    Abstract: A matrix type magnetic recording/reading head made in integrated fashion, including an electrically non-conductive ceramic substrate having a first main face and a second main face, each provided with connection areas. The two areas of the two faces are interconnected in sets of two by internal connection elements. A layer with high magnetic permeability is deposited on the first face of the substrate. The substrate bears a first series of row conductors and a second series of column conductors intersecting the row conductors, each conductor being connected to a connection area of the first face. Pairs of magnetic poles are located substantially at the intersection of the row conductor and column conductors, the poles of each pair separated by a gap space and being magnetically coupled to the layer with high magnetic permeability in two opposite zones defined by the intersection of a row conductor and a column conductor.

    Abstract: A thin film magnetic head assembly is provided which includes a plurality of thin film heads situated atop a common substrate. An insulative main body is built up layer by layer on the substrate. A plurality of magnetic yokes exhibiting different geometries are situated on the substrate and within the main body. The magnetic yokes are built up layer by layer at the same time that the insulative main body is fabricated. A plurality of coil structures are situated within the main body and are magnetically coupled to respective magnetic yokes. The head assembly also includes a pedestal of insulative material situated atop the main body and exhibiting a lateral dimension less than that of the main body. The pedestal protrudes upwardly away from the main body and substrate. The magnetic yokes each include a pole piece pair situated atop the pedestal, each pole piece pair including first and second magnetic pole pieces. Each pole piece pair exhibits a different geometry than another pole piece pair. Each pole piece pair forms a head which is adapted to reading/writing a track on a magnetic medium, the tracks of which are compatible with the geometry of that pole piece pair.

    Abstract: The present invention is an integral magnetic head suspension and method for making the same. The integral suspension, with or without the head, contains integrated conductive circuits that have multiple cross overs for noise reduction. The suspension is fabricated completely on silicon (Si) wafers using semiconductor processes. A N+ silicon layer is disposed over a P- silicon wafer. The N+ silicon layer and the P- silicon wafer are thermally oxidized to generate a bottom silicon oxide layer opposite the N+ layer side of the wafer and a top silicon oxide layer on the N+ side of the wafer, and to drive the N+ silicon into the P- silicon wafer. A layer of polysilicon is disposed over the silicon oxide layer on top of the N+ silicon layer. One or more pairs of conductive traces having multiple cross-overs are fabricated on the layer of polysilicon. Optimally, a magnetic head is simultaneously fabricated on the suspension. The polysilicon layer is then patterned to define the head structure and suspension structure as one piece. Finally, the magnetic head and suspension are separated from the wafer by removing the first silicon oxide layer by a chemical etchant and the P- silicon wafer by selective etching. The head and suspension are released from the silicon wafer as a single structure using the above-described semiconductor processes. Accordingly, no grinding or cutting is used to define the dimensions of the head. Further, no processes are required to attach the head to the suspension and the suspension can be made from low mass materials such as silicon (Si) or Al.sub.2 O.sub.3.

    Abstract: A magnetic thin film head of the planar geometry type has a dielectric member located between facing ends of pole members in the gap region. The thickness of at least one of the pole members in the gap region is reduced by the dielectric member relative to the thickness of the remainder of the pole members. This dielectric member in the region of reduced thickness functions to increase the density of the magnetic flux in that region during recording, thereby improving the write capability of the head.
