  • Patent number: 6198601
    Abstract: A magnetic head element has one or more rails formed on the surface thereof. Each rail is formed so as to have a tapered angle of 55-85°. To form such a rail, ion milling is conducted; the rail substrate used is allowed to have an inclination angle to 15-60° and is rotated; and there is used, as the ion milling gas, a fluorinated hydrocarbon (e.g., CH2FCF3) gas alone or a mixed gas of said fluorinated hydrocarbon gas and Ar, SF6 or the like. Accordingly, a magnetic head rail shape gives a small variation in flying height between magnetic bead and magnetic disc.

  • Patent number: 4604294
    Abstract: An organic thin film consisting essentially of an organic compound is formed on a substrate surface by vacuum vapor deposition by exposing the organic compound as a vapor source to a laser beam having an energy level corresponding to that of the chemical bond of the organic compound, thereby sputtering the organic compound onto a substrate surface in vacuum and forming the organic thin film thereon. When a light or radiation-sensitive organic compound is used as the vapor source, a light or radiation-sensitive resist film is formed. The thin film thus formed retains the original chemical structure of the vapor source, and has a good flatness. Resolvability of resist film is improved owing to the absence of pin holes and particulate matters. A resist film having a higher sensitivity and a better contrast is formed by heating the substrate during the vapor deposition.
