Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a magnetoresistance head having at least one sense region formed in a stripe region, comprising the steps of:forming a multilayered film constituting a magnetoresistance device on an insulating nonmagnetic layer;forming a first film formed of organic substance on said multilayered film;forming a second film formed of inorganic substance on said first film;forming opening portions in predetermined regions on both sides of said stripe region by patterning said second film so that said stripe region is sandwiched by said opening portions;forming a pattern of said first film edges by cutting inwardly into said first film edges from edges of said second film patterns while removing said first film beneath said second film in said sense region of said stripe region;forming a thin film on said second film and on said multilayered film beneath said opening; andpatterning said thin film by peeling off said thin film with said second film.
