プ等の磁気媒体と摺接する摺接面である。FIG. 1 is a longitudinal cross-sectional view showing a conventional magnetoresistive magnetic head. In the figure, (1) is sapphire, A/20
.. - A substrate made of TiC or the like, (2) is a metal magnetic thin film such as permalloy or sendust, and (3) is an M having a magnetoresistive effect (hereinafter referred to as MR effect for simplicity) such as permalloy.
R-effect magnetic thin film, (4) is a resin adhesive layer such as epoxy resin, and (5) is a protective plate made of the same material as the substrate (1). Note that in FIG. 1, the portion indicated by the symbol (A) is a sliding surface that comes into sliding contact with a magnetic medium such as a magnetic tape.

記録された情報を再生することができる。In the so-called magnetic flux drawing type MR effect magnetic head having the above configuration, the magnetic flux from the magnetic medium slidingly in contact with the sliding contact surface (A) is introduced into the metal magnetic thin film (2), and a part of it is caused by the MR effect. It will cross the magnetic thin film (3). This magnetic flux changes the electrical resistance of the MR effect magnetic thin film (3), and by detecting the resistance change, information magnetically recorded on the magnetic medium can be reproduced.

ングプロセスも採用することができないものであった。By the way, in order to manufacture the conventional magnetic head, the thin film material constituting the magnetic head is sequentially laminated on the substrate (1) by sputtering, plating, etc. If the temperature is raised when bonding the plates (5) with an adhesive such as epoxy resin, the characteristics of the MR effect magnetic thin film (3) will deteriorate. There is a drawback that only adhesive can be used, and the wear resistance of the sliding surface (A) that comes into sliding contact with the magnetic medium cannot be improved. Further, for the same reason, a glass bonding process in which glass is melted and fused cannot be employed.
