A magnetic head includes a main pole, a trailing shield, and a spin torque oscillator. A top surface of the main pole includes a first inclined portion, a second inclined portion, and a third inclined portion arranged in order of closeness to a medium facing surface. Each of the first to third inclined portions has a front end closest to the medium facing surface and a rear end farthest from the medium facing surface. Each of the first to third inclined portions is inclined relative to the medium facing surface and a direction orthogonal to the medium facing surface so that its rear end is located forward relative to its front end in a direction of travel of a recording medium.

A magnetic head includes first and second coils, a main pole, a write shield, a return path section, and a core part. The return path section includes a yoke part magnetically connected to the write shield, and a coupling part located away from a medium facing surface and magnetically coupling the yoke part and the main pole to each other. The first coil is located on the front side in the direction of travel of a recording medium relative to the main pole and wound around the coupling part. The core part is located farther from the medium facing surface than is the coupling part, and is magnetically connected to the main pole. The second coil is located on the front side in the direction of travel of the recording medium relative to the main pole and wound around the core part.

A thermally-assisted magnetic recording head includes a main pole and a heat sink. The heat sink includes two first portions and two second portions. The two first portions are located on opposite sides of the main pole in the track width direction and are each spaced from the main pole. The two second portions are located between the main pole and the two first portions. The main pole and the two first portions are each formed of a magnetic metal. The two second portions are formed of a nonmagnetic metal.
摘要:
A main pole has an end face located in a medium facing surface, and first through sixth side surfaces. The first and third side surfaces are connected to the end face of the main pole. The second and fourth side surfaces are located farther from the medium facing surface than are the first and third side surfaces. The fifth side surface connects the first side surface to the second side surface. The sixth side surface connects the third side surface to the fourth side surface. The distance between the first side surface and the third side surface decreases with increasing proximity to the top surface of the substrate. The shape of the first side surface is defined by a first side shield. The shape of the third side surface is defined by a second side shield.

A first side shield has a first sidewall and a second sidewall, and a second side shield has a third sidewall and a fourth sidewall. The first to fourth sidewalls have first to fourth edges, respectively, that are farthest from a top surface of a substrate. The distance between a rear end of the first edge and a rear end of the third edge in a track width direction is greater than the distance between a front end of the first edge and a front end of the third edge in the track width direction. The distance between the second edge and the fourth edge in the track width direction increases with increasing distance from the medium facing surface.

A magnetic head includes a main magnetic pole, a shield having an end face located in a medium facing surface to wrap around an end face of the main magnetic pole, and a gap part provided between the main magnetic pole and the shield. The shield includes a bottom shield, two side shields, and a top shield. The gap part includes first and second gap layers. In a manufacturing method of the magnetic head, a mold is formed on the top surface of the bottom shield, the mold having a shape determined by photolithography and being intended to be removed later. Next, the two side shields are formed on the top surface of the bottom shield by performing plating without forming a seed layer. Next, the mold is removed and then the first gap layer, the main magnetic pole, the second gap layer, and the top shield are formed in succession.

A MR sensor comprises a first shielding layer, a second shielding layer, a MR element and a pair of hard magnet layers sandwiched therebetween, and a non-magnetic insulating layer formed at a side of the MR element far from an air bearing surface of a slider. The MR sensor further comprises a first non-magnetic conducting layer formed between the first shielding layer and the MR element, and the first non-magnetic conducting layer is embedded in the first shielding layer and kept separate from the ABS. The MR sensor of the invention can obtain a narrower read gap to increase the resolution power and improve the reading performance, and obtain a strong longitudinal bias field to stabilize the MR sensor so as to increase the total sensor area and, in turn, get an improved reliability and performance. The present invention also discloses a magnetic head, a HGA and a disk drive unit.
