The present invention provides a thin film magnetic head having a recording track width of 1 mum or less, and a method for manufacturing the thin film magnetic head having a recording track width of 1 mum or less. In the thin film magnetic head, an upper core layer and a lower core layer extend from a back region toward a magnetic pole tip region, and are exposed at a medium opposing surface, and a gap layer is provided, in the magnetic pole tip region, between the upper core layer and the lower core layer. An insulation layer is deposited on the lower core layer, and a groove that extends from the medium opposing surface toward the back region is provided in the magnetic pole tip region of the insulation layer. A lower magnetic pole layer, the gap layer, and an upper magnetic pole layer are deposited in the groove. The lower magnetic pole layer is joined to the lower core layer, while the upper magnetic pole layer is joined to the upper core layer.
