A magnet unit for a magnetron sputtering system includes a base plate and a plurality of magnet parts each including a first magnet and a first supporting member. The first supporting member supports the first magnet and fixes the first magnet to the base plate. The magnet parts confine a plasma.

Magnet unit for magnetron sputtering system

According to the present invention, a recording magnetic head suitable for increasing a surface recording density and having a large recording magnetic field and a small recording blur is provided. A lower magnetic pole layer and an upper magnetic pole layer opposing the lower magnetic pole layer are formed, and a lower sub magnetic pole composed of a plurality of magnetic layers is formed along a medium facing face on the lower magnetic pole layer. The lengths in a direction perpendicular to the medium facing face of the respective magnetic layers forming the lower sub magnetic pole are longer as the respective magnetic layers get further away from the upper magnetic pole layer.

A liquid resist is introduced between adjacent conductive lines of a coil pattern girdling around a magnetic core piece. When the liquid resist is cured, an insulating resin filler can be fixed between the adjacent conductive lines of the coil pattern. An insulating metallic layer is formed to extend over the insulting resin filler and the conductive lines of the coil pattern. Thereafter, the insulating metallic layer is subjected to a flattening grinding treatment until at least a part of the conductive line is exposed at a flattened surface. Of the resist, of a higher fluidity, penetrates in every hole and corner between the adjacent conductive lines, the gap defined between the adjacent conductive lines is fully filled with the insulating material. No voids remain in the gap. The conductive line of the coil can be reliably prevented from corrosion or oxidation. Moreover, a relatively brittle of fragile insulating resin filler is reliably prevented from being subjected to the flattening.

Method of producing thin film magnetic head

A thin film magnetic head includes an upper and a lower magnetic pole layer extending forward from a central magnetic core within a thin film coil. A narrow upper and lower front magnetic pole piece are connected to the front ends of the upper and lower magnetic pole layer, respectively. The upper front magnetic pole piece extends rearward from its front end exposed at a medium-opposed surface. The lower front magnetic pole piece extends in a lateral direction along the medium-opposed surface by a lateral width larger than that of the upper front magnetic pole piece. The lower front magnetic pole piece extends rearward from the medium-opposed surface by a longitudinal length smaller than that of the upper front magnetic pole piece. The lower front magnetic pole piece serves to concentrate the magnetic flux at the front ends of the upper and lower front magnetic pole pieces. Since the lower front magnetic pole piece is designed to have a larger lateral width in the lateral direction irrespective of a smaller length in the longitudinal direction, the production of the lower front magnetic pole piece can remarkably be facilitated.

A thin film magnetic head includes an upper magnetic pole maintaining a constant thickness in a range determined by the so-called gap depth. A thinner film portion is defined in the upper magnetic pole in a range rearward of the range determined by the gap depth. The thinner film portion has a reduced thickness smaller than the constant thickness. The upper magnetic pole starts to enlarge the core width in the lateral direction at the rear end of the region determined by the so-called neck height. The neck height smaller than the gap depth serves to establish a reduction in the thickness of the upper magnetic pole after the upper magnetic pole gets larger in the lateral direction. A magnetic saturation can reliably be prevented at the thinner film portion in the upper magnetic pole. The front end of the upper magnetic pole is allowed to receive a larger quantity of a magnetic flux. It is possible to reliably enhance a magnetic field for recordation in the thin film magnetic head.
