Abstract
Scattered total internal reflection (SCATIR) is an optical phenomenon that allows measurement of the fly height of sliders. Good agreement between the measurements made with scattered total internal reflection (SCATIR) and the nominal fly heights (100, 65, and 25 nm) of three commercial sliders was obtained. Fluctuations in the flying height of a tri-pad slider as a function of load were observed. Applying a correction for the Gaussian profile of the incident laser revealed the crown of a 70% slider.
