    摘要: A magnetic head includes a side shield layer and an encasing layer. The side shield layer has a first end face located in the medium facing surface, a second end face opposite to the first end face, and a first groove accommodating a portion of a pole layer. The first end face includes two portions located on both sides of an end face of the pole layer that are opposite to each other in a track width direction. The encasing layer is formed of a nonmagnetic material and disposed on a side of the side shield layer opposite to a medium facing surface. The encasing layer has a front end face touching the second end face of the side shield layer, and a second groove accommodating another portion of the pole layer. The distance from the medium facing surface to an arbitrary point on the second end face of the side shield layer decreases with decreasing distance from the arbitrary point to the top surface of a substrate.

    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 has an end face joint structure where respective end faces of the magnetic pole end part and a yoke magnetic pole part having a size greater than that of the magnetic pole end part are joined to each other, and a surface with a flat structure on a side closer to the thin-film coil.

    摘要: A heat-assisted magnetic recording head includes a slider, an edge-emitting laser diode fixed to the slider, and an external mirror provided outside the slider. The slider includes a magnetic pole, a waveguide, and a near-field light generating element. The laser diode includes: an emitting end face that lies at an end in a direction parallel to the plane of an active layer and includes a laser-light emission part; and a mounting surface that lies at an end in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the active layer and faces the slider. The external mirror includes: a first reference surface that is parallel to the emitting end face and faces the emitting end face; a second reference surface that is parallel to the mounting surface and faces toward the same direction as the mounting surface does; and a reflecting surface that connects the first and second reference surfaces to each other and reflects the laser light emitted from the emission part toward the waveguide.

    摘要: A near-field light generating element has an outer surface including first and second inclined surfaces and an edge part that connects the first and second inclined surfaces to each other. In a method of manufacturing the near-field light generating element, a polishing stopper layer is initially formed on a metal layer, and the polishing stopper layer and the metal layer are etched so that the metal layer is provided with the first inclined surface. Next, a coating layer is formed to cover the metal layer and the polishing stopper layer. The coating layer is made of a non-metallic inorganic material that has an etching rate lower than that of the metal layer in a second etching step to be performed later. Next, the coating layer is polished until the polishing stopper layer is exposed. Next, the second etching step is performed to etch the polishing stopper layer and the metal layer using the coating layer as the etching mask. This provides the metal layer with the second inclined surface and the edge part, and thereby makes the metal layer into the near-field light generating element.

    摘要: A heat-assisted magnetic recording head includes a magnetic pole, a waveguide, a near-field light generating element, and a substrate on which they are stacked. The near-field light generating element and the waveguide are disposed farther from the top surface of the substrate than is the magnetic pole. The near-field light generating element has an outer surface including: a first end face located in the medium facing surface; a second end face farther from the medium facing surface; and a coupling portion coupling the first and second end faces to each other. The first end face includes a near-field light generating part. The waveguide has an outer surface including an opposed portion opposed to a part of the coupling portion. The head further includes a mirror that reflects light emitted from a light source disposed above the waveguide, so as to let the light travel through the waveguide toward the medium facing surface.

    摘要: A thermally assisted magnetic head includes a main magnetic pole layer, a near-field light generating layer having a generating end part generating near-field light arranged within a medium-opposing surface, and an optical waveguide guiding light to the near-field light generating layer. The thermally assisted magnetic head includes a base layer which a base groove part having a width gradually getting smaller along a depth direction and extending in an intersecting direction intersecting with the medium-opposing surface is formed. The near-field light generating layer has an in-groove generating layer formed inside of the base groove part. The in-groove generating layer is formed along an inner wall surface of the base groove part and has a thin-film like structure.
