    摘要: A first and a second longitudinal bias-applying films are formed via a first mask at both sides of a magnetoresistive effective element film so that the difference in surface level between the magnetoresistive effective element film and the first and the second longitudinal bias-applying films is set within ±20 nm. Then, a first and a second electrode films are formed so as to cover edge portions of the magnetoresistive effective element film and the first and the second longitudinal bias-applying films.

    摘要: A read head comprises an MR element, two bias field applying layers, and two conductive layers. The two bias field applying layers are adjacent to both side portions of the MR element, and apply a bias magnetic field to the MR element along the longitudinal direction. The two conductive layers feed a sense current to the MR element, each of the conductive layers being disposed to be adjacent to one of surfaces of each of the bias field applying layers and to overlap one of surfaces of the MR element. The conductive layers are each made of a gold alloy having a resistivity of less than 22 μΩ·cm and a hardness as high as or higher than the hardness of a material used for making the bias field applying layers.

    摘要: Provided are a thin film magnetic head and a method of manufacturing the same, which is capable of high density recording and obtaining stable output. The thin film magnetic head includes an MR film sandwiched in between first and second shield layers. The first shield layer includes an inner layer, a magnetization stabilizing layer, an underlayer, and an outer layer laminated in order from the MR film. The second shield layer includes an inner layer, a magnetization stabilizing layer, an isolating layer, and an outer layer laminated in order from the MR film. The magnetization stabilizing layers are formed of antiferromagnetic material, so as to control the direction of magnetization of the inner layers.

    摘要: A soft magnetic layer constituting a spin valve type magnetoresistance effect film comprises a multilayered body having at least two layers and including a first soft magnetic layer substantially made of Co or CoFe, and a second soft magnetic layer substantially made of NiFeX (wherein X represents at least one selected from Ta and Nb) in the order named from the side of a non-magnetic metal layer. More preferably, the soft magnetic layer comprises a multilayered body having at least three layers and including a first soft magnetic layer substantially made of Co or CoFe, a third soft magnetic layer substantially made of NiFe, and a second soft magnetic layer substantially made of NiFeX (wherein X represents at least one selected from Ta and Nb) in the order named from the side of the non-magnetic metal layer. Therefore, the detection sensitivity of a magnetic signal and the output of the magnetic head can be improved. Further, the linearity of the derived signal is also excellent.

    摘要: The SVMR element has a non-magnetic metallic thin-film layer, first and second ferromagnetic thin-film layers (free and pinned layers) formed to sandwich the non-magnetic metallic thin-film layer and an anti-ferromagnetic thin-film layer formed in contact with a surface of the second ferromagnetic thin-film layer. This surface is opposite to the non-magnetic metallic thin-film layer. The first ferromagnetic thin-film layer has a two-layers structure of a NiFe layer and a CoFe layer. The manufacturing method includes a step of depositing the first ferromagnetic thin-film layer, the non-magnetic metallic thin-film layer, the second ferromagnetic thin-film layer and the anti-ferromagnetic thin-film layer, and a step of annealing, thereafter, the deposited layers so that change in magnetostriction depending upon variation of a thickness of the NiFe layer becomes small.
