Patent ID: 7509730

Claim:
A method for providing topographical features in an inductive head structure, comprising: providing an insulation layer over a magnetic material; forming a trench for a portion of a single turn of a coil having at least one turn by forming a first length of the trench in the insulation layer for forming therein a first portion of the single turn of the coil in a confined area proximate a yoke region and by forming, in the insulation layer, a second length of the trench extending away from the first length of the trench and the yoke region by forming a second length of parallel trenches for forming therein a second portion of multiple wires in parallel extending from the same single turn of the coil in a nonconfined area, and depositing a metal into the first length of the trench and the second length of the trench to form the first portion of the single turn of the coil and the second portion of the multiple wires in parallel of the coil.
