Abstract

Process for obtaining a pattern, particularly of ferromagnetic material, having differently sloping sides and magnetic head having such a pattern. This process consists of depositing on a ferromagnetic layer (4) resting on a ceramic support (2), a photosensitive resin layer (6), forming by photolithography an opening (8) in said resin layer and then polymerizing said resin in order that the sides (8a) of the opening are inclined, forming a two-layer mask (10a, 12a) on the resin layer partly masking said opening and defining the shape of the pattern to be produced in the ferromagnetic layer, anisotropically etching the resin layer in order to eliminate the unmasked regions of said layer, eliminating the mask, anisotropically eteching the ferromagnetic layer (4) using the etched resin layer as the etching mask (6a) and eliminating the remainder of the resin layer.
