Abstract :
Manufacturing processes and improved designs for rigid disk drive heads have been developed to take advantage of the properties of single-crystal ferrite. The processes allow photolithographic patterning of air-bearing surface features, creation of features with controlled depth, and laser track trimming without thermal damage or redeposition
