<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To attain high recording density of a magnetic disk device by reducing the magnetic spacing of a magnetic head slider. <P>SOLUTION: In a magnetic head slider having a reproducing head, a recording head and a heater, a contact surface in contact with a medium surface when an electric power is applied to the heater and step surfaces provided on the both sides of the contact surface through a step part 333 are arranged on a disk facing surface of an upper shield layer 322, a lower shield layer 323, a lower magnetic pole 315, a shielding layer 312 and an auxiliary magnetic pole 313. A cylindrical portion 33 is formed on the disk facing surface so that the contact surface of the upper shield layer, the lower shield layer, the lower magnetic pole, the shielding layer and the auxiliary magnetic pole is almost circular as a whole. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
