<p>A thin film head is formed with first and second magnetic layers (P1, P2) of Permalloy that compose a magnetic yoke with a transducing gap (16) and includes a seed layer (24) deposited under the second magnetic layer (P2). The seed layer (24) is made of Fe-N-Al or Fe-N. The seed layer (24) may be sandwiched between oxide layers of silicon oxide or aluminum oxide. The seed layer (24) is characterized by high magnetic saturation and high permeability. The thin film head can provide a higher write field without change in head dimensions, or alternatively provide a smaller gap length without reducing the effectiveness of the write field. Linear recording density can be increased and the level of the playback signal can be improved with the thin film head using the seed layer (24) disclosed herein. <IMAGE></p> |
