PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a magnetic head for vertical recording, wherein a phenomenon in which a magnetic field enters from a main magnetic pole into a reproduction shield, so that the output of the reproduction head is varied, is suppressed, and a gap between the main magnetic pole and a reproduction element is reduced. SOLUTION: The vertical recording magnetic head comprises a vertical recording head having the main magnetic pole and an auxiliary magnetic pole, and the reproduction head having a first reproduction shield, a second reproduction shield, and a magnetoresistance effect element provided between the first and second shields. The main magnetic pole is formed between the auxiliary magnetic pole and the first reproduction shield. The first reproduction shield has a three-layer structure of an upper shield layer, a non-magnetic layer, and a lower shield layer. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI |
