Abstract

PURPOSE:To decrease wiring resistance and to improve the recording efficiency and reproduction efficiency of a magnetic head by using copper or copper alloy for a thin film coil. CONSTITUTION:A thin film coil circuit 6 for flowing recording current is spirally laminated on a lower magnetic material layer 1 consisting of ferrite or the like having soft magnetism by a means for forming thin film such as a method for depositing a thin film. A quartz glass layer 4 is laminated thereon to insulate the coil wiring of copper or copper alloy and to form a head gap 8 and an upper magnetic material layer 3 consisting of ''Permally'' or the like constituting an upper magnetic pole is formed thereon. A low melting glass layer 4 used for melt-sticking a protective plate and for filling the gap is formed atop the pole 3 and beneath the circuit 6. A protective film 5 formed of crystallized glass or the like is laminated on the uppermost and the thin film magnetic head is thus constituted.

Thin-film magnetic heads, such as the conventional technology, can drive at high frequencies, and because they are composed of thin films, they can be made smaller and more dense than bulk-type magnetic heads, so research into practical use has been active in recent years. is being carried out. Thin-film magnetic heads are also effective for multi-tracking magnetic heads for perpendicular magnetic recording, and this multi-tracking makes it possible to record and reproduce a large amount of information at the same time.

Usually, such a thin film magnetic head is constructed by laminating a wire circuit insulating layer, an upper magnetic layer, etc. on a magnetic substrate made of ferrite or the like using a thin film deposition method. In this case, the coil circuit of the thin film magnetic head is made of aluminum or aluminum.
Since it was composed of an alloy of 0% by weight or more, it had the following drawbacks.

In other words, annealing is normally performed to remove the distortion that occurs in the magnetic material part during the manufacturing process of the head. There is a problem that the insulating layers mutually diffuse into the lower insulating layers, increasing wiring resistance or causing wire breakage. Furthermore, sealing is usually performed after the thin film manufacturing process of the thin film magnetic head is completed.

In this sealing process, a plate member such as a ceramic plate, a glass plate, or a crystallized glass plate, which is an enveloping material, is used as a circuit protection member and a running support member for a magnetic recording medium.
This is done by thermally spraying a layer of glass material or the like. Due to the high temperature psychology that occurs during this sealing process, wire circuits made of aluminum or aluminum alloy diffuse into each other due to the high temperatures generated during sealing, causing problems similar to those described above. . In addition, if the thickness of the aluminum wiring layer is increased to, for example, 4 μm or more in order to reduce the wiring resistance, a phase transformation image will occur in the wiring aluminum member or aluminum alloy member at an annealing temperature of around 600', which will significantly reduce the process yield.
