Verfahren zur Herstellung eines Dünnfilmmagnetkopfes

摘要

Method of manufacturing a thin-film magnetic head having at least one transducing element, in which the magnetic head is built up layer by layer. For a tape contact face to be formed a reference plane (29) corresponding to a tape contact face portion is detected by means of a plurality of markers (27A-27J) juxtaposed in a layer and extending transversely to the tape contact face portion, which markers have first end portions (27A1-27J1) pointing in one and the same direction and second, spatially separated end portions (27A2-27J2) pointing in an opposite direction, while adjacent second end portions are located at different distances from the reference plane. The markers are formed in such a way that the second end portions are inclined with respect to the reference plane, while juxtaposed second end portions adjoin each other steplessly. The tape contact face is formed by removing material.
