摘要:
An elastic plate connected at both ends to a pair of supporting pieces of a supporting portion and connected at center to a member forming a load beam portion functions as a load bending portion. A balance mass member is mounted on a portion of the member forming the load beam portion positioned on a base-end side from the elastic plate. A narrowest portion of the supporting portion is positioned, with respect to the suspension lengthwise direction, between a position of a base-end of a concave portion defined the pair of supporting pieces and a position where phantom lines extending from inner side edges of arm areas of the supporting pieces intersect with a longitudinal center line of the suspension, thereby effectively reducing mass of tip-end side of the supporting portion without deteriorating rigidity of the supporting pieces.

There is provided a magnetic head suspension including: a flexure portion which has a magnetic head mount area for supporting a magnetic head slider; a load bend portion which generates a load for pressing the magnetic head slider to a storage surface of a storage medium; a load beam portion which transmits the load to the magnetic head mount area; and a base portion which supports a base end region of the load bend portion. The load beam portion integrally includes a body in which at least a tip end portion thereof extends along a first plane approximately in parallel with the storage surface of the storage medium, and a lift tab extending forward from the tip end portion. The lift tab includes an engaging portion extending along a second plane which is approximately in parallel with the first plane and is positioned upper than the first plane so as to be spaced apart from the storage surface of the storage medium, and an inclined portion extending between the tip end portion of the body and the engaging portion. The load beam portion further includes a pair of flanges on both side edges in a width direction. The pair of side edges are positioned at least over the tip end portion and the inclined portion.

There is provided a magnetic head suspension including a flexure portion which has a magnetic head mount area for supporting a magnetic head slider, a load bend portion which generates a load for pressing the magnetic head slider to a storage surface of a storage medium, a load beam portion which transmits the load to the magnetic head mount area; and a base portion which supports the load bend portion. The load beam portion includes a base end area which is continuously connected with the load bend portion, an intermediate area which extends from the base end area toward a tip end side, and a tip end area which extends from the intermediate area toward the tip end side and reaches the magnetic head mount area. The base end area has first side edges tilted so as to gradually approach a central longitudinal axis line of the magnetic head suspension as the first side edges go toward the tip end side. The intermediate area has second side edges continuously connected with the first side edges and configured so as to be substantially parallel with the central longitudinal axis line or to be tiled to gradually approach the central longitudinal axis line as the second side edges go toward the tip end side. The first side edges have a larger tilt angle with respect to the central longitudinal axis line in comparison with the second side edges. The load beam portion has reinforcement structures at positions same as inflection points, where the first side edges and the second side edges intersect each other, in a central longitudinal axial direction.

A support structure for a magnetic head slider for reading/writing includes: (a) a wiring flexure including: (i) a plate substrate having a distal end and a proximal end and having an opening at the proximal end; (ii) an insulating layer formed on the plate substrate and having at least one through-hole at its proximal end; (iii) a conductor layer formed on the insulating layer; and (iv) a protection layer formed on the conductor layer and having at least one through-hole at its distal end; (b) a load beam having two sides through which an aperture is formed; and (c) an arm having a distal end where the load beam is supported. The wiring flexure passes through the aperture of the load beam and is fixed at a position between its distal end and its proximal end.

The invention provides a magnetic head suspension of an integrated wiring arrangement type which has an increased mechanical property and which may be produced at high yield efficiency. The invention eliminates bowing or warping from stainless steel plate subsequently constituting load beam or flexure, by obviating the step of unwinding or winding stainless steel plate. In a magnetic head suspension according to the invention, a flexure 2, having a thickness less than that of a load beam 1 and a rigidity less than that of the load beam 1, is bonded to one surface of the load beam 1, having a predetermined rigidity, through a bonding layer 14 of a flexible resin. An insulation layer 71 of a flexible resin is formed on the surface of the flexure 2 opposite to the surface facing to the load beam 1. The insulation layer 71 extends from the proximal end portion of the flexure 2 to the distal end portion of the flexure 2. A wiring arrangement 4 is formed on the insulation layer 71. The wiring arrangement 4 is connected to a magnetic head slider disposed at the distal end portion of the flexure 2.

A method for making a three dimensional structure of the aperture in a photoresist layer on a semiconductor substrate by differentiating dose of exposure light between parts of a photoresist layer. One example of the three dimensional structure is an overhang-platform structure; that is, one side wall of a narrow aperture has an overhang and the opposite side wall has a platform. By separately forming one photoresist layer segment having the overhang wall and the other photoresist layer segment having the platform wall, the distance between the edges of the overhang and the platform can be made smaller than the resolution limit of the photoresist material, which enables making a path line on a substrate whose width is smaller than the resolution limit. Many types of photoresist layers and photomasks for producing such photoresist layers are disclosed.
