    摘要: A method of forming a magnetic head comprises the steps of: selectively exposing through the use of a photomask a photoresist layer unpatterned; forming a pattern for forming a pole layer by developing the photoresist layer after the exposure; and forming the pole layer through the use of the pattern. The photomask includes first to third regions. The first region has such a perimeter that a projection image thereof is shaped along a perimeter of an ideal shape of the top surface of the pole layer. The second region touches the perimeter of the first region, and is located outside the first region. The third region is located inside the first region without touching the perimeter of the first region. The third region suppresses deviation of the pole layer from its desired shape which may be caused by the effect of light reflected while the photoresist layer is exposed.

    摘要: A pole layer has an end face located in a medium facing surface, allows a magnetic flux corresponding to a magnetic field generated by a coil to pass therethrough, and generates a write magnetic field for writing data on a recording medium by means of a perpendicular magnetic recording system. A shield incorporates: a first layer having an end face located in a region of the medium facing surface forward of the end face of the pole layer along the direction of travel of the recording medium; a second layer disposed in a region sandwiching the pole layer with the first layer; a first coupling portion coupling the first layer to the second layer without touching the pole layer; and a second coupling portion coupling the pole layer to the second layer and located farther from the medium facing surface than the first coupling portion.

    摘要: A track width defining layer includes: a track width defining portion having an end located in the air bearing surface and the other end located opposite to the air bearing surface; and a wide portion coupled to the other end of the track width defining portion. The track width defining layer is formed by frame plating. A frame is formed by exposing and developing a resist layer. The step of exposing the resist layer includes: a first exposure step for forming a first latent image in the resist layer; and a second exposure step for forming a second latent image in the resist layer. The first latent image is made up of a first portion corresponding to the track width defining portion and a second portion adjoining the first portion and extending along the contour of the wide portion. The second latent image is intended for use in combination with the first latent image so as to form a latent image corresponding to the track width defining layer, and does not include a portion corresponding to the track width defining portion.
