Magnetic head and method of manufacturing the same

摘要

A magnetic head has a narrow upper magnetic pole and is capable of restricting side erasure and record bleeding. The magnetic head is capable of writing data on a recording medium, and includes an upper magnetic pole including a pole section which faces the recording medium and has a prescribed width, and a lower magnetic pole including grooves respectively formed on the both sides of the pole section. A level of edges of the grooves are lower than that of an upper face of the lower magnetic pole.
