    摘要: A method for the production of a magnetic head, where first a lower magnetic pole is formed on a wafer. Next, a nonmagnetic write gap layer is formed on the lower magnetic pole. A coil is then formed to be sandwiched between nonmagnetic insulating layers on the nonmagnetic write gap layer. Finally, an upper magnetic pole, provided with a pole tip, is formed to contact the write gap layer on the nonmagnetic write gap layer. After formation, a focused ion beam is irradiated in the direction from a thickness of the pole tip to the lateral parts of the pole tip, the nonmagnetic write gap layer lying directly thereunder. The lower magnetic pole thereby trims the lateral parts of the pole tip while consequently decreasing the width of the pole tip. At the same time, depressed parts are formed in the lower magnetic pole in the areas extending outward from directly below the lateral parts of the pole tip. The width of the pole tip is then equalized and a width of the lower magnetic pole is sandwiched by the depressed parts. Lastly, a protective layer is formed, which is made of a nonmagnetic insulating material, fills in the depressed parts, and, at the same time, covers the upper magnetic pole and the lower magnetic pole.

    摘要: A plan or vertical type thin film magnetic head is produced by a process comprising the steps of: forming a gap separator layer of a non-magnetic material on the surface of a substrate, while the forming process is not limited to plating; forming a mask layer on the gap layer; patterning the mask layer to form a shield; etching the gap layer, while the shield functions as a mask, thereby forming a gap wall having a width narrower than that of the shield independent of the resolution degree of the resist; forming a magnetic pole layer of a soft magnetic material on the surface of the substrate by exposing the resist at a time, thereby the formed magnetic pole layer being separated by the gap wall; and, utilizing the gap wall as a magnetic pole gap of the magnetic pole layer.
