The magnetic member is connected to the main pole film through a via hole portion, and is exposed on the sliding surface in the vicinity of the main pole film so as to face the recording medium. A thin magnetic film serving as a magnetic shield covers the protective film and the sidewall surface of the head and is joined to the sidewall surface of the magnetic member.
