Abstract: A thin film magnetic head includes a lower magnetic pole, an upper magnetic pole provided so as to face the lower magnetic pole, and a magnetic gap layer provided between the lower magnetic pole and the upper magnetic pole. The upper magnetic pole constitutes a first magnetic layer formed on a side facing the magnetic gap layer by means of sputtering and a second magnetic layer formed on the first magnetic layer by means of plating, in which the saturation magnetic flux density of the first magnetic layer is set higher than that of the second magnetic layer. The thin film magnetic head composed as above is capable of generating a stronger magnetic field owing to its stably-formed magnetic core, thereby recording on a high-coercivity medium and high-density recording are made possible.

Abstract: A leaking magnetic flux from a taper portion is canceled by utilizing an eddy current loss by using a magnetic head having a structure wherein at least a part of a magnetic pole constituting a magnetic path through a recording gap is sandwiched by conductive materials with respect to a track width direction, and a write blur quantity can be thus reduced. Further, magnetic saturation can be prevented by limiting a volume decrease at the distal end portion of the magnetic pole when the track width is reduced. Accordingly, the present invention can prevent magnetic saturation of the distal end portion of the magnetic pole resulting from the reduction of the width of the track of the recording head, can accomplish narrow-track recording by the recording head to a recording medium having high-coercive force and can reduce write blur.

The thin film magnetic head, in which a gap film of a recording head and a magnetic film in contact with the gap film have the same track width, includes an upper magnetic film of the recording head and an upper shield film of a magnetic resistive film, each having a width wider than the track width, and a cross section parallel to the air bearing surface of the upper magnetic film is reduced at a position less than a gap depth from the air bearing surface.
