Abstract

PURPOSE:To eliminate the recesses formed on the surface of a magnetic layer and improve permeability by forming a thin film coil of a conductor and a pattern of an insulated material approximately to each other on an insulated layer of a magnetic substrate and then forming a magnetic layer on said insulated layer via a photoresist layer. CONSTITUTION:A thin film coil 3 and a projecting pattern 7 are formed approximately to each other by a fine etching on an insulated layer 2 of a ferromagnetic substrate 1 having high permeability. Then an insulated layer 4 and a photoresist 5 are formed on the those coil 3 and pattern 7. A magnetic layer 6 is formed on the flat layer 4. A flat surface is secured on the substrate 1 because the coil 3 and the pattern 7 are approximate to each other. Thus, it is possible to flatten the upper surface of the layer 6 to eliminate deterioration of the permeability and to improve the writing efficiency with a thin film magnetic head.

It is possible to achieve flattening by optimizing the curing temperature and spin code conditions. If etching is performed on the shape shown in FIG. 1d, the shape shown in FIG. 1e will be obtained. Note that an ion beam milling device was used for etching. The upper surface shape of the photorest 6 in No. 1121d is the same as 1. In order to hold and finish into a predetermined shape, conditions must be set such that the etching rates of the photoresist 5 and the coil insulating layer 4 are constant, that is, conditions such as the sample angle of the beam.

Figure 3 shows the mining rate characteristics. In this case, when the sample angle is 75 degrees, the milling rate of S z 02 and the negative resist are constant. Therefore, under these conditions, milling is carried out to the shape shown in FIG. 1e. Since all of the photoresist 5 is removed by milling, there is no need to remove it again. In FIG. 1e, the thin film coil insulating layer 4
The top surface of is flattened. When a magnetic layer 6 is formed on this thin film coil insulating layer 4, a thin film magnetic head having the magnetic layer 6 whose upper surface is flat as shown in FIG. 1F is manufactured. Therefore, the magnetic flux for recording and reproduction flows easily without deterioration of magnetic permeability, and it is possible to improve the writing efficiency.

Effects of the Invention As described above, the method for manufacturing a thin film magnetic head of the present invention provides a method for manufacturing a thin film magnetic head with K, for example, 310, so as to be located in the recess between the thin film coil conductors.
By forming convex ζ turns made of an insulating material such as No. 2, and reducing the distance between the recesses formed between the thin film coil conductors, it is possible to make the substrate surface substantially flat. This means that the grooves on the top surface of the thin-film coil insulating layer formed on top of the thin-film coil can be made smaller, and when final planarization is performed using photoresist, the top surface becomes flat and magnetic. It is possible to realize a thin-film magnetic head that dramatically improves writing efficiency without deterioration of magnetic permeability.
