Thin-film magnetic head having an electrically conducting plating base on a magnetic carrier

摘要

A thin-film magnetic head is situated on a carrier (2) on which an electrically conducting plating-base (2) is provided on which by electroplating flux conductors and a magnetically insulating layer (8) are grown. This provides a planar structure on which an electrically insulating layer and a magneto-resistance element are provided. The plating-base also constitutes the gap layer.
