This invention has a principal object to eliminate, in a magnetic head and a method of manufacturing the same, the necessity of filling glass, etc. onto a magnetic film to thereby improve reliability of the magnetic head. This invention resides in a method of manufacturing a magnetic head including a pair of magnetic core half bodies opposite to each other, each of the magnetic core half bodies being such that a magnetic film is formed on a base, in which a thin film coil is formed at least at one surface of butting plane surfaces between these magnetic core half bodies, characterized in that, in forming the magnetic film on the base, recessed portions are formed in advance by ion milling, etc. at the base to form the magnetic film at the recessed portions. In this case, it is desirable that the magnetic film consists of a magnetic film having axis of easy magnetization in the depth direction of the magnetic gap and a magnetic film having axis of easy magnetization perpendicular to the axis of easy magnetization.
