PURPOSE:To improve the recording efficiency as well as the reproducing function with a composite thin film magnetic head, by incorporating a magneto- resistance effect element into a part where a lower thin film magnetic pole is set opposite to a magnetic recording medium. CONSTITUTION:A lower thin film magnetic pole 2 is formed on a nonmagnetic substrate 1 to together with an insulated player 3, and a magneto-resistance effect element 4 is formed on the layer 3 by a vapor depositing film formation process and a chemical etching process. Then an insulated layer 5 is formed on the element 4 and the layer 3 is removed. The electrode 2 is formed also on the layer 3. Then an insulated layer 6 is formed on the electrode 2, and a resist 10 is formed on the layer 6. A coil Cu8 is formed on the resist 10 and furthermore the resist 10 is formed on the coil 8. Then an upper thin film magnetic pole 7 is formed on the resist 10, and a protection film of Al2O3 is formed on the electrode 7. Thus a composite thin film magnetic head is obtained through the cutting, working, polishing and assembling processes respectively.

Detailed Description of the Invention (Industrial Field of Application) 0 Regarding Thin Film Magnetic Heads Used in Magnetic Disk Devices, Magnetic Tape Devices, 70-Tubi Disk Devices, etc. (Prior Art and Problems thereof) In recent years, magnetic disk devices have become highly dense. In order to achieve high transfer rates, the transfer rate has been steadily improving.
in? Recently, thin-film magnetic heads with small ductance have been used, and devices with small disk diameters (5 inches, 3 inches, etc.) are also being used. Since the relative speed of the head becomes small, when a thin film magnetic head is used, the reproduction output becomes very small.
So-called MR heads that use magnetoresistive elements found in NiFe alloys and N1CE alloys are considered indispensable due to their high reproduction efficiency.On the other hand, MR heads only have a reproduction function, so they do not require a recording head. When recording and reproducing are performed using separate heads, azimuth loss between the recording, decoding, and reproducing heads becomes apparent during high-density recording, resulting in the disadvantage that high-density recording cannot be achieved. Therefore, it is necessary to integrate the recording head and the reproducing head.

In FIG. 3, a magnetoresistive effect element part 35 is formed on the part of the upper thin film magnetic pole 32 where the film thickness is reduced in the part facing the magnetic recording medium with an insulating layer 34t interposed therebetween, and further the magnetoresistive effect element part 35 In some cases, a magnetic shield is added on top of the . In such a configuration, the recording magnetic field of the induction source thin film magnetic head is not steep due to the presence of the magnetoresistive element 35 and the magnetic shield layer, and the recording efficiency is significantly reduced. In order to form an element, it is necessary to make the surface roughness of the thin part of the upper thin film magnetic pole 32 extremely small, but in the configuration shown in FIG. This was extremely difficult due to process technology.
