Patent ID: 7370405

Claim:
A fabrication method of a magnetic head for perpendicular magnetic recording, which includes the steps of: forming a first resist pattern on a first inorganic insulating layer; removing the first resist pattern in a first area where a main pole is formed; forming a first magnetic layer as the main pole on the first inorganic insulating layer in the first area where the first resist pattern was removed; removing a remaining first resist pattern; forming a second inorganic insulating layer in a second area where the remaining first resist pattern was removed; flattening a top of the first magnetic layer and a top of the second inorganic insulating layer; forming a second resist pattern; removing the second resist pattern in a third area where a pole tip is formed; and sequentially forming a second magnetic layer as the pole tip on the second inorganic insulating layer and the first magnetic layer in the third area where the second resist pattern was removed.
