A read/write head is provided with an embedded planar dual coil write structure. The head includes generally parallel shield, shield/pole, and pole layers. The shield/pole layer abuts a generally coplanar planarization layer in one embodiment. A circuitous recess is defined in the shield/pole and planarization layer, spanning the junction twice and encircling a central hub of adjoining shield/pole and planarization layer material. A write structure is located in the recess, with the shield/pole layer, planarization layer, and embedded write structure forming a substantially flat surface for building the pole layer. The write structure includes first and second substantially co-planar multi-turn flat coils, where turns of the first write coil are interspersed with turns of the second write coil. The first and second write coils reside in the circuitous recess, winding around the central hub. An insulating material separates the first and second coils.
