A thin film magnetic head which includes a magnetoresistive layer selectively formed; a magnetic bias layer sandwiching said magnetoresistive layer; a pair of leads for detecting magnetic resistance; and a cap layer formed under the lead between the magnetoresistive layer. This configuration enables to accurately specify a magnetic response region by both ends of the cap layers, concentrating the current from the lead onto the magnetic response region through a tip of the cap layer for improving a S/N ratio.
