A magnetic material having a low coefficient of thermal expansion of 11.5×10−6/K or less is used for forming at least one of a lower shield or an upper shield. A laminated film comprising a layer of the magnetic material having a low coefficient of thermal expansion of 11.5×10−6/K or less, and an 80 wt % NiFe alloy layer, is used for forming at least one of the lower shield and the upper shield. Thus, the thin film magnetic head having reduced after-record noise and reduced thermal protrusion can be obtained.

A magnetic head comprises a retrieving unit for converting magnetic information output from a recording medium into an electric signal, a writing unit having the function of electromagnetic conversion for writing the magnetic information in the recording medium in response to the electric signal, and a first protective film formed on the retrieving unit. A second protective film is formed on the first protective film. The coefficient of linear expansion of the second protective film is reduced in comparison with that of the first protective film. Furthermore, the first protective film is an alumina film; in contrast, the second protective film is a film made of an alumina film containing silicon oxide therein.

Embodiments of the invention provide a thin film magnetic head suitable for high density recording having a small erase band ΔE and a small fringe magnetic field, and a large recording magnetic field. In one embodiment, a width LW of a lower magnetic pole piece protuberance of a leading side magnetic pole piece, at a face in contact with a write gap layer, is made smaller than a width TW of an upper magnetic pole piece front layer of a trailing side magnetic pole piece, at a face in contact with the write gap layer, and the width of the lower magnetic pole piece protuberance adjacent to the write gap layer is made larger, in a direction from the write gap layer.

A thin film head having reading part and recording part having an upper magnetic pole front end layer and a lower magnetic pole having a lower magnetic main layer, a lower magnetic pole front end portion on the lower magnetic main layer, and a projection step portion on the lower magnetic pole front end portion. The upper magnetic pole front end layer has a magnetic pole expansion position and a length from an air bearing surface to the magnetic pole expansion position is less than a length from the air bearing surface to gap depth position of the lower magnetic pole front end portion.

A lower magnetic pole front end portion is provided on a lower magnetic pole main layer, and then, an upper magnetic pole front end portion or an upper magnetic pole front end layer is formed on the flat surface so as to enhance the track width accuracy of thin film head. The height of the lower magnetic pole front end portion is increased so as to enhance the magnetic field intensity. A projection step portion having a width larger than that of the upper magnetic pole front end layer is provided on the lower magnetic pole front end portion. The unnecessary medium in-plane magnetic field can be thus reduced in the off-track position. The respective parts of the head are corrected, thereby realizing a high recording magnetic field intensity exceeding 716 kA/m (9000Oe).

A protrusion 24 having a width Lpfw equal to or somewhat larger than a track width Tw and protruding to the air bearing surface is provided on a lower magnetic pole 5 or lower magnetic pole front end layer 19. The lower magnetic pole 5 or the lower magnetic pole front end layer 19 other than the protrusion is retracted by Lpfd from the air bearing surface 15. With the constitution, since the upper end surface 23 of the lower magnetic pole 5 or the lower magnetic pole to end layer 19 that generates the leakage magnetic fields in the off-track portions is not exposed to the air bearing surface 15, the leakage magnetic fields Hxz in the off-track portions can be decreased greatly.
摘要:
A lower magnetic pole front end layer is formed on a lower magnetic pole main layer, and a lower magnetic pole projection layer, a recording gap layer and an upper magnetic pole front end layer each having substantially the same planar shape are formed on a planar surface of the lower magnetic pole front end layer. Trimming of a lower electrode is not necessary, and track width accuracy can be drastically improved because a resist frame is formed on the planar surface. A length of the upper magnetic pole front end layer from an air bearing surface to a head rear direction is greater than a length of the lower magnetic pole front end layer, and the rear end portion of the lower magnetic pole front end layer substantially defines a gap depth.
