    摘要: Embodiments of the invention provide a high-output magnetic reading head by making it easy to remove a re-deposited substance that deposits on the side wall surface in the track width direction or the side wall surface in the sensor height direction of a magneto-resistance film in a fabrication process of the magnetic reading head. In one embodiment, a refill film that is fabricated first of a refill film along track width direction or a refill film along sensor height direction is fabricated such that a layer in contact with the magneto-resistance film is formed of a material that is slow in etching rate but possible to minimize deterioration of characteristics due to thermal treatment and a layer(s) other than the layer in contact with the magneto-resistance film is formed of a material(s) that is fast in etching rate.

    摘要: A high output magneto-resistive sensor is provided by suppressing leftover resist mask after lift-off and generation of a fence, and by making it easy to remove the redepositions deposited on the side wall in the track width direction or on the side wall in the sensor height direction of the magnetoresistive film. As a means to solve a fence and lift-off leftover of a resist in a process for forming a track and a process for forming a sensor height, a stopper layer is provided on the magnetoresistive film and the stopper layer on the refill film, and performing lift-off by CMP. By using a metallic material which has a small CMP polishing rate for at least the first stopper layer, the magnetoresistive film and the first stopper layer can be etched simultaneously and a pattern formed. As a result, decrease of the height of the resist mask by RIE can be suppressed and lift-off leftover can be prevented.

    摘要: This invention provides a high-output magnetic head with a high yield, which is capable of minimizing sense current leak or noise caused by a shift of the magnetic wall of an upper shield layer. In one embodiment, the magnetic head is fabricated so that the height of the upper surface of the refill film along the sensor height direction is the same as that of the magnetoresistance layer in a portion where the refill film along the sensor height direction comes in contact with the magnetoresistance layer and the distance from the upper surface of the refill film along the sensor height direction to the upper surface of the lower shield layer gradually increases in a region from the portion where the refill film along the sensor height direction comes in contact with the magnetoresistance layer to a point at a certain distance away from the portion.

    摘要: A thin-film magnetic head having little temperature rise in the element, good heat dissipation and a short magnetic path length (narrow coil pitch) and manufacturing method for same is provided. To form the coil of the thin-film magnetic head, a lower coil is first formed and after forming alumina and an inorganic compound containing alumina, a trench is formed for the upper coil by reactive ion etching. The lower coil allows uniform etching at this time and functions as a film to prevent loading effects occurring during reactive ion etching. This trench is then plated in copper and chemical mechanical planarization performed to form the upper layer coil as the dual-layer coil of the present invention. Heat from the coil is efficiently radiated towards the substrate by alumina and an inorganic compound containing alumina with good heat propagation. The ratio of alumina or inorganic compound containing alumina in the lower coil can be selected by reactive ion etching so that an upper coil trench functioning as an etching stopper can be securely formed to allow forming a stable coil film thickness and a short magnetic path length.
