description the present invention provides a method for forming coil structures and their resistive and support layers for an ultra short yoke magnetic write head referring first to fig1 there is shown an artists rendering for clarity of reproduction of a photomicro graph of a cross section through an ultra short yoke magnetic write head formed by the methods of the prior art in which there is only a single hardbake of each insulating layer a first coil layer 3 has been formed on an alumina al 2 o 3 layer 1 a first layer of insulation 5 has been formed over the first coil layer by the prior art method producing a convex upper surface 6 as a result of the hardbake while a desired apex angle 2 has been obtained the second coil layer 4 has been formed on the extremely convex surface 6 of the insulating layer of the first coil formation 5 as can also be seen the necessity of forming the second coil layer 4 on such a convex surface has produced a poor coil formation and shorting 8 between neighboring coil turns a second insulation layer 10 has been formed over the second coil layer said second insulation layer also having a convex surface 12 in an effort to shorten the yoke length the region 7 between the second coil layer and the top surface of the second insulation layer can become thin enough to allow shorting between the coil and the second pole piece assembly comprising an upper yoke 13 and attached upper write pole 14 referring next to fig1 b there is again shown an artists rendering for.
