A method of forming a patterned thin film and a method of forming a magnetic pole of a thin-film magnetic head according to the invention comprise the steps of: forming a convex first patterned layer made of a first material on an electrode film that serves as a conductive base; forming a second patterned layer to be a frame, made of a nonconductive second material different from the first material, on the electrode film around the first patterned layer; making the second patterned layer into a frame by removing the first patterned layer, the frame having a groove formed by the removal of the first patterned layer; and forming a patterned thin film (pole portion layer) in the groove of the frame.
