Abstract

A magnetic film capable of generating strong magnetic fields even in a high frequency region, a manufacturing method therefore and a thin film magnetic head capable of recording even in a high frequency region are provided. In one embodiment, the magnetic film is manufactured by using a 88FeNi film of 200 nm thick having minimum Hk of 0.32 Oe (25.6 A/m) as a main magnetic film and selecting a 20 wt % FeNi film of a similar FeNi alloy plating film having low Hk and low Hc as an interlayer material. A stacked film comprising (88FeNi/20FeNi)×10 layers is prepared so that the total thickness of the main magnetic film is 2 μm. The 88FeNi film is prepared by application of a DC current in a 88FeNi plating bath, and the 20FeNi film is prepared by pulse plating successively in the same bath.
