Abstract
A method of forming a magnetic pole section of a perpendicular magnetic recording type thin-film magnetic head and a method of manufacturing a perpendicular magnetic recording type thin-film magnetic head that include forming on an under layer a resist pattern having an opening, forming a first nonmagnetic layer, forming a first magnetic layer forming a magnetic layer pattern, removing the resist pattern and then applying a resist layer onto a first nonmagnetic layer and a magnetic layer pattern, developing or ashing partway the applied resist layer and baking the remaining resist layer, removing the first nonmagnetic layer from at least a side surface of the magnetic layer pattern by etching with the baked resist layer being left, removing all of the resist layer and then forming a second nonmagnetic layer on at least the magnetic layer pattern, and forming a second magnetic layer on the formed second nonmagnetic layer.
