A parasitic capacity C4 generated between a slider substrate and the first shield layer with the first insulating layer as a capacity layer is made substantially equal to a parasitic capacity C2 occurring between a lower magnetic layer and the second shield layer with the third insulating layer as a capacity layer. Preferably, a connection is made between the lower magnetic layer and the slider substrate by a resistance of preferably 100 (Ω) or lower. Thus, it is possible to provide a thin-film magnetic head that can hold back deterioration in a reproducing device and the occurrence of errors due to crosstalk between a recording device and the reproducing device and extraneous noises.

A composite thin-film magnetic head includes a substrate; a first insulation layer laminated on the substrate; an MR read head element formed on the first insulation layer and provided with a lower shield layer, an upper shield layer and an MR layer in which a sense current flows in a direction perpendicular to a surface of the MR layer through the upper shield layer and the lower shield layer; a second insulation layer laminated on the MR read head element; an inductive write head element formed on the second insulation layer and provided with a lower magnetic pole layer, a recording gap layer, an upper magnetic pole layer whose end portion is opposed to an end portion of the lower magnetic pole layer through the recording gap layer and a write coil; and a nonmagnetic conductive layer electrically conducted with the lower shield layer and opposed to the substrate in order to increase substantially countered area between the lower shield layer and the substrate.

A manufacturing method of a thin-film magnetic head provided with an MR element includes a step of forming an MR multi-layered structure in which a current flows in a direction perpendicular to surfaces of layers of the MR multi-layered structure, on a lower electrode film, a step of depositing an insulation film on the formed MR multi-layered structure and the lower electrode film, a step of flattening the deposited insulation film until at least upper surface of the MR multi-layered structure is exposed, and a step of forming an upper electrode film on the flattened insulation film and the MR multi-layered structure.

A magnetic head has less variations in the resistance of a magneto-resistive device before and after the magnetic head is left in a high temperature environment so as to have higher stability of the characteristics of the magnetic head against a high temperature environment. A TMR device includes a tunnel barrier layer made of an oxide layer. A DLC film serving as a protection film and an underlying layer therefor are formed on an end face of the TMR device on an air bearing surface side. A layer made of an oxide of a metal or an oxide of a semiconductor is formed between the underlying layer and the end face of the tunnel barrier layer on the air bearing surface side to be in contact with the end face of the tunnel barrier layer.
摘要:
A magnetic head has a base, and a magneto-resistive device supported by the base. The magneto-resistive device includes a magneto-resistive layer formed on one surface side of the base, and a first film. The first film is formed to be in contact with an effective region effectively involved in detection of magnetism in the magneto-resistive layer on both sides or one side of the effective region in a track width direction without overlapping with the effective region. The track width direction is substantially parallel to a film surface of the magneto-resistive layer. The first film is a single-layer film or a multiple-layer film. The first film includes a soft magnetic layer which does not form part of a layer for applying a biasing magnetic field to the free layer. The soft magnetic layer contributes to a reduction in side reading.
