There is provided a practical magnetoresistance effect element which has an appropriate value of resistance, which can be sensitized and which has a small number of magnetic layers to be controlled, and a magnetic head and magnetic recording and/or reproducing system using the same. In a magnetoresistance effect element wherein a sense current is caused to flow in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the film, a resistance regulating layer is provided in at least one of a pinned layer, a free layer and an non-magnetic intermediate layer. The resistance regulating layer contains, as a principal component, an oxide, a nitride, a fluoride, a carbide or a boride. The resistance regulating layer may be a continuous film or may have pin holes. Thus, it is possible to provide a practical magnetoresistance effect element which has an appropriate value of resistance, which can be sensitized and which has a small number of magnetic layers, while effectively utilizing the scattering effect depending on spin.

When manufacturing a thin film magnetic head in which an upper magnetic pole is formed on a lower magnetic pole through a magnetic gap, firstly, at least on the lower magnetic pole, a convex portion possessing the width equivalent to a track width is formed. The convex portion forms a lower magnetic pole tip. Conforming to a contour of the convex shape of the lower magnetic pole, a non-magnetic material layer is formed. A flattening layer is formed on the non-magnetic material layer. The non-magnetic layer is etched with the flattening layer, for example, as a mask. In the non-magnetic material layer, a concave portion self-aligned to the lower portion magnetic pole top (convex portion) is formed. Inside the concave portion, a magnetic layer (upper magnetic pole tip) destined to be a part of the upper magnetic pole is formed. As to the lower magnetic pole tip and the upper magnetic pole tip, the widths of surfaces opposite to the magnetic gap are almost equal, and the central positions thereof almost overlap each other. Thus, a narrow track head structure with high accuracy can be obtained.

A thin film magnetic head has a reproducing element or/and recording element which is held from the direction of its thickness between a first ceramic substrate and a second ceramic substrate. The reproducing element or/and recording element is positioned at substantially the center with respect to the direction of track width. The first and second ceramic substrates hold the reproducing element or/and recording element from, for example, the direction of track width. The reproducing element or/and recording element is provided with a yoke type reproducing part which has at least one pair of magnetic cores with a magnetic gap therebetween on the side of a medium opposed face and a magnetoresistance effect element to which a signal magnetic flux from a magnetic recording medium is led through the pair of magnetic cores. Heat due to a sense current and heat due to the contact between the reproducing element or/and recording element and the magnetic recording medium are efficiently dissipated to the first and second ceramic substrates, thereby retarding a temperature increase of the reproducing element or/and recording element. Abrasion in the neighborhood of the reproducing element or/and recording element is retarded by the first and second ceramic substrates. A magnetic recording apparatus is provided with a magnetic recording medium, and a magnetic head slider having the thin film magnetic head described above.
摘要:
A magnetic head has a recording magnetic yoke on the side of an air bearing surface of which a recording magnetic gap film is interposed and a reproducing magnetic yoke on the side of an air bearing surface of which a reproducing magnetic gap film is interposed. The magnetic yoke can serve concurrently for recording/reproducing. A recording coil supplying a recording magnetic flux to a recording medium through a recording magnetic yoke is disposed along one main surface of a magnetic yoke. An MR element in which a signal magnetic flux is led from a recording medium through a reproducing magnetic yoke is disposed along the other main surface on opposite side from a recording coil of a magnetic yoke. Or, at least on extension of a film plane of a magnetic gap film, a ferromagnetic layer is disposed so as for a film plane to exist in almost perpendicular direction relative to the film plane. According to such a head structure, reproducing sensitivity decrease of the reproducing MR head due to noise or occurrence of recording fringe can be suppressed.
