Appeal No. 95-1673
Application 08/039,552
claims 1 through 10, all of the claims pending in the
application.
The invention pertains to a thin-film magnetic head.
More particularly, in order to solve the problem of the prior
art wherein resistance in the connecting tracks increases to a
greater extent than the resistance in the windings, the
instant invention provides for auxiliary tracks connected in
parallel to, and on a different level than (i.e., above and
below), the connecting tracks so as to effectively increase
the cross-sections of the connecting tracks in order to lower
resistance and heat developed during operation.
Independent claim 1 is reproduced as follows:
1. A thin-film magnetic head, comprising a thin film
structure on a substrate, the structure comprising a flux
conductor layer and first and second electrically conducting
layers, which electrical conducting layers are located one
above the other at separate levels, and are at least partly
located between the substrate and the flux conductor layer,
the first layer including a first winding having a first
through-connection end, and a first connecting track as an
integral extension of, and on the same level as the first
winding, and having a first connecting end, and the second
layer including a second winding having a second through-
connection end, and a second connecting track as an integral
extension of, and on the same level as the second winding and
having a second connecting end, the through-
connection ends being interconnected and the connecting tracks
being adjacent to each other,
