PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a CPP type thin film magnetic head for suppressing the generation of a sense current magnetic field and improving the stability of the head. SOLUTION: In the CPP type thin film magnetic head wherein a thin film magnetic head element is provided between a lower shield layer and an upper shield layer and a current flows vertically to the film surface of the thin film magnetic head element, a plurality of division parts magnetically divided in a track width direction are provided in at least one of the lower shield layer and the upper shield layer. Each division part is regulated to be longer in the element height direction of the thin film magnetic head element than in the track width direction. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
