Zusammenfassung:In a method of manufacturing a top pole of a write element for use in a disc drive storage system, a first trench is formed on a top surface of a bottom pole, the first trench includes a first opening defined by opposing first side walls and an exposed portion of the top surface located therebetween. Next, a second trench is formed within the first trench. The second trench includes a second opening defined by opposing second side walls formed adjacent the first side walls and a gap member formed on the exposed portion of the top surface of the bottom pole between the second side walls. Finally, a top pole is formed in the second opening, which is narrower than the first opening.
