Abstract

L'invention concerne une tête magnétique d'écriture par induction à couche mince comportant une couche (28) magnétique supérieure et une couche (29) magnétique inférieure. Une couche (39) d'entrefer est formée dans la pointe de la tête magnétique entre les petits pôles sous-magnétiques (35, 36) supérieur et inférieur étroits. Le fait de réduire la forme comprenant la longueur (GD) verticale de la surface flottante du pôle sous-magnétique supérieur se traduit par un affaiblissement du champ magnétique généré autour du bord (28a) de la couche magnétique supérieure surplombant le pôle sous-magnétique supérieur dans le sens de la largeur de la piste d'enregistrement. Du fait de cet affaiblissement, la largeur de la piste d'enregistrement est réduite, et le flou d'enregistrement disparaît est supprimé, ce qui permet d'obtenir une tête magnétique d'écriture par induction à couche mince dotée de bonnes caractéristiques de champ magnétique, et permettant donc d'améliorer la densité d'enregistrement de la surface.
