    摘要: A method of manufacturing a perpendicular magnetic write head capable of precisely narrowing a side gap is provided. A tip portion having a cross sectional geometry of an inverted trapezoid is formed in an opening portion of a non-magnetic layer and thereafter, the non-magnetic layer is etched with the tip portion as a mask. Thereby, a portion adjacent to the tip portion in a writing track width direction remains and an outermost edge portion of the tip portion in that direction is located on a plane which coincides with an etching face (side face) of the non-magnetic layer. When a gap layer is formed with a vapor phase growth such as a sputtering method to cover the side face of the non-magnetic layer and thereafter a side shield layer is formed adjacently to the tip portion therethrough, a thickness of the gap layer becomes extremely thin and is reproduced precisely. Therefore, the side gap is narrowed with high precision.

    摘要: A perpendicular magnetic write head in which unintended erasure of information at the time of non-writing can be suppressed while keeping the capability of writing is provided. The perpendicular magnetic write head includes a magnetic pole tip portion, a first yoke portion connected to the magnetic pole tip portion, having a width larger than that of the magnetic pole tip portion, and having a recess portion in a center region thereof, and a second yoke portion embedded in the recess portion. The magnetic pole tip portion and the first yoke portion are integrally formed with a vapor deposition method, and the second yoke portion is formed with a plating method. Since the saturation flux density of the magnetic pole tip portion formed with the vapor deposition method becomes higher than that of the yoke portion, a magnetic flux intake capacity of the magnetic pole tip portion is ensured. In a magnetic domain structure of the yoke portion most of which is formed with the plating method, since an easy magnetization axis becomes likely to be directed in a direction perpendicular to an emitting direction of a magnetic flux, residual flux becomes less likely to leak out of the main magnetic pole layer at the time of non-writing.

    摘要: A perpendicular magnetic write head includes: a magnetic pole; a pair of nonmagnetic side gap layers provided on both sides in a track-width direction of the magnetic pole; a nonmagnetic trailing gap layer provided on a trailing side of the magnetic pole; a magnetic shield layer so provided as to surround the magnetic pole with both of the nonmagnetic side gap layer and the nonmagnetic trailing gap layer in between; and a magnetic seed layer formed between the nonmagnetic trailing gap layer and the magnetic shield layer, and having a saturation magnetic flux density higher than that of the magnetic shield layer. The magnetic seed layer is not formed between the nonmagnetic side gap layer and the magnetic shield layer.

    摘要: A perpendicular magnetic write head capable of suppressing damage and corrosion of a magnetic pole to secure a stable writing performance is provided.A non-magnetic protruding layer protruding from a main magnetic pole layer (tip portion) toward an air bearing surface side is formed on both sides of the tip portion in a writing track width direction. The non-magnetic protruding layer is located closer to a recording medium than the tip portion during writing operation, and more likely to be in contact with the writing medium instead of the tip portion. Since the portion of the protective film covering the tip portion hardly peels off while the portion of the protective film covering the non-magnetic protruding layer is easy to peel off, the tip portion is hardly damaged or corroded. Since the tip portion is protected physically and chemically by the non-magnetic protruding layer, the deterioration of the soft magnetic characteristics of the tip portion is suppressed.
