Abstract

A film transducer head design is formed on a substrate where the first yoke layer and electric terminal strip that connects the coil center pad to the head exterior are formed at the same time followed by successive layers that form the transducer gap, coil insulation, coil, coil insulation and the second yoke layer. This sequence allows the coil to be tested immediately after deposition of the coil material and at a time in the fabrication sequence when it can be reworked or replaced if a discontinuity (open) or shorted turn(s) is (are) identified.
