Abstract

PURPOSE:To produce the magnetic head having excellet recording efficiency at a good yield by forming a thin film for preventing the reaction of the film of a high-saturation magnetic flux density material and ferrite from a ferrite side and an Fe film in this order at the boundary between both. CONSTITUTION:The head of an MIG type is formed by using the thin film 1 of a 'SENDUST(R)' alloy near the gap and using the ferrite 2 for the magnetic paths exclusive of the gap. The Ir film 4 and the Fe film 5 are formed at the boundary between both. An alloy film consisting of one kind or >=2 kinds of Ru, Rh, Pd, Ag, Ta, W, Re, Os, Pt, and Au may be used in place of Ir in this case. The thickness of the film 4 is specified to 20 to 400Angstrom and the thickness of the film 5 to 20 to 2,000Angstrom . The generation of the oxygen depletion layer of the ferrite 2 and the reaction layer of the ferrite and metal is prevented by forming such antireaction layer. While the film 4 itself is nonmagnetic, the film thickness is extremely small and, therefore, this film does not substantially act as a gap.

2. Description of the Related Art It is generally known that for high-density magnetic recording and reproduction, the coercive force of the recording medium can be increased, and the saturation magnetic flux density of the magnetic head can be increased. Ferrite material, which is currently the mainstream material for magnetic heads, has a saturation magnetic flux density of about 5000 Gauss, and 1
When used with a metal tape that exhibits a high coercive force of 0000e or more, magnetic saturation occurs and recording cannot be performed sufficiently.Therefore, magnetic heads using sendust alloy films or Co-based amorphous films, etc., which have a higher saturation magnetic flux density than ferrite materials, are used. It is being put into practical use. As shown in FIG. 2, there is a magnetic head of the MIG type in which the main core is made of ferrite 2 and only the area near the gap is made of 8M1, a high saturation magnetic flux density material. This type of head has a problem in that a reaction occurs at the boundary between a thin film of high saturation magnetic flux density material, such as a sendust film, and ferrite, so that spurious signals are generated from this part. (for example,
Journal of the Japanese Society of Applied Magnetics, Volume 11, No. 2, 1987,
Pages 105-108) Problems to be Solved by the Invention In the MIG head, there is a magnetically extremely deteriorated layer at the boundary between the ferrite and the high saturation magnetic flux density material film.

This magnetic deterioration layer includes an oxygen-deficient layer of ferrite that is formed as a result of an oxidation-reduction reaction at the boundary between the two during the glass fusing process (heat treatment) in the manufacturing process of the magnetic head, a reaction layer of ferrite and metal material, and a reaction layer of ferrite and metal material. It is thought that the soft magnetic properties deteriorate during the initial formation in the film forming process (sputtering, etc.).

The reason why the minimum value is reached when there are 50 people is because of the relationship between the gap length and the signal output.■ Since ``is non-magnetic, as this film thickness increases, the signal from this part increases, which means that spurious signals are generated. On the other hand, as the film thickness becomes smaller, the reaction between the ferrite and the sendust film cannot be sufficiently suppressed, and the false signal becomes larger.The minimum of these effects is 50 people.
