Patent number: 6687976Abstract: The invention provides a method of manufacturing a magnetic head slider and fixing a bar which improves fabrication accuracy without increasing manufacturing costs. After thin film magnetic head devices are formed on a wafer, the wafer is cut into bars each including two or more magnetic head sliders. The bars are carried and mounted onto a suction plater. A surface of each bar to be processed is brought into direct contact with a suction surface of the suction plate, and is positioned in a plane parallel to the suction surface. An adhesive is applied to the surface of a support substrate. The surfaces opposite to the surfaces to be processed are pressed against the adhesive. The adhesive is allowed to set. Adhesive thickness varies according to variations in thicknesses of the bars. Therefore, the surfaces of the bars to be processed can be kept aligned with a reference plane.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2000Date of Patent: February 10, 2004Assignee: TDK CorporationInventors: Akinori Koyama, Kazuhiro Kobayashi
