A magnetic head includes a main pole, a write shield, and first and second nonmagnetic layers. The main pole has a top surface including an inclined surface portion. The inclined surface portion includes a first portion and a second portion, the first portion being closer to a medium facing surface. The write shield includes an inclined portion facing toward the top surface of the main pole. The first nonmagnetic layer is interposed between the inclined portion and the second portion of the inclined surface portion. The second nonmagnetic layer is interposed between the inclined portion and a combination of the first portion of the inclined surface portion and the first nonmagnetic layer.

A magnetic head includes a coil, a main pole, a write shield, and a return path section. The write shield includes a bottom shield located on the rear side in the direction of travel of a recording medium relative to the main pole. The return path section is located on the rear side in the direction of travel of the recording medium relative to the main pole and connects the bottom shield and part of the main pole away from a medium facing surface so as to define a space through which part of the coil passes. The return path section is not exposed in the medium facing surface. The bottom shield includes a base part, and a protruding part protruding from the base part toward the main pole. The base part is greater than the protruding part in length in a direction perpendicular to the medium facing surface.

A method of manufacturing a magnetic head includes the step of forming an accommodation part and the step of forming a return path section. The return path section lies between a main pole and a top surface of a substrate, and connects a shield and part of the main pole away from a medium facing surface to each other so that a space through which part of a coil passes is defined. The accommodation part accommodates at least part of the return path section. The step of forming the return path section forms first to third portions simultaneously. The first portion is located closer to the top surface of the substrate than is the space. The second portion is located closer to the medium facing surface than is the space. The third portion is located farther from the medium facing surface than is the space.

A magnetic head includes a coil, a main pole, and a return path section. The return path section includes a plurality of magnetic path portions that separate a magnetic flux into a plurality of fluxes and allow the fluxes to pass therethrough in parallel. The coil includes a winding portion disposed around an assemblage of the plurality of magnetic path portions. In any cross section that intersects all of the plurality of magnetic path portions, the distance between two adjacent magnetic path portions is smaller than the minimum width of each of the two adjacent magnetic path portions, and only a nonmagnetic layer is present between the two adjacent magnetic path portions.
