Abstract :
A simplified geometric model is presented for analyzing the thermal conduction problem in magnetoresistive heads. The model leads to an approximate analytical solution for the thermal resistance as a function of the key geometric and material parameters. The model reveals trends that will be helpful in designing the next generation of high resolution recording heads
