Abstract

See full text

A perpendicular magnetic recording head includes a first magnetic layer having a main magnetic pole exposed at a medium-facing surface that faces a recording medium; a second magnetic layer that faces the first magnetic layer with a nonmagnetic layer interposed therebetween; and a coil layer for applying a recording magnetic field to the first magnetic layer. The second magnetic layer includes a relatively thick edge portion, whereby the edge-write magnetic field is reduced and the external magnetic field resistance is increased.
