PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a thin film magnetic head wherein the magnetic field in the direction perpendicular to the surface of a recording medium, generated from a magnetic pole part, can be enhanced and recording density can be enhanced. SOLUTION: The thin film magnetic head is provided with a first and a second magnetic layers 8 and 14, a gap layer 9 provided between the first and the second magnetic layers 8 and 14, a connecting part 12 magnetically connecting the first and the second magnetic layers 8 and 14 to each other at a position apart from a medium facing surface ABS and a thin film coil 10 the part of which is provided between the first and the second magnetic layers 8 and 14. The second magnetic layer 14 has a magnetic pole part layer 14A and a yoke part layer 14B. The thin film magnetic head is provided with a non-magnetic layer 15 coming into contact with the surface on the side opposite to the gap layer 9 of the magnetic pole part layer 14A. The non-magnetic layer 15 prevents the surface on the side opposite to the gap layer 9 of the magnetic pole part layer 14A from being damaged in a manufacturing process of the head and maintains the flatness of the surface. |
