。A perpendicular magnetic recording system using a cobalt-chromium alloy perpendicularly magnetized film as a recording medium is expected to be a system capable of achieving high recording density, and research and development is actively underway. The head that has been proposed as the highest performance head is the main pole-auxiliary pole type vertical head shown in FIG. This head consists of a main pole made of a soft magnetic thin film 1 and an auxiliary pole made of a coil 4 wound around a soft magnetic material 3. When a main pole-auxiliary pole type head is used, good perpendicular magnetic recording is possible due to the strong perpendicular magnetic field generated at the tip of the main pole, and the reproduction efficiency is not low. However, from a practical point of view, it is not possible to use a head with a structure that is divided into two parts on both sides of the recording medium. The reasons for this are: firstly, it is difficult to reduce costs because it is divided into two blocks; secondly, the position adjustment of the two 2nd VC head blocks is required, which requires a complicated adjustment process during assembly;
For example, it cannot be used in IC rigid disk memory devices, and the scope of use is limited. Therefore, it is considered that a practical head must have a one-piece structure. Conventional ring-type magnetic heads have high reproduction efficiency, but the perpendicular magnetic field is not strong, so they are basically not suitable for perpendicular magnetic recording.

生する磁界によりなされる。その様子を第3図に示す。In view of this situation, the present invention proposes a practical and high-performance perpendicular magnetic recording head. FIG. 2 shows an example of the structure of the magnetic head of the present invention. This head is manufactured using a thin film process and has high mass productivity. During recording, the core acts as the main magnetic field.
It is configured to function as a ring type head during playback. That is, for recording, a current is passed through a thin film coil 8 formed in a spiral shape, and a high magnetic permeability thin film M't,u,
12 are excited in the same direction and a magnetic field is generated from the end of the high magnetic permeability thin film 12. The situation is shown in Figure 3.

いる。The arrows in FIG. 3 indicate the direction of the magnetic field or magnetization. With respect to the head tip 19, the recording medium 18 moves to the right toward the plane of the paper, and recording is performed in the order of Cα' * [bl t lcl. As can be seen from FIG. The combined thin films 7 and 12 function as the main magnetic pole), and the perpendicular magnetic field is strong. Since the main magnetic pole in this case is thick, magnetic saturation of the core is less likely to occur, and escape of magnetic flux is small. Therefore, since the coil is a thin film coil, the recording efficiency is high due to the fact that the coil is located at the tip of the core. High permeability 1
1 plays a role in preventing Kona's magnetic saturation.

め、ターン数を増すためである。Coil 9. Since IO does not conduct current, there is no problem of heat generation, so it can be made small. Therefore, it is easy to increase the number of turns, and since the length of the magnetic path can be reduced, it is easy to increase the reproduction sensitivity. Gap part 13
By forming the gap thinly and reducing the gap length, high-density recording can be reproduced satisfactorily. Next, an outline of the manufacturing method will be explained. After forming the high magnetic permeability thin film 7 on the substrate 5 on which the protective film 6 has been formed, the coils 8 , 9 , and 10 are sequentially formed. Insulation J at this stage! 14, 15, 16, and 17 are formed to ensure electrical insulation of the coil. Next, gap part 1
form 3. Thereafter, high magnetic permeability thin films 11 and 12 are sequentially formed. Finally, a protective film 18 is formed to complete the thin film process. The head is completed by cutting the substrate, processing the shape, and polishing the tip. The reason why the recording coil 8 is spiral shaped in the head with 1 is to increase the coil area and prevent the temperature of the head from rising due to heat generation.
The reason why it was formed into a multilayer spiral shape was to make it compact and increase the number of turns.

実用性は高く本発明の意義は大きいものがある。As described above, by configuring the magnetic head of the present invention to change the recording and reproducing methods, it is possible to efficiently generate a strong perpendicular magnetic field, thereby enabling high-quality perpendicular recording. The high playback efficiency of the ring type head allows for excellent playback. Since this head is manufactured using a thin film process, it is easy to mass-produce and can be easily adapted to narrow tracks.It can also be used as a head for rigid disk devices, so it is extremely practical and the significance of the present invention is There is something big.
