The invention concerns an integrated magnetic head adapted to cooperate with a track of a very narrow width, f.i. of about 20 microns, of a recording medium which moves perpendicularly to said width in close proximity to the frontal gap face of the head. The frontal width of the pole-piece layers of the head is reduced after said layers have been formed with a larger width adapted to a normal electromagnetic efficiency of the head in the parts of the said pole-pieces which encase the front branch of its flat conductor winding coil. The reduction is obtained by removal of the lateral parts of the pole-pieces over a predetermined depth with respect to the frontal face. Any registering part of an intervening dielectric layer between the pole-piece layers for defining the magnetic gap of the head is simultaneously removed. It is important that the removal be made by an attack such as a ionic erosion process perpendicularly oriented to the frontal plane of the head. The depth of removal may be of the order of 5 to 6 microns when the reduced width must be about twenty microns and when, further, the ratio of the overall thickness of the pole-piece layers and intervening layer at the frontal face of the gap to the said reduced width is higher than two.
