A pole layer incorporates a track width defining portion and a wide portion. The track width defining portion has an end face that is located in the medium facing surface and that defines the track width. The maximum width of the wide portion is greater than the track width and equal to or greater than the length of the wide portion taken in the direction orthogonal to the medium facing surface. When the coil is generating no magnetic field, in the end face of the track width defining portion, there exist first and second regions in which the directions of components of magnetization orthogonal to the medium facing surface are opposite.

The invention is devised to provide a method of manufacturing a thin film magnetic head including a magnetoresistive element having higher reading performance. In manufacturing the thin film magnetic head, after forming an MR element 15, a pair of magnetic domain controlling layers 16 are formed by stacking a buffer layer 161, a magnetic bias layer 162 and a cap layer 163 in this order on both sides, in a track-width direction, of the MR element 15 via an insulating layer 14 respectively. Then, a cap layer 17 is formed so as to cover the upper surface of the MR element 15 and connect the pair of cap-layers 163. After that, a gap adjustment layer 18 and a top shielding layer 19 are formed in order so as to cover the pair of cap layers 163 and the cap layer 17, thereby a read head section 10 is completed. In this manner, the upper surface of the magnetic bias layer 162 is in contact only with the cap-layer 17 and the cap-layer 163, which are made of a material excellent in crystal lattice compatibility with the magnetic bias layer 162. As a result, the coercive force of the magnetic bias layer 162 can be increased. What is more, roughness of the undersurface of the top shielding layer 19 can be improved because of the presence of the cap layer 17.

The invention provides a thin-film magnetic head wherein the combined release angle Φ for a dominant recording magnetic field generated from a magnetic pole layer toward a patterned media for the purpose of recording magnetic information is set to within an angle range of 35° to 65° with respect to a patterned media surface. It is thus possible to invert, with efficiency and reliability, the directions of magnetization of isolate bits lined up on the patterned media for high-density recording.

A perpendicular magnetic recording element includes a recording magnetic pole film and a write shield film. The recording magnetic pole film has a yoke portion and a main magnetic pole for perpendicular recording. The main magnetic pole projects from a front end of the yoke portion to have an end on a medium-facing surface. The write shield film faces the recording magnetic pole film and has a height equal to or smaller than that of the recording magnetic pole film, as measured rearward from the medium-facing surface.

An arm piece of a wiper arm, which has a connecting portion connected to a connecting pin through a connecting member received in an opening of a main lever, extends from the connecting portion toward a base end side portion of the main lever such that the arm piece overlaps with an upper surface of the main lever. The main lever is formed by runnerless injection molding. A gate trace, which is left on the main lever in the runnerless injection molding, is formed in an arm accommodation portion of the main lever, which is opposed to the arm piece in a top-to-bottom direction.

A developing device includes a first developer containing chamber, a second developer containing chamber, a first inflow section, a second inflow section, a first conveyance member and a second conveyance member. The first inflow section allows the developer to flow from the second developer containing chamber into the first developer containing chamber. The second inflow section allows the developer to flow from the first developer containing chamber into the second developer containing chamber. The first conveyance member conveys the developer contained in the first developer containing chamber in a first developer conveyance direction. The second conveyance member conveys the developer contained in the second developer containing chamber in a second developer conveyance direction. In a range corresponding to the first inflow section, an area of a cross section, perpendicular to the second developer conveyance direction, of the second developer containing chamber decreases along the second developer conveyance direction.

The present invention relates to a magnetic head, a manufacturing method therefor, a head assembly, and a magnetic recording/reproducing apparatus. According to the present invention, it includes a magnetic pole layer, a non-magnetic layer, a trailing gap layer, and a trailing shield layer. The magnetic pole layer has a pole tip exposed on a magnetic medium-facing surface. The non-magnetic layer is laid on the magnetic pole layer. The trailing shield layer is exposed on the magnetic medium-facing surface and laid over the magnetic pole layer and the non-magnetic layer with the trailing gap layer between. The magnetic pole layer and the non-magnetic layer have a continuous tapered face opposed to a lower side of the trailing shield layer. Moreover, the tapered face extends from a trailing edge of the pole tip at a constant inclination angle.
