Abstract

To achieve an ultralow flying height for magnetic heads, we developed a super proximity trapezoid shaped slider having leading edge width narrower than the trailing edge width. Compared to a conventional slider, it has lower inertia and mass and can maintain a higher roll stiffness. Therefore, it can reduce the impact force resulting from scattered projections on disk surfaces. In addition, it can reduce the flying height fluctuations due to slider rail irregularities, because it is supported at three points by air pressure. As a result, its flying stability is highly reliable.
