A magnetic head comprises a pole layer, a shield layer, a gap layer disposed between the pole layer and the shield layer, and a coil. The shield layer incorporates: a first layer disposed on the gap layer; a second layer disposed on the first layer; and a third layer disposed on the second layer. The first layer has an end face located in a medium facing surface. An end face of each of the second and third layers closer to the medium facing surface is located at a distance from the medium facing surface. A first nonmagnetic layer is disposed around the first layer. A second nonmagnetic layer is disposed between the medium facing surface and the end face of the second layer closer to the medium facing surface.

An encasing section that accommodates a pole layer includes an encasing layer having an encasing groove, and a nonmagnetic film disposed in the encasing groove at a position between the encasing layer and the pole layer. The pole layer includes a track width defining portion and a wide portion. The distance from a medium facing surface to the boundary between the track width defining portion and the wide portion is within a range of 10 to 300 nm. The track width defining portion has a first side surface and a second side surface, while the wide portion has a third side surface contiguous to the first side surface, and a fourth side surface contiguous to the second side surface. The encasing layer has a first wall surface and a second wall surface that form the encasing groove. The distance between the third side surface and the first wall surface is smaller than the distance between the first side surface and the first wall surface, and the distance between the fourth side surface and the second wall surface is smaller than the distance between the second side surface and the second wall surface.

A magnetic layer for writing incorporates: a pole layer having an end face located in a medium facing surface; and an upper yoke layer. A first magnetic layer for flux concentration is connected to the pole layer at a location away from the medium facing surface, and allows a magnetic flux corresponding to a magnetic field generated by a first coil to pass. A second magnetic layer for flux concentration is connected to the upper yoke layer at a location away from the medium facing surface, and allows a magnetic flux corresponding to a magnetic field generated by a second coil to pass. When seen in the direction orthogonal to the interface between the second magnetic layer and the upper yoke layer, this interface is disposed at a location that does not coincide with the interface between the first magnetic layer and the pole layer.

A magnetic head comprises a pole layer, a gap layer, a shield layer, a nonmagnetic layer, and a coil. The shield layer incorporates: a first layer disposed on the gap layer; a second layer disposed on the first layer; a two-layered coupling layer disposed on a region of the pole layer where an opening of the gap layer is formed; and a third layer disposed to couple the second layer to the coupling layer. The first layer defines throat height TH. The nonmagnetic layer is disposed on a side of the first layer. The coil is disposed on the nonmagnetic layer on a side of the second layer.

A thin-film magnetic head for perpendicular magnetic recording comprises a coil, a main magnetic pole layer for performing perpendicular recording, a write shield layer and a write gap layer, wherein the main magnetic pole layer comprises a main pole film portion and a yoke pole film portion. The write shield layer has a first shield film portion for determining a throat height, and the thickness of the first shield layer is smaller than the thickness of the yoke pole film portion.

A thin-film magnetic head comprises a bottom pole layer having a surface that faces toward a write gap layer. This surface incorporates a first surface including an end portion located in the air bearing surface, and a second surface located away from the air bearing surface. There is a difference in level between the first surface and the second surface, so that the second surface is located farther from the top pole layer than the first surface. A top pole layer incorporates a throat height defining layer, an intermediate layer, and a yoke portion layer. The yoke portion layer includes a track width defining portion for defining the track width. Each of the throat height defining layer, the intermediate layer, and the track width defining portion has a width equal to the track width.

A magnetic head comprises: an encasing layer made of a nonmagnetic material and having a groove that opens in the top surface; a nonmagnetic metal layer made of a nonmagnetic metal material, disposed on the top surface of the encasing layer, and having a penetrating opening that is contiguous to the groove; and a pole layer made of a magnetic metal material and encased in the groove of the encasing layer and in the opening of the nonmagnetic metal layer. The pole layer has an end face located in a medium facing surface, the end face having a first portion and a second portion that is located farther from a substrate than the first portion and connected to the first portion. The first portion has a width that decreases as the distance from the substrate decreases. The second portion has a uniform width that defines the track width. In the medium facing surface, the nonmagnetic metal layer exists on both sides of the second portion, the sides being opposed to each other in the direction of track width.

A thin-film magnetic head comprises a top pole layer incorporating a throat height defining layer, an intermediate layer, and a yoke portion layer. The yoke portion layer includes a track width defining portion for defining the track width. Each of the throat height defining layer, the intermediate layer, and the track width defining portion has a width equal to the track width. The length of the intermediate layer is greater than the length of the throat height defining layer, and the length of the yoke portion layer is greater than the length of the intermediate layer, each of the lengths being taken in the direction orthogonal to the air bearing surface.

A slider includes a slider main body and a thin-film magnetic head element. The slider main body has an air bearing surface, an air inflow end, and an air outflow end. The air bearing surface has a first part closer to the air outflow end, a second part closer to the air inflow end, and a border part between the first part and the second part. The second part is slanted against the first part so that the entire air bearing surface has a convex shape bent at the border part.
