METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR THE PHYSICAL AND ELECTRICAL COUPLING OF A HARD DISK MICRO-ACTUATOR AND MAGNETIC HEAD TO A DRIVE ARM SUSPENSION

摘要

A system and method for the physical and electrical coupling of a hard disk micro-actuator and magnetic head to a drive arm's suspension using gold ball bonding (GBB) or solder bump bonding (SBB) to prevent problems of silver paste epoxy, such as physical deformation (viscosity) due to humidity/temperature alteration.
