Abstract

Process for producing red and/or write heads for magnetic recording. According to the invention, use is made of a monocrystalline substrate (16), which is anisotropically etched in accordance with a crystallographic plane in order to give the gap (48) its precise direction (straight or inclined). The substrate also undergoes thermal oxidation to give the gap a given thickness. Application to heads for video recording.
