Multilayer suspension, head gimbal assembly

A head gimbal assembly including a multilayer suspension and a head slider mounted on said multilayer suspension, said head slider having at least one head element, said multilayer suspension comprising:

• a resilient bending section formed by partially removing at least one layer of a five-layer structure which includes a first metal thin-plate layer formed by a stainless steel thin plate, a first resin layer laminated on said first metal thin-plate layer, a second metal thin-plate layer formed by a stainless steel thin plate laminated on said first resin layer, a second resin layer laminated on said second metal thin-plate layer, and a conductive layer forming patterned trace conductors and patterned connection pads laminated on said second resin layer;
• a resilient gimbal section for mounting said head slider, formed by partially removing at least one layer of said five-layer structure;
• and
• a rigid section for coupling said bending section and said gimbal section, formed by partially removing at least one layer of said second resin layer and said conductive layer;
• wherein said first resin layer is between the stainless steel plates of said first metal thin-plate and said second thin-plate metal layer.
