It is an object of the invention to prevent a lapping member from being cut by an edge of a slider when the edge is chamfered by lapping it with the lapping member. A slider held by a slider holding jig according to the invention is put in contact with a diamond lapping sheet. A load applying portion moves weights provided in the form of a plurality of stages downward from a state in which the lower end of a shaft portion of the weight at the bottom stage is located above the slider holding jig without contacting the slider holding jig, thereby loading the slider holding jig with the weights sequentially from the bottom stage.

To provide a scanning probe microscope wherein the scanning means is not damaged by fluids, the scanning probe microscope 30 comprises a cantilever support part 2 for supporting a cantilever 1; displacement measurement parts 3, 4, 5 and 6 for measuring the displacement of the cantilever 1; a specimen container 11 comprising sidewalls 19 and bottom surface 18 and containing a fluid 10 and a specimen S; a carrying stage 40 on which the specimen container 11 is placed; and a scanning means 7 for moving and scanning the carrying stage 40. While the cantilever 1 is immersed in the fluid 10 that is contained in the specimen container 11, the carrying stage 40 is moved, and the displacement of the cantilever 1 is measured. The scanning probe microscope 30 further comprises a ring-shaped protective mat 50 that is capable of absorbing the fluid 10. A mounting mechanism 43 is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the carrying stage 40 for removably attaching the protective mat 50 by its inner peripheral area.

A slider has a rail with a medium facing surface. At least part of a lateral wall of the rail is located closer to a center of the slider than a lateral wall of the slider. First edges between the medium facing surface of each of the rails and the lateral wall of the rail and a second edge between the lateral wall of the slider and the medium facing surface are each blunt.

At the time of polishing an air bearing surface 12 the edge of the air bearing surface 12 is simultaneously beveled to form edge surfaces 14. The air bearing surface 12 is preferably constituted as a flat planar surface 121 having a tapered surface 122 continuous therewith at the air inflow end. In this case, defining the bevel width in regions IV located at the edge surfaces 14 at opposite sides in a direction perpendicular to the air inflow direction and extending in the vicinity of a ridge portion 131 between the central flat planar surface 121 and the tapered inflow end surface 122 and the bevel width in regions II located ahead of an interface 171 between the slider 1 and a thin-film transducer element 17 as I.sub.4 and I.sub.2 respectively, the bevel width of an air inflow end edge surface 14 (region V) continuous with the tapered inflow end surface 122 as I.sub.5 and the bevel width of opposite side edge surfaces 14 (region III) continuous with the central flat planar surface 121 as I.sub.3, (I.sub.4 -I.sub.5)/I.sub.5 is restricted to not more than 0.4, (I.sub.3 -I.sub.2)/I.sub.3 is restricted to not more than 0.2, the bevel width of all edge surfaces 14 is restricted to 4-20 .mu.m, or the bevel width range R thereof is restricted to not more than 5 .mu.m. By in this way restricting the bevel width of the edge surfaces 14 over the entire perimeter of the air bearing surface 12 so as to be highly uniform, there are realized marked improvements in flying stability, particularly a reduction in the variation in roll angle in the flying attitude.

For cleaning a wafer by a cleaning apparatus, a cleaning liquid is contained in a cleaning bath. Leaving two brushes open, the wafer is inserted to the cleaning bath, placed on oscillation and rotation rollers and retained by the rollers. The brushes are closed and the wafer is held by the brushes. Next, the two brushes are rotated while the wafer is oscillated and rotated by the rollers and so on. Furthermore, ultrasonic vibrations are applied to the cleaning liquid in the cleaning bath by an ultrasonic generator. Scrub cleaning with the two brushes and ultrasonic cleaning by ultrasonic vibrations are thereby performed on the wafer.
