摘要:
A method of rounding corners of a slider's trailing edge by applying at least a first voltage to terminals of a bending device coupled to the slider. The slider including terminals, possibly bending device and/or vertical micro-actuator. The flexure finger, head gimbal assembly, with trace path(s) to the terminals. The head stack assembly, embedded circuit, and hard disk drive applying at least first voltage when loading/unloading the head stack assembly from ramp. Manufacturing the slider, the flexure finger, the head gimbal assembly, the head stack assembly, the embedded circuit, and the hard disk drive, as well as these items as products of the invention's manufacturing processes.
摘要:
Slider used to access data on rotating disk in hard disk drive, including vertical micro-actuator using shape memory alloy film perpendicular to air bearing surface and coupled to deformation region including read-write head. Slider further includes vertical control signal stimulating heating element coupled to film and/or second vertical control signal stimulating second heating element to alter vertical position. Flexure finger including micro-actuator assembly for coupling to slider, and possibly providing vertical control signal(s) to heating element(s). Head gimbal assembly including flexure finger coupled to the slider. A head stack assembly including at least one of the head gimbal assemblies coupled to a head stack. Hard disk drive including head stack assembly. The invention includes manufacturing the slider, the head gimbal assembly, the head stack assembly, and the hard disk drive, as well as these items as products of the invention's manufacturing processes.
