A thin film magnetic head is provided. The thin film magnetic head
includes an upper coil wire group and a lower coil wire group. Two
columns of coil contact groups that are formed on both end portions of
individual coil wires of the upper coil wire group and the lower coil
wire group, connect both end portions of the coil wires. An insulating
resist layer buries a space between coil contacts of the coil contact
groups. An inorganic insulating layer buries a space between the two
columns of coil contact groups. The upper coil wire group, the lower coil
wire group, and the two columns of coil contact groups form a thin film
coil that applies a magnetic recording field to the magnetic material
layer. The insulating resist layer and the inorganic insulating layer are
located at the same lamination height as the two columns of coil contact
groups.
