Abstract

According to one embodiment, a magnetic head includes a magnetic pole layer including a magnetic pole extending along a layer, a coil layer configured to adjoin the magnetic pole layer and including a plurality of conductor patterns constituting a part of a coil wound around the magnetic pole and a resin which fills up a gap between the conductor patterns, a heater layer configured to adjoin the coil layer and including a heater extending in the heater layer via an area along a coil-forming region in which the conductor patterns in the coil layer are formed and an area along a no-coil region off the coil-forming region, and a transition-reluctant portion in that part of the no-coil region which adjoins the heater and having a glass transition temperature higher than that of the resin or not having any glass transition temperature.

Claims (19)

1. A magnetic head comprising:

a magnetic pole layer comprising a magnetic pole along a layer;

a coil layer attached to the magnetic pole layer and comprising a plurality of conductor patterns as a portion of a coil around the magnetic pole and a resin in a gap between the conductor patterns;

a heater layer attached to the coil layer and comprising a heater in the heater layer via an area along a coil-forming region comprising the conductor patterns in the coil layer and an area along a non-coil region; and

a transition-resistant portion in the non-coil region attached to the heater and either comprising a glass transition temperature higher than a transition temperature of the resin or not comprising any glass transition temperature.

2. The magnetic head of claim 1 , wherein the transition-resistant portion is in each of a plurality of areas next to the heater.

3. The magnetic head of claim 1 , wherein the transition-resistant portion comprises material of the conductor pattern.

4. The magnetic head of claim 1 , wherein the transition-resistant portion is in contact with the conductor pattern.

5. The magnetic head of claim 2 , wherein the transition-resistant portion is in contact with the conductor pattern.

6. An information storage device comprising:

a storage medium; and

a magnetic head configured to record information to the storage medium, the magnetic head comprising

a magnetic pole layer comprising a magnetic pole along a layer;

a coil layer attached to the magnetic pole layer and comprising a plurality of conductor patterns as a portion of a coil around the magnetic pole and a resin in a gap between the conductor patterns;

a heater layer attached to the coil layer and comprising a heater in the heater layer via an area along a coil-forming region comprising the conductor patterns in the coil layer and an area along a non-coil region; and

a transition-resistant portion in the non-coil region attached to the heater and either comprising a glass transition temperature higher than a transition temperature of the resin or not comprising any glass transition temperature.

7. The information storage device of claim 6 , wherein the transition-resistant portion is in each of a plurality of areas next to the heater.

8. The information storage device of claim 6 , wherein the transition-resistant portion comprises material of the conductor pattern.

9. The information storage device of claim 6 , wherein the transition-resistant portion is in contact with the conductor pattern.
