Abstract

A composite type thin-film magnetic head is provided, which comprises: a MR read head element having an upper shield layer, a lower shield layer, an MR layer in which a sense current flows in a direction perpendicular to a surface of the layer through the upper shield layer and the lower shield layer; an inductive write head element formed on the MR read head element, having an upper magnetic pole layer, a recording gap layer, a lower magnetic pole layer where end portion is opposed to an end portion of the upper magnetic pole layer through the recording gap layer, and a write coil; and a capacitance C12 between the write coil and the upper shield layer, set to 0.1 pF or less.
