摘要:
A method of manufacturing a magnetic head includes the steps of: fabricating a magnetic head substructure by forming components of a plurality of magnetic heads on a substrate, the substructure including a plurality of pre-head portions aligned in a plurality of rows; and fabricating a plurality of magnetic heads by separating the plurality of pre-head portions from one another by cutting the substructure. In the step of fabricating the substructure, a plurality of sensors are formed, the sensors respectively showing individual sensor values corresponding to values of a plurality of different parameters each of which has an influence on characteristics of the magnetic head relating to a pole layer and each of which depends on the position of a medium facing surface. In the step of fabricating the magnetic heads, the medium facing surfaces are formed by lapping a surface formed by cutting the substructure so that a composite sensor value that depends on the plurality of individual sensor values shown by the plurality of sensors becomes a predetermined value.

A multi-channel head includes a substrate and a plurality of recording elements arranged on the substrate in a track width direction. At least one of the recording elements satisfies BGW BGW, where PW represents a pole width, BGW and BGD represent a width and a depth, respectively, of a back yoke.

The present invention is intended for a thin film magnetic head which can provide reduction in the excess magnetostatic leakage field even if the flare point is set near to the ABS in order to generate a sufficient recording magnetic field and which can assure stable overwrite characteristics even if there are variations in upper pole portion patterns. The pole end portion 223 has a width W11 to define a recording track width. The pole rear portion 222 has one end which is magnetically connected with the pole end portion 223 at or in the vicinity of an edge portion of an insulating film 273 and defines a first flare point FP1, the other end which is connected with the upper yoke portion 221 and defines a second flare point FP2, and both side edges in the track width direction which are inclined so that the width in the track width direction gradually increases from the second flare point FP2 toward the first flare point FP1. The width W11 of the pole end portion 223 at the first flare point FP1 is smaller than the maximum width W21 of the pole rear portion 222.

A thin-film magnetic head includes a lower magnetic layer, an upper magnetic layer, a recording gap layer, and a thin-film coil. The lower magnetic layer has a first magnetic pole tip layer, and a first yoke layer which is connected to the first magnetic pole tip layer. The first yoke layer has an extended part which is relatively thick and a reduced part which is relatively thin in the area in which the first yoke layer confronts the first magnetic pole tip layer, the extended part being positioned on the side of the air bearing surface. Further, the first magnetic pole tip layer is connected to the first yoke layer at the extended part, and is insulated from the first yoke layer at the reduced part.
