摘要:
A thin film magnetic head is provided to reduce excess magnetostatic leakage field in order to generate a sufficient recording magnetic field. The pole end portion has a width to define a recording track width. The pole rear portion has one end which is magnetically connected with the pole end portion at or in the vicinity of an edge portion of an insulating film and defines a first flare point, the other end which is connected with the upper yoke portion and defines a second flare point, and both side edges in the track width direction which are inclined so that the width in the track width direction gradually increases from the second flare point toward the first flare point. The width of the pole end portion at the first flare point is smaller than the maximum width of the pole rear portion.

A thin-film magnetic head includes a lower magnetic layer, an upper magnetic layer, a recording gap layer, and a thin-film coil. The lower magnetic layer has a first magnetic pole tip layer, and a first yoke layer which is connected to the first magnetic pole tip layer. The first yoke layer has an extended part which is relatively thick and a reduced part which is relatively thin in the area in which the first yoke layer confronts the first magnetic pole tip layer, the extended part being positioned on the side of the air bearing surface. Further, the first magnetic pole tip layer is connected to the first yoke layer at the extended part, and is insulated from the first yoke layer at the reduced part.

The present invention is intended for a thin film magnetic head which can provide reduction in the excess magnetostatic leakage field even if the flare point is set near to the ABS in order to generate a sufficient recording magnetic field and which can assure stable overwrite characteristics even if there are variations in upper pole portion patterns. The pole end portion 223 has a width W11 to define a recording track width. The pole rear portion 222 has one end which is magnetically connected with the pole end portion 223 at or in the vicinity of an edge portion of an insulating film 273 and defines a first flare point FP1, the other end which is connected with the upper yoke portion 221 and defines a second flare point FP2, and both side edges in the track width direction which are inclined so that the width in the track width direction gradually increases from the second flare point FP2 toward the first flare point FP1. The width W11 of the pole end portion 223 at the first flare point FP1 is smaller than the maximum width W21 of the pole rear portion 222.

摘要:
A thin film magnetic head includes a main magnetic pole layer conducting a magnetic flux to the recording medium so that the recording medium an be magnetized in a direction orthogonal to a surface thereof; a return yoke layer disposed on a trailing side of the main magnetic pole layer; an intermediate protective layer partially disposed on a magnetic shield layer; and a thermal expansion suppressing layer having an edge located on the intermediate protective layer and being in contact with the return yoke layer in an area where the intermediate protective layer is not formed. If the thin film magnetic head is affected by ambient temperature environment, the thermal expansion suppressing layer suppresses the shift of the main magnetic pole layer and the return yoke layer toward the air bearing surface. This suppresses thermal protrusion from occurring on the thin film magnetic head due to ambient temperature environment.
