    摘要: The present invention is to realize a magnetic recording and reproducing apparatus in which even if a spacing between shields of a magnetic head is narrowed, a deterioration in characteristic caused by a short-circuiting between a magnetoresistive layer and a magnetic shield layer is prevented to provide a high recording density. The present invention comprises an upper shield layer 15, a lower shield layer 13,and a magnetoresistive layer 14 arranged therebetween. Further, there is provided a constitution in which one or both shield layers has (have) a high resistance layer comprising a mixed layer of ferromagnetic metal and an insulating material, or a discontinuous multi-layer having a plurality of ferromagnetic metal layers and a plurality of insulating material layers laminated alternately, to prevent a deterioration in characteristic caused by a short-circuiting.

    摘要: A magnetoresistive sensor which, despite a narrow reproducing shield gap, affords high resolution and high reproducing output because of its structure and is able to minimize the amount of sense current leaking into the shield layer through the gap layer. A magnetic storage apparatus suitable for high-density recording is provided with a magnetic head having said magnetoresistive sensor. The structure is characterized in that at least either of the lower shield layer or upper shield layer is partly or entirely a magnetic layer which is a composite film composed of ferromagnetic metal and oxide, and an insulation protective film is arranged between the electrode film or longitudinal bias film and the magnetic film which is a composite film composed of ferromagnetic metal and oxide.

    摘要: According to one embodiment, a CPP structure magnetoresistive head includes a magnetoresistive sensor film between a lower shield layer and an upper shield layer and a longitudinal biasing layer disposed at each side of the magnetoresistive sensor film via a read track width defining insulator film. In the stripe height direction, the length of the longitudinal biasing layer is longer than the length of a second ferromagnetic layer in which its magnetization rotates in response to the external magnetic field. The second ferromagnetic layer is one of the layers comprising the magnetoresistive sensor film. At a stripe height, the surface of each longitudinal biasing layer has a step to change the thickness thereof across the step so that the air bearing surface section thereof has a larger thickness than any other section. Other structures using a magnetoresistive head and methods of production thereof are described as well.

    摘要: Embodiments in accordance with the present invention provide a thin film magnetic head for preventing a short-circuit failure during formation of a track portion or a stripe-height portion and improving a yield. In one embodiment, a stripe-height direction is first formed, and then a track-width direction is formed. A third insulating film having a smoothly shaped wall surface is formed on a first insulating film during stripe-height formation. During formation of the third insulating film, an optimized lift-off pattern is used to smooth an edge shape.

    摘要: Embodiments of the present invention help to efficiently apply a longitudinal biasing with appropriate strength from a longitudinal biasing layer to a free layer even in a small read gap length. According to one embodiment, in the track width direction of the magnetoresistive film, the longitudinal biasing layer excluding its portion close to the magnetoresistive film is made approximately uniform in thickness. An edge toward the magnetoresistive film of the longitudinal biasing layer is positioned more outwardly in the track width direction than an edge in the track width direction of the free layer. A portion closest to the substrate of the interface between the longitudinal biasing layer and the insulator on the track-width sides is positioned lower than the interface between the magnetoresistive film and the lower magnetic shield layer.
