A combined thin film magnetic head includes a first yoke type magnetic head (200a) and a second yoke type MR head (200b) a front gap (20a, 20b) is provided at a front end of the first yoke type MR head (200a), and a second yoke type MR head (200b) is provided behind the first yoke type MR head (200a). Consequently, the first yoke type MR head (200a) and the second yoke type MR head (200b) can be formed on the same substrate through the same process steps, and the number of manufacturing steps can be significantly reduced. <IMAGE> |
