本発明は、薄膜磁気ヘッドに係り、特に、磁気ヘッドの
構造に関する。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a thin film magnetic head, and particularly to the structure of a magnetic head.
磁気ディスク装置は、記録密度を向上させるため、トラ
ック密度を上げる傾向にある。このため。In magnetic disk drives, there is a tendency to increase track density in order to improve recording density. For this reason.

２２２０６号公報に開示がある。On a magnetic disk that stores information, the distance between adjacent tracks becomes narrower, and when a magnetic head reproduces information from one track, information from the adjacent track is mixed in and reproduced at the same time. In other words, crosstalk occurs. One way to solve this problem is to
This is disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 22206.

ド先端部は、より微細化する。このため、磁気ヘッド先
端に、磁気ヘッドと接触しない磁性薄膜を形成するには
、より高精度なプロセス技術が必要となる。The above-mentioned conventional technique is a method in which a magnetic thin film for shielding is formed near both ends of the tip of a magnetic head. However, the magnetic circuit formed by the adjacent tracks and the magnetic thin film for shielding has low efficiency as a magnetic circuit because there is no return path made of magnetic material. Furthermore, as the track density increases, the tip of the magnetic head becomes finer. Therefore, more precise process technology is required to form a magnetic thin film at the tip of the magnetic head that does not come into contact with the magnetic head.
本発明の目的は、高トラック密度、狭トラツク幅に適し
た磁気ヘッドを提供することにある。An object of the present invention is to provide a magnetic head suitable for high track density and narrow track width.
上記目的は、磁気ヘッドの先端の両端近傍に擬似磁気ヘ
ッドを配置することにより達成される。The above object is achieved by arranging pseudo magnetic heads near both ends of the tip of the magnetic head.

気ヘッドをバイパスして隣接トランクにもどる。これに
より、磁気ヘッドの隣接トラックとのクロストークが低
減される。Pseudo magnetic heads placed near both ends of the tip of the magnetic head absorb magnetic flux generated from adjacent tracks. That is, the adjacent track and the pseudo magnetic head form one magnetic circuit, and the magnetic flux generated from the adjacent track bypasses the pseudo magnetic head and returns to the adjacent trunk. This reduces crosstalk between the magnetic head and adjacent tracks.
また、擬似磁気ヘッドと磁気ヘッドを形成している磁性
薄膜の一部を共通とすることもできる。Furthermore, a part of the magnetic thin film forming the pseudo magnetic head and the magnetic head can be made common.
共通とした磁性薄膜は、磁気ヘッド先端部でトラック幅
相当の微細な形状にする必要がなくなり、磁気ヘッド製
造における形状の精度を低減できる。The common magnetic thin film eliminates the need to form a fine shape equivalent to the track width at the tip of the magnetic head, and can reduce the precision of the shape in manufacturing the magnetic head.

The upper magnetic layer 5 constitutes a magnetic head, and the lower magnetic layer 2. Magnetic gap 4. The pseudo upper magnetic layer 6 constitutes a pseudo magnetic head. FIG. 2 is a sectional view of the tip of the magnetic head shown in FIG. 1. Upper magnetic layer 5
The distance between the upper magnetic layer and the pseudo upper magnetic layer 6 is set to be larger than the thickness a of the magnetic gap 4.
本実施例は、磁気ヘッドと、擬似磁気ヘッドの磁性層の
一部、すなわち、下部磁性層２を共通とした例である。This embodiment is an example in which the magnetic head and a part of the magnetic layer of the pseudo-magnetic head, that is, the lower magnetic layer 2, are common.
上部磁性層５と擬似下部磁性層６は、同時に形成しても

堆積して（ｂ）、中央部のみを除去する（ｃ）ことで、
擬似上部磁性層６を形成することができる。The upper magnetic layer 5 and the pseudo lower magnetic layer 6 may be formed at the same time, but this is not necessarily possible when the width C of the upper magnetic layer 2 is small and the stepped portion 7 of the upper magnetic layer 5 is large. In this case, as shown in FIG. 3, after forming the upper magnetic layer 5 (a), a non-magnetic insulating layer 8 is deposited, and a magnetic layer 9 is deposited on top of this (b). By removing (c),
A pseudo upper magnetic layer 6 can be formed.

際の状態を表わしている。Next, regarding the operation of the magnetic head shown in FIG.
This will be explained using figures. FIG. 4 shows the state in which the magnetic head shown in FIG. 1 is reproducing the information track 11 of the magnetic disk 10.

第５図を用いて説明する。At this time, the pseudo magnetic head composed of the lower magnetic layer 2 and the pseudo upper magnetic layer 6 forms a magnetic circuit, and the magnetic flux 13 generated from the adjacent track 12 is closed. The effect of the pseudo upper magnetic layer 6 will be explained using FIG. 5.
第５図は、第４図のｖ−■矢視断面を表わし、（イ）は

性層６がある場合を表わす。FIG. 5 shows a cross section taken along the line v--■ in FIG. 4, and (a) shows the case where the pseudo upper magnetic layer 6 is not present, and (b) shows the case where the pseudo upper magnetic layer 6 is present.

る。In the case of Fig. 5 (a), the magnetic flux 1 emitted from the adjacent track 12
3 passes through the lower magnetic material, interlinks with the coil 3, and then returns through the air or through the upper magnetic layer 2. Therefore, the magnetic flux 13 interlinked with the coil 3 is mixed into the reproduced signal.

。このため、コイル３に鎖交する磁束１３の再生信号へ
の混入が大きく低減される。However, in the case of FIG. 5B, due to the presence of the pseudo magnetic layer 6, the magnetic flux 13 emitted from the adjacent track 12 returns through the magnetic circuit consisting of the lower magnetic layer 2 and the upper pseudo magnetic layer 6. Therefore, the mixing of the magnetic flux 13 interlinking with the coil 3 into the reproduced signal is greatly reduced.
本実施例によれば、磁気ヘッド先端の両端に配置された
擬似磁気ヘッドにより、隣接トラック１２の情報の混入
が大きく低減できる効果がある。According to this embodiment, the pseudo magnetic heads placed at both ends of the tip of the magnetic head have the effect of greatly reducing the mixing of information from adjacent tracks 12.

ドの製造工程の簡易化を図る効果もある。Further, the track width of the magnetic head shown in FIG. 1 is determined only by the width C of the upper magnetic layer 5 shown in FIG. 2, and does not depend on the shape of the lower magnetic layer 2. Therefore, including the method for forming the magnetic head shown in FIG. 3, it is only necessary to form the upper magnetic layer 5 with high precision, which has the effect of simplifying the manufacturing process of a magnetic head with a particularly narrow track width. .
また、下部磁性層２を上部磁性層５の幅よりも十分広く
なし得るので、コイル３等を下部磁性層２上の平坦な部

On the other hand, if a pseudo magnetic head is provided, the information on the adjacent track 12 will be mixed in by 10% to 33%.
%, which is 1% to 3% compared to the output of the reproduced signal. This is a sufficiently reduced amount for reproduction of digital magnetic recording.
