    摘要: A magnetic head includes: a pole layer including a track width defining portion and a wide portion; and an accommodation layer disposed on a bottom forming layer and having a groove that accommodates the pole layer. The groove includes a first portion for accommodating at least part of the track width defining portion, and a second portion for accommodating at least part of the wide portion. A manufacturing method for the magnetic head includes the steps of: forming a groove defining layer on a nonmagnetic layer that is intended to later become the accommodation layer; forming a mask that covers an area of the nonmagnetic layer where to form the first portion of the groove; etching the nonmagnetic layer so that the second portion of the groove is formed in the nonmagnetic layer; removing the mask; and taper-etching the nonmagnetic layer so that the first portion of the groove is formed in the nonmagnetic layer and the groove is thereby completed.

    摘要: A near-field light generating element has an outer surface. The outer surface includes a bottom surface, first and second inclined surfaces, an edge part that connects the first and second inclined surfaces to each other, and a front end face located in a medium facing surface. The front end face includes a first side that lies at an end of the first inclined surface, a second side that lies at an end of the second inclined surface, and a tip that is formed by contact of the first and second sides with each other and forms a near-field light generating part. Each of the first side and the second side has a lower part and an upper part that are continuous with each other. An angle formed between the upper part of the first side and the upper part of the second side is smaller than that formed between the lower part of the first side and the lower part of the second side.

    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.
