摘要： A manufacturing method for a magnetic head includes the steps of: forming a structure on a lower shield, the structure including a lower gap, a main magnetic pole and first and second side gaps; forming first and second side shields; forming an upper gap; and forming an upper shield. In the step of forming the structure, an initial lower gap layer is formed on the lower shield, the initial lower gap layer including a pre-lower-gap portion, and two to-be-removed portions that are located on opposite sides of the pre-lower-gap portion. Then, a protrusion including the main magnetic pole and the first and second side gaps is formed on the pre-lower-gap portion. With the top surface of the protrusion covered with a mask, the initial lower gap layer is etched in part to thereby form the lower gap.

摘要： In a perpendicular magnetic write head manufacturing method a magnetic layer is formed on a substrate. On the magnetic layer, first and second nonmagnetic layers are formed with different materials. A mask pattern is formed on the second nonmagnetic layer, and the second nonmagnetic layer in a region not covered with the mask pattern is removed Thereby, the patterned second nonmagnetic layer is formed while leaving the first nonmagnetic layer. The mask pattern is removed and a milling process is selectively performed on the first nonmagnetic layer and the magnetic layer with the patterned second nonmagnetic layer as a mask to remove all of the first nonmagnetic layer in an exposed region and to dig down the magnetic layer in the exposed region, thereby forming a main magnetic pole layer having an inclined part whose thickness decreases with distance from an edge position of the patterned second nonmagnetic layer.

摘要： A method of manufacturing a perpendicular magnetic head having a writing element that writes magnetic information to a recording medium includes forming a main magnetic pole part generating a magnetic field on a substrate; removing at least a part of the substrate and a material existing at a circumference of the main magnetic pole part to expose an entire circumference of the main magnetic pole part at a surface that becomes an opposing medium surface (ABS) opposite to the recording medium; forming a shield gap film that is made of a nonmagnetic material so as to cover the entire circumference of the main magnetic pole part at least at the surface that becomes the ABS; and forming a shield layer so as to cover an entire circumference of the shield gap film at least at the surface that becomes the ABS.
