PURPOSE: To easily perform the coating operation of a conductive material in the assembly process of a stacked magnetic head.

CONSTITUTION: Blocks which have been sandwiched between nonmagnetic- substance substrates are brought face to face with each other, and a head 16 is formed. In the manufacturing method for the head, the lower end of each nonmagnetic-substance substrate on the side of a head base opposite to the side on which a core chip is pasted is made short, or a groove which reaches a magnetically soft material is formed at the lower part at the time when the core chip 12 is formed. Alternatively, a through hole is made in the lower part, a magnetically soft alloy film 2 is exposed and its part is coated with a conductive material 1.
