Abstract:
A thin-film magnetic head comprises a reproducing element formed on an undercoat film on a head substrate surface, a recording element formed on the upper side of the reproducing element, and a heater formed on the upper or lower side of the reproducing element, the heater generating heat upon energization so as to project at least the reproducing element by thermal expansion toward a recording medium. A shield layer is formed between the reproducing element and the heater by a plurality of layers including at least first and second shield layers. In the first and second shield layers, the second upper shield layer located closer to the heater is formed by a material having a coefficient of thermal expansion smaller than that of the first shield layer located closer to the reproducing element.
Abstract:
A vertical magnetic recording head device includes: a magnetic layer that includes a main magnetic pole exposed from a surface facing a recording medium; a return yoke layer that is provided on the magnetic layer with a non-magnetic layer interposed therebetween; and coil layers that apply a recording magnetic field to the magnetic layer and the return yoke layer. In the vertical magnetic recording head device, the return yoke layer includes thick portions that extend in a height direction in edge regions arranged in a track width direction
Abstract:
A perpendicular magnetic recording head according to the present invention is composed of a first magnetic layer having a main magnetic pole exposed at a facing surface opposite a recording medium, a second magnetic layer adjacent to the first magnetic layer with an intermediary non-magnetic layer disposed therebetween, and a coil layer for applying a recording magnetic field to the first magnetic layer. Since the second magnetic layer has a shape including a substantially arched portion in its cross section along a height direction, it becomes possible to keep an Edge Write magnetic field in a low level and improve external magnetic field resistance.

There is provided a thin-film magnetic head capable of locally projecting an element portion to a recording medium. A thin-film magnetic head includes an element portion including at least one of a reproducing element and a recording element; and a heat generating element projecting an element portion toward a recording medium by a thermal expansion due to heat generated by electrification of the head generating element, where the heat generating element passes through a plurality of layers constituting the thin-film magnetic head on an inner side in the height direction of the element portion.

The thin film magnetic head including a metal lamination part in which an upper metal layer is laminated on a lower metal layer. The metal lamination part is formed in the laminated structure. An interlayer connection surface between the lower metal layer and the upper metal layer of the metal lamination part is formed in a concave shape that is curved toward the lower metal layer.
Abstract:
In a method for manufacturing a perpendicular magnetic recording head, a groove defined by the inner side surfaces of a first nonmagnetic layer and the top surface of a main magnetic pole layer is formed using the difference in etching rates for dry etching between the main magnetic pole layer and the first nonmagnetic layer. An auxiliary magnetic pole layer is formed on the groove with a nonmagnetic material layer disposed therebetween. A projection integrated with the auxiliary magnetic pole layer is formed in a recess of the nonmagnetic material layer on the groove. This projection extends toward the main magnetic pole layer.
Abstract:
The object of this invention is to have shorter sealing chambers (preheating chamber and gradual cooling chamber) located before and after the brazing atmospheric chamber, to make higher sealing of the atmosphere, and to prevent the scratch caused by the conventional curtains made of metal or others. In order for that, the structures made of steel or graphite are installed standing perpendicular to the moving direction on the conveyor belt which is circulating through the atmospheric furnace. And the bendable or flexible sealing materials are installed on the ceiling and on the right and left side walls of the sealing chambers (preheating chamber and gradual cooling chamber), which are located before and after the atmospheric furnace, into the above two chambers, and making these bendable or flexible sealing materials have rubbing contact with the above mentioned structures.
Abstract:
A first insulating layer is formed on a main magnetic pole used as a magnetic pole layer to have a protruding portion and a flat portion formed around the protruding portion. A second insulating layer is formed on the flat portion, and then the protruding portion of the first insulating layer is cut to expose the upper surface of the main magnetic pole and to form the same planarized surface including the upper surfaces of the main magnetic pole and the second insulating layer. Polishing is stopped using the second insulating layer as a marker, thereby permitting precise control of the amount of polishing.
Abstract:
A perpendicular magnetic recording head is provided that has a first coil layer is electrically connected to a second coil layer through contact layers. A laminator has a main magnetic pole layer and a gap layer which are formed between the first and second coil layers and above the contact layers. At both sides of the laminator, first insulating layers are formed. A second insulating layer is formed from a top surface of the laminator to top surfaces of the first insulating layers. An inclined surface is formed in each of the first insulating layers, and in the second insulating layer, the inclined surface is formed on the inclined surface of the first insulating layer. A lateral region of the second coil layer extends downward along the inclined surfaces of the second insulating layer, and an inclined angle on the inclined surface of the first insulating layer is larger than an inclined angle on the inclined surface of the second insulating layer.
Abstract:
First and second magnetic layers of a magnetic head face each other. A toroidal coil layer having upper and lower layer coil pieces (ULCP and LLCP) is wound around one of the magnetic layers. The ULCP extend from a first insulating layer by downward steps to a top of a second insulating layer which is widened at ends of the first insulating layer. Side ends of the first insulating layer extend parallel to a height direction. The ULCP are orthogonal to the side ends. Each of the LLCP is formed on a third insulating layer and has a straight region extending in the same direction as the upper layer coil pieces and a curved region curved toward a facing surface or in a height direction on one end in the track width direction. An end of each of the straight and curved region is connected to an ULCP.
