    摘要: In manufacturing the thin film magnetic head, the rear end face of the MR element and the rear end face of a resistive film pattern are determined with high precision using a mask pattern, in which a first opening and a second opening are collectively formed. The first and second openings are located side by side in a track-width direction. The first opening includes a first edge extending across the MR film in the track-width direction, and the second opening includes a second edge located at a given interval, as measured in a direction orthogonal to the track-width direction, from the first edge, and extending in the track-width direction. In the step of polishing for forming a magnetic-recording-medium-facing-surface, the amount of polishing is determined by monitoring the resistance change of the resistive film pattern, thereby reducing the dimension errors in the MR height when manufacturing the MR element.

    摘要: 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.
