Abstract
Heads with 1.5-20-μm track widths have been fabricated using ion-beam etching. Three-dimensional numerical calculations, the micro-Kerr technique, and precise read-write measurements have been carried out to analyze the width dependence of the very narrow tracks at the pole tip. The results show that a 2-μm-track-width head with single-layer film achieves an acceptable level of domain configuration control and can be used to increase recording density
