Abstract
A slider for a magnetic head has air bearing surfaces in a medium opposing surface, and traces of processing are formed in the medium opposing surface excluding the air bearing surfaces to induce a strain in the medium opposing surface whereby the planer structure of the air bearing surfaces is controlled.
Claims4
A method of controlling the degree of flatness of an air bearing surface in a medium opposing surface of a slider for a magnetic head, said slider also having a surface remote from the medium opposing surface, comprising inducing a strain in said air bearing surface by forming at least one trace of processing in at least one of (1) the surface remote from the medium opposing surface and (2) the medium opposing surface excluding the air bearing surface of the slider.
