Abstract: A module (10) for a tape head assembly includes a first substrate (11) having active elements (18) and a second substrate (12) having active elements (20). The active elements on the first and second substrates can be read elements, write elements, or a combination of read and write elements. The second substrate is positioned over the first substrate. In one embodiment, the active elements of the first substrate are aligned between the active elements of the second substrate when the second substrate is positioned over the first substrate. In a second embodiment, the active elements of the first substrate are aligned directly across the active elements of the second substrate when the second substrate is positioned over the first substrate.
