A perpendicular magnetic recording head is provided that has a first coil
layer is electrically connected to a second coil layer through contact
layers. A laminator has a main magnetic pole layer and a gap layer which
are formed between the first and second coil layers and above the contact
layers. At both sides of the laminator, first insulating layers are
formed. A second insulating layer is formed from a top surface of the
laminator to top surfaces of the first insulating layers. An inclined
surface is formed in each of the first insulating layers, and in the
second insulating layer, the inclined surface is formed on the inclined
surface of the first insulating layer.
