Abstract:
A magnetic recording head includes an upper shield layer, a lower shield layer, a magnetoresistive film interposed between the upper shield layer and the lower shield layer, and a pair of leads electrically coupled to the magnetoresistive film, in which a pair of side shield layers constituted by portions of the upper shield layer is formed on both sides of the magnetoresistive film, and a spacing between each side shield layer and the magnetoresistive film is formed to be narrower than twice of a spacing between the upper shield layer and the lower shield layer, thereby a side reading amount can be made smaller than a conventional side reading value determined from the spacing between the upper and lower shield layers and a magnetic spacing between the head and a medium.

Abstract:
A magnetoresistive head has a magnetoresistive element including an antiferromagnetic layer, a second magnetic layer on the antiferromagnetic layer, a non-magnetic interlayer on the second magnetic layer, and a first magnetic layer on the non-magnetic interlayer. The first magnetic layer has at least one region at an end thereof which has a smaller saturation magnetization than the central part of the first magnetic layer. The end region has a width Xe (in the track width direction) defined by 0.08≦Xe/Twr≦0.2, where Twr denotes the track width. The magnetoresistive element is held between an upper shield and a lower shield. The effect of this construction is that the end regions of the first magnetic layer are more affected by the longitudinal bias field than the central part of the first magnetic layer. Consequently, the occurrence of magnetic domains is efficiently suppressed in the end regions of the first magnetic layer.

Abstract:
In a narrow magnetoresistive head having a magnetic domain control film comprising a single layer of magnetic film or magnetic films antiferromagnetically coupled by means of a nonmagnetic member, it has been found that the magnetic domain can be controlled with a smaller magnetization film thickness product than anticipated so far and the range is defined relative to the geometrical track width in the present invention. By defining the magnetization film thickness product of the magnetic domain control film within a prescribed range of the invention, a magnetic head having higher output than usual and having stable output with no hysteresis in the transfer curve and with no output fluctuation can be attained.
Abstract:
In a side shield structure employed to narrow the effective track, a noise caused by the side shield structure can be reduced. In one embodiment, the side shield is inclined with respect to the film plane to suppress the generation of a magnetic pole in the end portion of the side shield. To this end, the side face of a device is inclined at a desired angle. Further, a reproduction device is formed at two or more angles β1 and β2 to improve the track width accuracy.
