The present invention is to provide a thin film magnetic head intended to increase
precision of and to narrow a width which determines a track width of a write thin
film magnetic head and to supply a stably high output substantially free from write
blurring on a disk, and a method for manufacturing the same. The thin film magnetic
head consisting of a magnetic circuit comprising a read head to read information,
a lower magnetic film, a magnetic gap and an upper magnetic film formed with a
magnetic gap between it and the lower magnetic film; and of a write head comprising
a coil positioned between the upper magnetic film and the lower magnetic film and
an insulating film for insulting the coil and the upper magnetic film from each
other, wherein the upper magnetic film is configured of an upper first magnetic
film, an upper second magnetic film and an upper third magnetic film, and the upper
first magnetic film is connected to the upper third magnetic film via the upper
second magnetic film.
