A method for fabricating a magnetic head, including depositing a plurality of sensor layers, including a pinned magnetic layer, a spacer layer, a free magnetic layer, a bias spacer layer, and a bias layer, and thereafter removing outer portions of the spacer layer, the free magnetic layer, the bias spacer layer, and the bias layer. Inner electrical lead portions are deposited upon outer portions of the pinned magnetic layer, and a bias pinning layer is then deposited upon both the bias layer and the inner electrical lead portions. Outer electrical lead portions are thereafter deposited in electrical connection with the inner electrical lead portions. An alternative embodiment includes removing portions of the pinned magnetic layer prior to the deposition of the inner electrical lead portions.
