Abstract:
A method of fabricating a magnetic head, comprising the steps of:a) providing a substrate;b) forming a lower magnetic layer, having a portion serving as a lower pole and a portion serving as a lower magnetic core, on the substrate;c) forming a gap layer made of non-magnetic material on the lower magnetic layer;d) forming a first upper pole portion on the gap layer;e) forming a non-magnetic film over the first upper pole portion;f) removing the non-magnetic film to provide the first upper pole portion which is buried in the non-magnetic film and is coplanar to the non-magnetic film; andg) providing an upper magnetic layer, having a portion serving as a second upper pole portion and a portion serving as an upper magnetic core portion,wherein the second upper pole portion is magnetically connected to the first upper pole portion, and the first and second upper pole portions serve as an upper pole.
