摘要:
A manufacturing method of a composite type thin-film magnetic head with a reading head element and an inductive writing head element, includes a step of forming the reading head element and its lead conductor layers on a first insulation layer, a step of forming a second insulation layer to cover the reading head element and the lead conductor layers, a step of forming a second shield layer on the second insulation layer, a step of forming a third insulation layer, and a step of forming via holes and a back gap hole. The via holes and back gap hole forming step is executed by reactive ion etching (RIE) for simultaneously removing the second insulation layer and the third insulation layer located at the via holes and the third insulation layer located at the back gap hole.

In a method of forming a track width defining layer including a magnetic pole portion, a base film is initially formed on a write gap layer. The base film includes a first layer made of a magnetic material having a saturation magnetic flux density of 1.8 T or more, and a second layer formed on the first layer and made of a magnetic material. The magnetic material forming the second layer is a material containing Fe or Ni as a main component and without containing Co. Then, a frame having an opening of a shape matching with the track width defining layer is formed on the second layer. Subsequently, the track width defining layer is formed within the opening by electroplating, using the base film as an electrode.

A method of manufacturing a perpendicular magnetic write head capable of precisely narrowing a side gap is provided. A tip portion having a cross sectional geometry of an inverted trapezoid is formed in an opening portion of a non-magnetic layer and thereafter, the non-magnetic layer is etched with the tip portion as a mask. Thereby, a portion adjacent to the tip portion in a writing track width direction remains and an outermost edge portion of the tip portion in that direction is located on a plane which coincides with an etching face (side face) of the non-magnetic layer. When a gap layer is formed with a vapor phase growth such as a sputtering method to cover the side face of the non-magnetic layer and thereafter a side shield layer is formed adjacently to the tip portion therethrough, a thickness of the gap layer becomes extremely thin and is reproduced precisely. Therefore, the side gap is narrowed with high precision.

A method of manufacturing a perpendicular magnetic recording head capable of easily and accurately forming a main magnetic-pole layer having a shape suitable for concentrating a magnetic flux is provided. A nonmagnetic layer having a recessed section (a first recessed section and a second recessed section) is formed, and then an additional nonmagnetic layer is formed on an inner surface of the recessed section. Then, a magnetic layer is formed in the recessed section formed with the additional nonmagnetic layer, and then the magnetic layer is cut to form an air bearing surface, so as to form the main magnetic-pole layer.

The invention provides a thin film magnetic head including a first pole portion having depressed portion that is formed therein. The depressed portion descends, backward within the first pole portion, at a first inclination angle &thgr;1 from a first inclination starting point P1. Then, an insulating film is filled up in the depressed portion so that it can be located up to the upper side of the surface of the first pole and have an inclined surface in the side of a medium opposing surface. Additionally, a first magnetic film of a second pole portion can have a larger saturated magnetic flux density than a second magnetic film of the second pole portion, and can include an inclined portion with a second inclination angle &thgr;2 from a second inclination starting point P2.

A thin film magnetic head has a recording gap layer made of a nonmagnetic material, lower and upper magnetic pole layers made of a magnetic material, the lower and upper magnetic pole layers sandwiching the recording gap layer, and a magnetic material side layer deposited via a nonmagnetic material side layer on at least a part of a side surface of at least the upper magnetic pole layer.

A perpendicular magnetic write head capable of suppressing damage and corrosion of a magnetic pole to secure a stable writing performance is provided. A non-magnetic protruding layer protruding from a main magnetic pole layer (tip portion) toward an air bearing surface side is formed on both sides of the tip portion in a writing track width direction. The non-magnetic protruding layer is located closer to a recording medium than the tip portion during writing operation, and is more likely to be in contact with the writing medium instead of the tip portion. Since the protective film portion covering the tip portion hardly peels off (e.g., compared to the protective film portion covering the non-magnetic protruding layer), the tip portion is hardly damaged or corroded. Since the tip portion is protected physically and chemically by the non-magnetic protruding layer, deterioration of the soft magnetic characteristics of the tip portion is suppressed.

A perpendicular magnetic write head in which unintended erasure of information at the time of non-writing can be suppressed while keeping the capability of writing is provided. The perpendicular magnetic write head includes a magnetic pole tip portion, a first yoke portion connected to the magnetic pole tip portion, having a width larger than that of the magnetic pole tip portion, and having a recess portion in a center region thereof, and a second yoke portion embedded in the recess portion. The magnetic pole tip portion and the first yoke portion are integrally formed with a vapor deposition method, and the second yoke portion is formed with a plating method. Since the saturation flux density of the magnetic pole tip portion formed with the vapor deposition method becomes higher than that of the yoke portion, a magnetic flux intake capacity of the magnetic pole tip portion is ensured. In a magnetic domain structure of the yoke portion most of which is formed with the plating method, since an easy magnetization axis becomes likely to be directed in a direction perpendicular to an emitting direction of a magnetic flux, residual flux becomes less likely to leak out of the main magnetic pole layer at the time of non-writing.

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.
