METHOD FOR FORMING TRANSDUCING HEAD HAVING MAGNETIC RECORDING ELEMENT, AND MAGNETIC RECORDING ELEMENT FOR THE TRANSDUCING HEAD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for regulating thickness of a front shield, in a perpendicular recording transducing head.;SOLUTION: A method for forming the transducing head 40 having a magnetic recording element includes: a step for forming a pedestal 48 in the vicinity of a recording pole 42 and a gap layer 46; a step for depositing a front shield 56 on the pedestal; a step for etching the front shield; and a step for depositing a backfill layer 50 on the front shield after etching. The front shield has controlled thickness upon etching.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
