As many others have said, the best way to get a pay rise is to get a new job. This becomes especially true if you work for BigCorp (or at least, big enough to have internal policies on pay rises).
I used to work with an embedded engineer who got a pay rise of 40% by quitting and getting another (very similar) job. Her manager knew that he needed to pay her a lot more but global company policy tied his hands and limited what pay rises he could hand out. I think he watched this happen over and over and over again.
