Abstract :
A novel type of magnetoresistive (MR) head is described. It is based on the horizontal, inductive head and therefore offers a set of process options during fabrication not available with conventionally processed film heads. The authors describe the theory of operation of the head, give an estimate of the signal amplitude, and discuss the dependence of the performance on key parameters
