材との間で磁気ギャップを形成するようにしている。In such a magnetic head, for example, as shown in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 1-100714, most of the core is composed of a substrate made of an oxide magnetic material such as ferrite, and only a gap facing surface has a high level of sendust or the like. MIG heads using thin films of saturated magnetic flux density material are known. In this MIG head, at least one of the magnetic core halves is abutted with a pair of magnetic core halves composed of a substrate of an oxide magnetic material and a metal magnetic thin film, with a gap material layer such as SiO 2 interposed.
The magnetic field between the metal magnetic thin film of one magnetic core half body and the magnetic metal thin film of the other magnetic core half body or the oxide magnetic material facing each other, which are abutted by interposing a layer of a gap material such as SiO 2 I try to form a gap.

する方向からスパッタリングを行っている。The metal magnetic thin film is a gap facing surface of an oxide magnetic material (in the present specification, a surface facing each other when abutted against each other).
The film is formed by a vacuum thin film forming technique such as sputtering. At this time, since the crystalline magnetic film such as sendust was generally considered to have isotropic magnetic anisotropy, no special treatment was applied to the gap facing surface forming the metal magnetic film. Sputtering is performed from the direction directly facing the smooth gap facing surface.

における透磁率に改善の余地があるものであった。However, it has been verified from experimental results that the crystalline magnetic film of Sendust or the like actually exhibits remarkable magnetic anisotropy. For this reason,
Conventional magnetic heads that do not consider the magnetic anisotropy of crystalline magnetic films such as sendust cannot fully exhibit the characteristics of these metal magnetic films. That is, the conventional magnetic head has a high frequency band (up to about 20 MHz to 30 MHz).
There was room for improvement in the magnetic permeability.

る。In order to achieve the above object, according to the present invention, core halves each having a thin film of a ferromagnetic metal attached to the gap facing surfaces of the track width are made to face each other to form a gap between the thin films. In the magnetic head in which a coil window is formed between the thin films and winding is performed by using the coil window, a plurality of stripes in the direction orthogonal to the magnetic path are formed in the coil window, and the metal is formed on the stripe. A thin film is formed.

Therefore, the magnetic easy axis of the metal magnetic material film is formed along the stripe of the coil window formed in the direction orthogonal to the magnetic flux flowing through the metal magnetic material film such as sendust, and the high frequency characteristics are improved.
