Abstract
A magnetic head element has one or more rails formed on the surface thereof. Each rail is formed so as to have a tapered angle of 55-85.degree.. To form such a rail, ion milling is conducted; the rail substrate used is allowed to have an inclination angle to 15-60.degree. and is rotated; and there is used, as the ion milling gas, a fluorinated hydrocarbon (e.g., CH.sub.2 FCF.sub.3) gas alone or a mixed gas of said fluorinated hydrocarbon gas and Ar, SF.sub.6 or the like. Accordingly, a magnetic head rail shape gives a small variation in flying height between magnetic head and magnetic disc.
