Abstract
In this method of manufacturing magnetic head elements, the width of the ELG elements can be narrower and the number of magnetic head elements manufactured can be increased. The method includes the steps of: lapping a bar-shaped member in which magnetic head element sections and ELG elements are alternately formed; monitoring resistance of the ELG elements; and removing the ELG elements so as to divide the bar-shaped member into a plurality of the magnetic head element sections. A lead layer of each ELG element is connected to the nearest inner lead layer of the adjacent magnetic head element section, and a connecting pad is connected to a pad for monitoring the ELG element. Terminal pillars in the lead layers act as a common terminal pillar of the magnetic head element section and the ELG element.
