A method is disclosed for fabricating a read sensor for a magnetic head for a hard disk drive having a read sensor stack and two lateral stacks. The method of fabrication includes forming lateral stacks on a gap layer, surrounding a groove to form a template. The read sensor stack is then formed in the groove, which defines the lateral dimensions of the read sensor stack, and lead layers are then formed on the lateral stacks. Also disclosed is a read head for a disk drive having a sensor stack defined by pre-established lateral stacks, and a disk drive having the read head.
