A fabrication method for thin film magnetic heads, comprises, forming a Current Perpendicular to a Plane (CPP) sensor film over a lower shield and a first chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) stop film over the CPP sensor film, etching the CPP sensor film and forming a track width on the CPP sensor film, and covering at least the etching section of the CPP sensor film with an insulating film. The method further comprises forming a CMP dummy film over the insulating film and a second CMP stop film over the CMP dummy film, exposing the first CMP stop film, and removing the first CMP stop film and the second CMP stop film by oxygen reactive ion etching (RIE) and the CMP dummy film by fluorine RIE, and forming an upper shield film over the insulating film and over the CPP sensor film.
