A magnetoresistive head (10) including a first magnetic shield, a first electrode terminal (12) provided on the first magnetic shield and having a first width or height, and a magnetoresistive film (14) provided on the first electrode terminal and having a second width or height less than or equal to the first width or height. The magnetoresistive head further includes a second electrode terminal (10) provided on the magnetoresistive film and having a third width or height less than or equal to the second width or height, and a second magnetic shield provided on the second electrode terminal. Preferably, the magnetoresistive head further includes a plug electrode for connecting the second electrode terminal to the second magnetic shield, and a plug side wall protective insulating film for covering a side wall of the plug electrode. <IMAGE> |
