Abstract

A yoke-type GMR head with a vertical configuration where the sense current flows through the magnetic yoke films was studied. A large magnetoresistance change was obtained for test structures on a wafer consisting of a spin valve GMR sensor and CoZrNb yoke films. It was also found that offsets in the response curves were observed depending on the overlapped area between sensors and yokes.
