Slider and manufacturing method thereof, head gimbal assembly, disk drive with same

摘要

The invention discloses a manufacturing method of slider. The slider comprises an incline portion ( 6 ) connecting a read/write portion ( 24 ) disposed with a convex configuration on an air bearing surface opposite to a recording medium, and a concave portion ( 26 ) adjacent to an end thereof where airflow flows in. The incline portion ( 6 ) includes a first incline portion ( 61 ) with a substantially linear shape connected with a surface of the read/write portion ( 24 ) and a second incline portion ( 62 ) with substantially linear shape connected with the concave portion ( 26 ). A first incline angle theta1 of the concave portion ( 26 ) with respect to the first incline portion ( 61 ) is larger than a second incline angle theta 2 of the concave portion ( 26 ) with respect to the second incline portion ( 62 ).
