  • Publication number: 20080043377
    Abstract: The magnetic head is capable of stabilizing arrangement of magnetic domains in a shield layer of a read-head, preventing variation of characteristics of the read-element and improving reliability. The magnetic head comprises the read-head, in which the read-element is magnetic-shielded by a shield layer. A step-shaped section is formed in a base layer, on which the shield layer is formed, and the step-shaped section corresponds to a border of at least one of domain areas, which are defined by desired magnetic domains to be formed in the shield layer after a magnetizing process.
