circumference of the downstream can roll at a time when the resin film travels through the upper one.
