    摘要: A method for producing a thin film magnetic head including a magnetoresistive effect element (MR element) that has a magnetic sensor multi-layered film with a polygonal shape such that a vertex angle faces an air bearing surface (ABS) and a tip of the vertex angle is cut when the magnetic sensor multi-layered film is viewed from an X-Y plane that is parallel to a plane of a lower shield electrode layer includes a step for stopping a lapping process by using a measurement point in which a resistance value is steeply increased while the lapping face is gradually approaching the vertex angle of polygonal shape by lapping from the ABS side. Therefore, an excellent effect in which an ultra narrow track width that exceeds limits of photolithography technology can be securely and constantly formed is obtained.

    摘要: The thin-film magnetic head of the invention comprises a magneto-resistive effect device including a multilayer film and a bias mechanism portion including a bias magnetic field-applying layer formed on each widthwise end of the multilayer film. When the magneto-resistive effective device including a multilayer film and the bias mechanism portion are viewed in plane on their own, the uppermost extremity of the rear end of the magneto-resistive effect device and the uppermost extremity of the rear end of the bias mechanism portion lie at substantially the same depth-wise position, and the rear slant of the bias mechanism portion is gentler in gradient than the rear slat of the magneto-resistive effect device. It is thus possible just only to facilitate the fabrication of the device but also to achieve several advantages of being a lower rate of occurrence of noise, higher reliability and higher yields.

    摘要: The estimation method of the invention for estimating the deteriorations of a magneto-resistive effect device by heat shocks involves applying heat shocks by laser irradiation to a structure including a thin-film magnetic head comprising a magneto-resistive effect device to propagate them to the magneto-resistive effect device, thereby causing the deteriorations of the magneto-resistive effect device. Thus, (1) the deterioration mode phenomenon of “local overheating plus vibration” can be imitated in a simple yet very approximate state so that a device likely to undergo characteristics deteriorations due to the thermal asperity problem can be detected early at an initial fabrication process stage, and (2) what specifications a head device structure less likely to offer the thermal asperity problem is in can be judged at a product development stage.
