<p>Thin-film magnetic head comprising a substrate (2), an inductive element (23) and a magnetoresistive element (7) and three substantially parallel extending magnetically conducting flux guides (3, 4, 5) for magnetic cooperation with said elements. A non-magnetic read gap (17) adjacent to a head face (1) extends between a first flux guide (3) and a second flux guide (4) and a non-magnetic write gap (27) adjacent to the head face extends between the second flux guide and a third flux guide (5). Viewed from the substrate, the gaps are situated one behind the other. The second flux guide extending between the first flux guide and the third flux guide is built up layer by layer and comprises two soft-magnetic layers (4A, 4B) and an insulation layer (4C) of a non-magnetic material extending substantially parallel to the substrate and being situated between the soft-magnetic layers. The soft-magnetic layers are interconnected in a magnetically conducting manner proximate to the head face. <IMAGE></p> |
