Abstract

Measuring method of a magnetic head includes (a) placing the magnetic head at normal position, defining a first direction parallel to an air bearing surface and two shielding layers of the magnetic head, and defining a second direction perpendicular to the first direction; (b) tilting the magnetic head at an angle to the second direction, applying a plurality of first magnetic fields with different intensities in the first direction, and measuring out a first output parameter curve; (c) repeating the step (b) with different angles and measuring out a plurality of first output parameter curves; (d) calculating a plurality of pinned direction tilt ratios that a pinned direction of a pinned layer of the magnetic head tilts towards the second direction according to the parameter curves; and (e) calculating a pinned direction tilt angle that the pinned direction tilts towards the second direction according to the pinned direction tilting ratios.
