Abstract

Provided is a magnetic recording head including a return pole, a writing pole spaced by a predetermined distance from the return pole, an induction writing coil for inducing a magnetic field to be formed across the writing pole, and a plurality of shield layers formed on the writing pole. Accordingly, magnetic fields generated inside and outside the magnetic recording head are prevented from concentrating on the return pole, and information is effectively written on and erased from an information recording media.

Claims (16)

1. A magnetic recording head comprising:

a return pole formed on a magneto-resistive head;

a writing pole formed over the return pole;

an introduction writing coil for inducing a magnetic field to be formed across the writing pole; and

a plurality of shield layers formed on the writing pole to be spaced by a predetermined distance from the writing pole.

2. A magnetic recording head comprising:

a return pole;

a writing pole spaced by a predetermined distance from the return pole;

an introduction writing coil for inducing a magnetic field to be formed across the writing pole;

a plurality of shield layers formed on the writing pole; and

at least one insulation layer,

wherein the plurality of shield layers are made of a magnetic material, and a respective one of said at least one insulation layer is formed between adjacent shield layers of the plurality of shield layers to separate the adjacent shield layers,

wherein among the plurality of shield layers, a magnetic permeability of a lower shield layer is less than a magnetic permeability of an upper shield layer.

3. The magnetic recording head of claim 2 , wherein the respective one of said at least one insulation layer formed between the adjacent shield layers extends from leading ends of the adjacent shield layers to predetermined portions of tailing ends of the adjacent shield layers.

4. The magnetic recording head of claim 2 , wherein among the plurality of shield layers, a width of a leading end of a lower shield layer is less than or equal to a width of a leading end of an upper shield layer.

5. The magnetic recording head of claim 2 , wherein leading ends of the plurality of shield layers are aligned with a leading end of the writing pole.
