Abstract

A thin film magnetic head which includes a substrate of magnetic or nonmagnetic material, an upper magnetic film on the substrate, a coil conductor on the substrate, and a lower magnetic film on the substrate, the lower magnetic film having a groove formed therein for receiving the coil conductor therein. In the preferred form of the present invention, the thickness of the lower magnetic film is at least 0.3 times the thickness of the upper magnetic film when the substrate is composed of a magnetic material and at least 0.8 times the thickness of the upper magnetic film when the substrate is composed of a nonmagnetic material.
