Magnetic head support, manufacturing methods therefor, and magnetic disk device

摘要

According to an aspect of an embodiment, a method for manufacturing a magnetic head support having a piezoelectric device on a metal plate member comprises the steps of: providing a metal plate member; forming a piezoelectric layer of a piezoelectric material on the plate member at an elevated temperature; forming a first electrode layer of an electrical conducting material on the piezoelectric layer; and bending the metal plate member at a bending portion adjacent to the piezoelectric layer while the temperature is lowered from the elevated temperature after forming the piezoelectric layer.
