Abstract
One of the key issues for ESD protection in the GMR head gimbal assembly (HGA) and head stack assembly (HSA) processes is how to prevent "metal contact", i.e. the direct contact of the GMR sensor to metal. This paper describes a very effective method for better ESD protection in the HGA and HSA processes where the "metal contact" cannot be avoided.
