    摘要: This invention relates to a polishing method for polishing a surface of a material to be polished and a fabrication method of a thin film magnetic head having a planarization process for planarizing the surface of the material to be polished by polishing, and an object thereof is to reduce variations of a residual film thickness on the surface of a material to be polished after polishing. An insulating film 14 is formed on an AlTiC substrate 12 and a bottom shielding layer 16 is formed thereover. After forming a coating layer 18 and etching a mask layer 22 as an etching mask, a protruding portion of the coating layer 18 at the bottom of the opening of the mask layer 22 is removed by a desired thickness. Since a protruding portion of the coating layer 18 on the periphery of the opening of the mask layer is suitably undercut, the protruding portion is shaved, thereby obtaining the coating layer 18 which is planarized as a whole.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a film thickness measuring method measuring a film thickness of an element formation layer formed on a substrate and its object is to provide a film thickness measuring method which can measure a residual film thickness of a polishing object film in a polishing process at a high accuracy. In a fabrication method of a thin film magnetic head, alumina is coated over a dummy layer 54 and a bottom shielding layer 16 after forming the dummy layer 54 along with the bottom shielding layer 16 and a planarized layer 24 is formed by polishing the surface thereof using a CMP. Next, after forming a top shielding layer 32 over the bottom shielding layer 16, a planarized layer 38 is form by embedding alumina. A film thickness of an embedded 38 on the dummy layer 54 is measured by a non-contact optical film thickness measuring equipment and a film thickness of the top shielding layer 32 is measured based on the film thickness.

    摘要: A thin-film magnetic head structure has a configuration adapted to manufacture a thin-film magnetic head configured such that a main magnetic pole layer including a magnetic pole end part on a side of a medium-opposing surface opposing a recording medium, a write shield layer opposing the magnetic pole end part so as to form a recording gap layer on the medium-opposing surface side, and a thin-film coil wound about the write shield layer or main magnetic pole layer are laminated. The main magnetic pole layer includes a base magnetic pole part comprising the magnetic pole end part and a base depression distanced farther from the medium-opposing surface than the magnetic pole end part, and an embedded magnetic pole part buried in the base depression and joined to the base magnetic pole part. The thin-film magnetic head structure includes a yoke magnetic pole part joined to the base magnetic pole part and embedded magnetic pole part at a position distanced farther from the medium-opposing surface than the recording gap layer, and an intervening insulative film disposed between the embedded magnetic pole part and yoke magnetic pole part at a position distanced farther from the medium-opposing surface than the recording gap layer.

The second portion has a front end face that couples the surface of the first portion farther from the substrate to the surface of the second portion farther from the substrate. A shield layer has a portion located between the front end face and the medium facing surface in a region closer to the substrate than the surface of the second portion farther from the substrate.

    摘要: A thin-film magnetic head is manufactured as follows. First, a base insulating layer having a magnetic pole forming depression sunken into a form corresponding to the main magnetic pole layer is formed, a stop film for CMP is formed such as to fill the magnetic pole forming depression, and then a magnetic layer is formed on the stop film. Next, the magnetic layer is separated by forming a separation groove substantially surrounding the magnetic pole forming depression on the outside thereof, and thus separated magnetic layer is formed with a cover insulating film adapted to cover the whole upper face. The surface is polished by CMP until the stop film is exposed, so that the part of magnetic layer remaining on the inside of the magnetic pole forming depression is used as the main magnetic pole layer. Further, a recording gap layer, a write shield layer, and a thin-film coil are formed.
