A magnetic head and a production method therefore in which permanent magnet films for applying a DC bias magnetic field Hd h to a magnetoresistive effect element film (MR element film) is arranged on both sides of the thickness dimension of the MR element film through at least a non-magnetic film therebetween. In making the MR element film thicker in order to reduce distortion, the DC bias magnetic field Hd b to be applied to the MR element film is also required to be increased. Unlike the prior art in which the above-mentioned requirement is met by increasing the thickness of the permanent magnet film under the thickness of the MR element film resulting in the problem of breakage of a film member above or under the thickness of the permanent magnet film, the invention further comprises a second permanent magnet film above the thickness of the MR element film without increasing the thickness of the first permanent magnet film. In the case of a magnetic head with a shield members of soft magnetic material holding the MR element film from both sides of the thickness thereof, the MR element film is made thicker to make reproduction possible without any distortion or without substantially increasing the gap. For this purpose, the MR element film is held on the sides above and under the thickness thereof by first and second permanent magnet films which in turn are held by the shield members. To minimize distribution of the MR element film, a comparatively high-temperature process after forming of the MR element film i.e., forming of the second permanent magnet film is effected at optimum temperature, and a magnetic field is applied along the magnetic easy axis of the MR element film.

A multi-element magnetic head having a plurality of magnetic heads, in which a common electrode common to the coils of the individual heads is provided. By this construction the number of electrodes is reduced and also the area required for contact between leads from an external circuit and electrodes are reduced. Thus, it is made possible to reduce the head pitch of the magnetic heads.

A thin magnetic film is deposited over a nonmagnetic or piezoelectric substrate. When a shock wave is propagated through this substrate from its one end to the other end, the permeability of the thin magnetic film is locally increased and a portion or region having a high permeability also travels from one end to the other end of the thin magnetic film in unison with the shock wave. A magnetic core with a signal winding is disposed and magnetically coupled with the thin magnetic film. The signal can be recorded or reproduced while the recording medium is scanned.

The invention provides a magnetoresistive element which magnetostatically has magnetic anisotropy to control a domain structure and which eliminates Barkhousen noise that will cause abrupt movement of domain walls and irregular magnetization due to a change in the signal magnetic field, wherein a grating pattern is formed on at least one surface of a magnetoresistive film by a process in which a grating pattern is unidirectionally formed on the surface of a substrate and the magnetoresistive film of a ferromagnetic body is deposited thereon.

A thin-film magnetic head having a magnetic substrate made from ferrite, iron-aluminum-silicon alloy or like material, and an upper magnetic layer formed on the magnetic substrate with a lower magnetic layer and a conductive layer interposed therebetween. A portion of the upper magnetic layer is jointed to the magnetic substrate while another portion of the upper magnetic layer is jointed to the lower magnetic layer through a non-magnetic layer of SiO.sub.2 or like material constituting a magnetic gap. The lower magnetic layer, magnetic substrate, upper magnetic layer and the non-magnetic layer in combination form a closed magnetic circuit. A groove is defined between the lower magnetic layer and the magnetic substrate, and formed in the side surface of the magnetic substrate adapted to face a magnetic recording medium. The recess is filled with a non-magnetic material such as glass. Accordingly, it is possible to realize a definite pole piece length to permit an improvement in short-wavelength reproduction characteristics.

The invention provides a method for manufacturing a thin film magnetic head with a low step structure having a first nonmagnetic insulating layer, a lower magnetic layer, a nonmagnetic insulating layer of a thickness corresponding to a gap length, a second nonmagnetic insulating layer, a conductive layer which constitutes a coil, a third nonmagnetic insulating layer, and an upper magnetic layer, each of which is sequentially formed on a nonmagnetic conductive substrate in the order named. A conductive layer is formed in a recess whose bottom surface corresponds to an exposed upper surface of the nonmagnetic conductive substrate and which is formed in a predetermined portion of the first nonmagnetic insulating layer formed on the nonmagnetic conductive substrate. Thereafter, electroplating is performed to form a yoke portion of the lower magnetic layer in the recess by applying a voltage to the conductive layer as an electrode through the nonmagnetic conductive substrate. Further, a magnetic layer of a predetermined thickness is formed on the yoke portion and in its vicinity to increase the thickness of the yoke.
摘要:
A thin-film magnetic head employing a magneto-resistive element (MR element), which comprises a substrate, a layer of MR element deposited on said substrate and a conductor layer for supplying said MR element with an electric current in the longitudinal direction thereof. The substrate has at least two crystal axes in the plane parallel to the surface on which said magnetoresistive element is disposed. The respective coefficients of thermal expansion in the directions of said two crystal axes are different from each other. The coefficients of thermal expansion in the directions of said two crystal axes, the orientations of said two crystal axes and the magnetostriction coefficient of the MR element are adjusted in a relationship whereby an internal stress is imparted due to the difference between the temperature during deposition of the MR element and the room temperature, and the thus imparted stress operates to provide the spins within the MR element with a tendency to be oriented in said longitudinal direction of the MR element.
