2. Description of the Related Art In order to improve the recording density, it is necessary to increase the coercive force of the magnetic recording medium and narrow the gap of the magnetic head in accordance with the recording wavelength. However, in order to magnetize the high coercive force medium, it is necessary to generate a strong magnetic field,
In a narrow gap head, the magnetic saturation of the magnetic film in contact with the gap determines the upper limit of the magnetic field that can be generated, so that sufficient recording cannot be performed.

An example of this head structure is shown in FIGS. A high saturation magnetic flux density material for suppressing head saturation is arranged in the gap.

In the above prior art, a magnetic film having a high saturation magnetic flux density is used above the lower magnetic film and below the upper magnetic film as a means for improving the recording density. It is difficult to magnetize a high coercive force medium of 1800 oe or more, which corresponds to the further improvement of the recording density.

Further, since the material having a high saturation magnetic flux density has a low magnetic permeability, the magnetic gap at the tip of the gap appears to be widened, and the reproduction efficiency is lowered due to the increase in the magnetic resistance due to the low magnetic permeability, so that the reproduction output is low.

In the thin film magnetic head, at least one of the magnetic poles is formed by laminating the high permeability magnetic film 5, the high saturation magnetic flux density magnetic film 6 and the low saturation magnetic flux density magnetic film 7 in this order. The film is arranged on the magnetic gap side. The magnetic field generated at the time of recording saturates the low saturation magnetic flux density magnetism, and its magnetic permeability has a value similar to that of air. That is, the recording gap length is effectively expanded and a strong magnetic field can be generated. This effective recording gap length is a value obtained by adding the magnetic gap 3 made of a non-magnetic film and the low saturation magnetic flux density magnetic film 7. Further, since the high saturation magnetic flux density magnetic film 6 does not reach saturation, a strong and steep magnetic field distribution can be obtained.

FIG. 5 compares the calculation results of the magnetic field distribution of the conventional head of the type of FIG. 3 and the head of the present invention shown in FIG.

FIG. 8 shows the calculation result of the relationship between the reproduction gap length and the half width. In the case of self-recording / reproducing, it can be seen that when the gap length is narrowed, the half width becomes narrower, which is suitable for high density recording. Also, when the recording gap length is fixed at 0.4 μm, the values are almost the same, which indicates that the reproducing characteristic is determined by the reproducing gap length.

The head of the present invention has a narrower half-width and a larger output than the conventional head having a gap length of 0.3 μm, and has a low saturation magnetic flux density and a high magnetic permeability. That is, the head of the present invention operates as a head of 0.4 μm at the time of recording and 0.3 μm at the time of reproducing, and because the magnetic film in contact with the gap film has a high magnetic permeability, the waveform is steeper and has a higher output than the conventional head.

Further, since the crystal structures of the respective magnetic films are similar, CoFeNi on NiFe having a good underlying film quality grows epitaxially, and NiFe on it also grows similarly, so that it has a crystal structure. Moreover, it is also magnetically very stable, and noise such as wiggle or popcorn noise does not occur. In the two-layer structure seen in the conventional example, the underlayer is a high saturation magnetic flux density magnetic film, and generally the magnetic anisotropy is strong, so that the film quality is deteriorated and the reproduction output is decreased. Therefore, this structure is excellent in terms of magnetic recording and crystal structure.

These magnetic films have the same effect by the sputtering method and the plating method.
