Abstract
A thin film magnetic head includes yokes for leading magnetic flux of signals generated from a magnetic recording medium up to a magnetic resistance effect element. The yokes are made of sputtered films having internal compressive stress therein. The internal stress in the yokes which are deleterious to the magnetic properties of the magnetic resistance effect element can be negated or reduced by including a film of material on the yokes for compensating for the internal stresses.
