Abstract: A near field transducer (NFT) having improved reliability is disclosed. In some embodiments, a NFT includes a resonator body layer having a front side at a first plane that is recessed a first distance from an air bearing surface (ABS), and a peg layer that is a single layer made of a noble metal or alloy thereof. The peg layer includes a peg portion or peg with a front side at the ABS, a back side at the first plane, and two sides aligned orthogonal to the ABS and separated by the first cross-track width. The peg portion or the peg having a single peg grain with or without a desired (111) orientation through laser self-annealing process.
Abstract: A flexure for a suspension of a head gimbal assembly includes a substrate layer, a dielectric layer formed thereon, a conducting layer formed on the dielectric layer, and an insulating cover layer covered on the conducting layer, wherein at least one window is configured at a surface of the insulating cover layer thereby a portion of the conducting layer is exposed, and an antistatic adhesive is adhered to at least one side wall of the window and contacted with the conducting layer. The new structure of the flexure can avoid or eliminate electro-static discharges enduringly without dipping water. A head gimbal assembly and a disk drive unit with the same, a manufacturing method for the flexure are also disclosed.

Abstract: A bonding method of row bars comprises step (1), attaching a flexible member on a flat bottom surface of a pressurized member; step (2), applying a wax layer on a support surface of a support device; step (3), disposing a row bar on the support surface with the wax layer; and step (4), controlling the pressurized member to fall down, so as to press and even out the row bar. The present invention can make the row bar obtain a desired bending degree that is beneficial to the subsequent lapping process, and in turn, improve the quality of the sliders produced from the row bar, and finally improve the read/write performance of the sliders.
