Abstract

A method of manufacturing a magneto-resistance effect type head that includes an element portion of magneto-resistance effect type and reproduces a read signal of data from a recording medium by the element portion, is proposed. The method includes applying a predetermined DC current to the element portion; and performing heat treatment on a part of the element portion that has been thermally deformed due to application of the DC current.

Claims (17)

1. A method of manufacturing a magneto-resistance effect type head, the magneto-resistance effect type head that includes an element portion of magneto-resistance effect type and reproduces a read signal of data from a recording medium by the element portion, comprising:

applying a predetermined DC current to deform the element portion thermally; and

performing heat treatment on a deformed part of the element portion.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the performing includes causing a surface of a bump disk to collide with the deformed part of the element portion.

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the bump disk is a laser bump disk.

4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the laser bump disk and the deformed element portion are made to collide for five minutes.

5. The method according to claim 2 , wherein a plurality of bumps each having a ring-shaped protrusion and a recess is spirally formed on the bump disk.

6. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

forming the magneto-resistance effect type head with a write element and a read element; and

applying a weak current to the read element.

7. A method of manufacturing a magneto-resistance effect type head, the magneto-resistance effect type head that includes an element portion of magneto-resistance effect type and reproduces a read signal of data from a recording medium by the element portion, comprising:

applying a predetermined DC current to the element portion;

performing heat treatment on a part of the element portion that has been thermally deformed due to application of the DC current; and

wherein the performing includes causing a surface of a bump disk to collide with the part of the element portion.

8. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the bump disk is a laser bump disk.

9. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the laser bump disk and the element portion are made to collide for approximately five minutes.

10. The method according to claim 7 , wherein a plurality of bumps each having a ring-shaped protrusion and a recess is spirally formed on the bump disk.
