Abstract

An apparatus, in accordance with one aspect of the present invention, includes a module having a media facing surface. The module comprises the following components. A sensor is recessed from the media facing surface. A flux guide extends from the media facing surface toward the sensor. A soft bias layer is positioned on opposite sides of the sensor in a cross-track direction. A stabilization layer is located above the sensor, flux guide and soft bias layer for stabilizing the soft bias layer. A nonmagnetic exchange break layer is positioned above the sensor and the flux guide for magnetically decoupling the sensor and the flux guide from the stabilization layer.
