We developed metal particulate (MP) tapes with an ultra thin magnetic layer optimized for an MR head. Reproduced output voltage in the combination of the MP tapes and the MR head was at least 10 times larger than that of an inductive head combined with a conventional MP tape. The areal recording density in the combination of the developed MP tapes and the MR head was estimated 6 times higher than that of the conventional one.
