  • Patent number: 5734534
    Abstract: A magnetic head is made by fixing together two head halves 9 and 39. Recesses 10 and 40 are formed in glass layers 4 and 34 on the substrates 1 and 31 respectively of the head halves, and spiral coil patterns 11 and 41 are formed in the recesses. Apart from their inner end portions 11a and 41a the coil patterns are covered by insulating protective films 23 and 53. A plurality of sloping surfaces 4b, 34b are formed on the glass layers 4 and 34 at the locations of the inner end portions of the coil patterns, whereby a plurality of projections 4a, 34a are formed. The angle of slope .theta. of the sloping surfaces is above 30.degree. and below 90.degree.. The coil patterns 11 and 41 comprise copper plating layers 19 and 39; because the coil pattern inner end portions lie on the projections 4a, 34a their surfaces are high and exposed at the surfaces of the insulating protective films 23, 53, and gold films 16 and 46 are formed thereon.

  • Patent number: 5585983
    Abstract: A magnetic head comprises a substrate, a soft magnetic thin film, whose magnetic permeability varies according to the intensity of an external magnetic field applied thereto, formed over the surface of the substrate, means for supplying a high-frequency current to the soft magnetic thin film, and means for applying a bias magnetic field to the soft magnetic thin film. The magnetic permeability of the soft magnetic thin film varies according to the variation of the intensity of the external magnetic field and hence the potential difference between the opposite ends of the soft magnetic thin film with respect to the direction of flow of the high-frequency current varies accordingly. The variation of the potential difference is detected for magnetic signal reading. The soft magnetic thin film is formed of a material having a large magnetic permeability, such as amorphous CO.sub.75 Ta.sub.11 Zr.sub.14.

  • Patent number: 5331491
    Abstract: A magnetic recording and reproducing head records a signal from and reproduces a signal from a magnetic recording medium having a perpendicularly magnetizable film. The magnetic recording and reproducing head includes a magnetic sensing section comprising a slender needle of a soft magnetic material, and an exciting coil wound around the slender needle for magnetizing the slender needle to record a signal on the magnetic recording medium. To reproduced the recorded signal, high-frequency electric energy is applied to the magnetic sensing section to produce a reflected wave, and a change in the reflected wave caused by a leakage magnetic field produced by a signal recorded on the magnetic recording medium is detected as representing the recorded signal.
