PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for manufacturing a thin film magnetic head which controls a polishing amount with high accuracy to form a uniform width of a trailing edge.SOLUTION: A magnetic pole tip part 13A and a resistance sensor 103 of an integrated structure 100 are ground together to half way, and the trailing edge (TE) width W1 of the magnetic pole tip part 13A and the height H1 of the resistance sensor 103 are measured. The target height HC is determined by comparing the measured TE width W1 and the height H1 with comparison reference values (correlation of the TE width W2 and the height H2). An air bearing face 40 is formed by grinding the magnetic pole tip part 13A and the resistance sensor 103 together until the height H1 reaches the determined target height HC. |
