a CCP-type thin-film magnetic head and a manufacturing method thereof are provided. The CCP-type thin-film magnetic head includes a thin-film magnetic head element formed between the upper shield layer and the lower shield layer, and a side fill gap layer securing the insulating property, which is formed from both end faces of the thin-film magnetic head element, wherein a top surface of the lower shield layer is formed in a non-flat surface having a convex portion disposed at a center in a track width direction and a concave portion disposed at both sides in a track width direction of the convex portion, the thin-film magnetic head element is formed on the convex portion, and an buried gap layer contacting the side fill gap layer is formed in the concave portion.
