  • Patent number: 8790523
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a magnetic head, includes forming, on a non-magnetic film, a main magnetic pole film with a body portion and a write magnetic pole portion continuous with the body portion, and etching the non-magnetic film such that an undercut is formed around the body portion and beneath the write magnetic pole portion. The undercut penetrates beneath the write magnetic pole portion in a track width direction. The method includes wet etching the non-magnetic film beneath the main magnetic pole film at the undercut, the undercut being at least partially filled with an organic filler. The method also includes, after removal of the organic filler, covering at least both sides of the write magnetic pole portion with a magnetic gap film, and forming a write shield film adjacent to the magnetic gap film. The undercut forms a hollow in the non-magnetic film underlying the write magnetic pole portion.

The recording magnetic pole film is disposed on a plane crossing the air bearing surface over the slider substrate and has a large-width portion and a small-width portion continuously arranged in the named order toward the air bearing surface. The small-width portion has a smaller width than the large-width portion. Of the large-width portion and the small-width portion, at least the small-width portion has a first portion and a second portion. The second portion is continuous with an upper end of the first portion and has both side faces inclined in such a direction as to increase the width. An external angle of the first portion formed by a plane parallel to a bottom face and the side face is larger than an external angle of the second portion formed by a plane parallel to the bottom face and the side face.
