Abstract

PURPOSE:To permit easy production by forming a 1st Co-Ti-Nb alloy layer having high saturation magnetic flux density and contg. Ti at a low ratio on one of the butt surfaces in a gap part, then forming a 2nd Co-Ti-Nb alloy layer having low saturation magnetic flux density and contg. Ti at the ratio higher than in the 1st layer thereon. CONSTITUTION:The magnetic Co-Ti-Nb alloy layers 11 contg. Ti at a low ratio are formed on the surfaces in the gap part of a yoke 10 consisting of Mn-Zn single crystal ferrite and the magnetic Co-Ti-Nb alloy layers 12 contg. Ti at the higher ratio are formed thereon. An SiO2 gap material is used for the gap part 13. These magnetic layers are formed by an RF magnetron sputtering method. The magnetic layers 12 of low saturation magnetic flux density to change the effective gap are formed of the Co-Ti-Nb alloy contg. Ti at the higher ratio and the magnetic layers 11 of high saturation magnetic flux density are formed of the Co-Ti-Nb alloy contg. Ti at the lower ratio extremely analogous thereto; therefore, these layers are easily producible by a sputtering method necessitating mere changing-over of targets. Since the magnetic permeabilities of the two magnetic layers exhibit nearly the same high values, the magnetic head having good characteristics is constituted.

To solve this problem, a recording/reproducing magnetic head with a variable gap has been proposed (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 80-808).
No. 6310'J), that is, a magnetic head with a structure in which a magnetic layer with a saturation magnetic flux density lower than that of the head body is inserted into the gap of the RA head, and this magnetic layer is strong against the large magnetic flux applied during recording. The magnetic layer is saturated, thereby effectively operating as a magnetic head with a large gap length, and the magnetic flux applied from a recording medium such as a la% disk during playback does not saturate this magnetic layer, thereby allowing a small gap length. The magnetic head is operated as a magnetic head having the following characteristics. This variable gap magnetic head is excellent in that it has characteristics equivalent to two magnetic heads dedicated to recording and reproduction.

Co-T with a small Ti content which closely approximates this
Since it is made of an i-Nb alloy, it can be easily manufactured by sputtering by simply changing the target. Furthermore, since the magnetic permeabilities of both magnetic layers exhibit almost the same high values, a magnetic head with good characteristics can be constructed.
