Problems solved by technology

On the other hand, current photolithography has an error of about 0.06 microns
Accordingly, as the MR film becomes finer, the alignment of the MR film with the contact hole becomes difficult in the conventional contact hole process.
On the other hand, the stripping process also has problems such as poor contact due to a part of photoresist remaining after stripping.

Embodiment Construction

[0051] Some preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following description of the preferred embodiment, substantially the same parts are denoted by the same reference numerals. see figure 1 , which shows a perspective view of the magnetoresistive head 10 according to the first preferred embodiment of the present invention. exist figure 1 , the upper and lower magnetic shields are not shown. Figure 12 shows the lower electrode terminal formed of copper or a combination of copper and gold. The lower electrode terminal 12 has the figure 1 The first width in the X direction shown in and the figure 1 The first height in the Y direction described in .

[0052] A magnetoresistive film (MR film) 14 is formed on the lower electrode terminal 12 . The MR thin film 14 has a second width smaller than the first width in the X direction and has a height equal to the first height in the Y direction. A pair o...

Abstract

A magnetoresistive head includes a first magnetic shield, a first electrode terminal provided on the first magnetic shield and having a first width or height, and a magnetoresistive film provided on the first electrode terminal and having a second width or height less than or equal to the first width or height. The magnetoresistive head further includes a second electrode terminal provided on the magnetoresistive film and having a third width or height less than or equal to the second width or height, and a second magnetic shield provided on the second electrode terminal. Preferably, the magnetoresistive head further includes a plug electrode for connecting the second electrode terminal to the second magnetic shield, and a plug side wall protective insulating film for covering a side wall of the plug electrode.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a magnetoresistive head for use in magnetic recording devices such as disk drives and tape drives. Background technique [0002] With the reduction in size of disk drives and the increase in recording density in recent years, the flying height of the head slider has become smaller, and it is necessary to achieve contact recording / reproduction so that the head slider is very small above the recording medium Float at a height of 100,000, or come into contact with the recording medium. In addition, the conventional magnetic induction head has a disadvantage such that its reproduction output decreases as the peripheral velocity (relative speed between the head and the medium) of the magnetic disk as the recording medium decreases due to the reduction of the diameter of the magnetic disk, for example. In order to solve this disadvantage, a magnetoresistive head (MR head) whose reproduction output does not depend on the peri...
