A manufacturing method of a thin-film magnetic head comprising a read head portion for data reading which has at least two magnetic layers functioning as a magnetic shield and a write head portion for data writing which has two magnetic layers functioning as a magnetic pole is provided, in a process forming at least the lowest magnetic layer in at least the two magnetic layers functioning as the magnetic shield and the two magnetic layers functioning as the magnetic pole in the case of forming a plurality of thin-film magnetic head patterns on an element formation surface of the wafer substrate, which comprises steps of: forming this magnetic layer so as to reach a position which becomes a medium opposed surface at a middle portion to a trick width direction in each thin-film magnetic head pattern, and forming a dishing prevention portion at a position farther than this magnetic layer from the position which becomes the medium opposed surface in both sides or either side along the track width direction of this magnetic layer; forming a nonmagnetic insulating layer so as to cover the magnetic layer and the dishing prevention portion; and planarizing and polishing the magnetic layer, the dishing prevention portion, and the nonmagnetic insulating layer thereafter.

A bottom pole layer and a top pole layer respectively incorporate pole portion layers. Cross sections of the pole portion layers and a gap layer parallel to the top surface of a substrate are of the same shapes. The aggregate of the pole portion layers and the gap layer includes a first portion having a width W that defines the track width, and a second portion having a width greater than the width W of the first portion. L/W falls within a range of 2 to 5 inclusive, where L is the distance from a medium facing surface to the interface between the first portion and the second portion. S/(W×L) falls within a range of 5 to 40 inclusive, where S is the area of the cross section of the aggregate parallel to the top surface of the substrate.

There is disclosed a soft magnetic thin film represented by a composition formula of Fea1·Cob1·Cc1·Od1. In this case, atomic % values of the a1 to d1 respectively satisfy the following: 51.0≦a1≦95.0, 5 0≦b1≦49.0, 0.5≦c1≦10.0, 0.5≦d1≦20.0, a1+b1+c1+d1=100 Thus, it is possible to improve a characteristic of a thin film magnetic head by achieving a high saturation magnetic flux density, suppressing an increase in an anisotropic magnetic field caused by increased concentration of oxygen, and preventing a reduction in permeability.

A method of manufacturing a thin-film magnetic head allowing dimension control of the width of the magnetic pole and reduction of the time required for formation is provided. A layer of iron nitride formed by sputtering is selectively etched with the RIE to form a top pole tip. In this etching process with RIE, chlorine-type gas is selected as a gas seed for etching, and the process temperature is in a range of 50° C. to 300° C. Subsequently, using part of a first mask and a tip portion of the top pole tip as a mask, part of both the write gap layer and the second bottom pole are etched with the RIE similarly to the above process, to thereby form a magnetic pole. The etching conditions are optimized by performing the process with the RIE under the above conditions, so that both of the top pole tip and the magnetic pole can be formed with high precision, and that the time required for forming both of these elements can be significantly reduced.

The present invention relates to a magnetic head and particularly to improvement of its recording element. The recording element includes a first magnetic film, a second magnetic film, a coil film, and an insulating film. The first magnetic film has a first pole portion. The second magnetic film has a second pole portion opposed to the first pole portion with a magnetic gap film therebetween and is joined to the first magnetic film at a back gap portion that is located in a rearward position with respect to a medium facing surface. The coil film extends around the back gap portion, and the insulating film encloses the coil film. Moreover, the second magnetic film entirely covers the insulating film.

A top pole layer in a write head includes, in a pole portion, a first layer having surfaces one of which is adjacent to a write gap layer, a second layer having surfaces one of which is adjacent to the other surface of the first layer, and a third layer having surfaces one of which is adjacent to the other surface of the second layer.
