Thin-femto magnetic head slider and method for producing the same

摘要

In one embodiment, a magnetic head slider includes a substrate, at least two elements (read element, write element, and/or heater element) positioned adjacent to the substrate, a resistance detection element positioned near the two elements, a pair of conductive terminals in an accessible position and coupled to each of the two elements, a protective film surrounding the two elements and the resistance detection element, a first and a second thin conductive wire extending from the resistance detection element and terminating at an edge of the protective film, a third thin conductive wire extending from one of the pair of conductive terminals for a first of the two elements and terminating at an edge of the protective film, and a fourth thin conductive wire extending from one of the pair of conductive terminals for a second of the two elements and terminating at an edge of the protective film.

1. A magnetic head slider, comprising:
a substrate; at least two elements positioned adjacent to the substrate, the elements being selected from a group consisting of: a read element, a write element, and a heater element; a resistance detection element positioned near the at least two elements; a pair of conductive terminals for each of the at least two elements, each pair of conductive terminals being in an accessible position and being coupled to the associated element; a first thin conductive wire electrically coupled to the resistance detection element and terminating at a first edge of the slider; a second thin conductive wire electrically coupled to the resistance detection element and terminating at a second edge of the slider; a third thin conductive wire extending from one of the conductive terminals for a first of the at least two elements and terminating at the first edge of the slider; and a fourth thin conductive wire extending from one of the conductive terminals for a second of the at least two elements and terminating at the second edge of the slider.
