Abstract
In a thin film magnetic head including a substrate, a plurality of organic insulating layers, and a plurality of winding layers alternating with the organic insulating layers, a lead terminal formed by an extension of an uppermost one of the winding layers is covered by two upper ones of the organic insulating layers. An edge of the uppermost one of the two upper organic insulating layers on the lead terminal is outside of an edge of the other beneath the lead terminal.
Claims4
A thin film magnetic head comprising:
- a substrate;
- a plurality of patterned organic insulating layers formed over said substrate;
- a plurality of winding layers each being sandwiched by two of said organic insulating layers;
- a lead terminal being formed by an extension of an uppermost one of said winding layers and being covered by one of said organic insulating layers immediately below said uppermost one of said winding layers and an uppermost one of said organic insulating layers,
- an edge of said uppermost one of said organic insulating layers on said lead terminal being outside of an edge of said one of said organic insulating layers under said lead terminal.
