Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent corrosion of a coil of the thin-film head and to improve the accuracy of a track width by forming the coil of a corrosion resistant conductor and forming the insulating film of the rear surface of a coil of an inorg. material. CONSTITUTION:The thin-film conductor coil 2 is formed of the corrosion resistant conductor. Magnetic fluxes are generated from the track width 3 in the front end part of magnetic cores 1, 1' having a magnetic gap 11 and a gap depth 12 and signals are recorded on a recording medium when signal currents are passed to the coil 2 wound on the magnetic cores 1, 1'. On the other hand, the signals recorded in the above-mentioned stage are reproduced as signals by the coil 2 which detects the change in the magnetic fluxes from the recording medium via the track width 3 in the front end part of the magnetic cores 1, 1'. The coil of the thin-film magnetic head is formed of the corrosion resistant conductor in this case, by which the corrosion of the coil is obviated even if moisture permeation arises. The regulation of the track width to the extremely small width with high accuracy is possible in this way.
