Abstract
A thin film magnetic head includes an upper shield section, a lower shield section and a magnetoresistance device section between the upper shield section and the lower shield section. The magnetoresistance device section is connected to the upper shield section and the lower shield section through conductive layers. Current flows through the magnetoresistance device section via the upper shield and the lower shield.
