Disclosed are a thin film magnetic head that has a recoding coil and a method of forming a recording coil can sufficiently achieve a cross-sectional area of the coil and reduce coil resistance. A recording coil of a thin film magnetic head is formed as follows. First, frames, which divide a coil forming area, are formed on the plating base film for forming a coil. Further, the plating base film exposed between the frames is etched, and etching rebounds the plating base film are re-attached to a frame side wall. Then, a nonmagnetic metal layer is formed by plating on the area divided by the frames. Accordingly, the recording coil that has a thickness at both end portions in a coil width direction that is larger than that of a central portion thereof is obtained.
