Abstract: A method for interconnecting multiple components of an electrical assembly with a solder joint, including the steps of positioning a first component adjacent to a second component to provide a connection area, dispensing a solid solder sphere to a capillary tube, wherein the capillary tube is positioned with an exit orifice above the connection area between the first and second components, applying a first laser through the capillary tube while measuring light from the first laser that reflects off the connection area as the solder sphere moves through the capillary tube, and applying a second laser to at least partially melt the solder sphere when the measured light decreases to a predetermined level and as the solder sphere falls from the exit orifice toward the connection area between the first and second components.

Abstract: Methods are described for forming a mounting surface on a slider body. In one method, an adhesion layer can be deposited on a top surface of a slider body. A first photolithography cycle deposits a first metal layer having a first thickness of at least 8 μm. A second photolithography cycle deposits a second metal layer having a second thickness of at least 8 μm over the first metal layer. The first and second layer form a mounting support on the top surface. In another method, the top surface is etched to form a mounting support.

Abstract: A magnetic recording head is provided including a body with a trailing surface, a plurality of bond pads in a row, each of which is spaced by a gap from an adjacent bond pad along a width of the trailing surface. Each bond pad includes a base layer having a top surface, a coating layer covering at least a portion of the top surface of the base layer, two side edges spaced from each other across a width of the bond pad, wherein a width of the gap between adjacent bond pads is defined by one side edge of each of two adjacent bond pads, a top edge extending between the two side edges, and at least one solder dam comprising a nonwettable, electrically conductive material positioned adjacent to the top edge of at least one of the bond pads.

Abstract: A method of interconnecting multiple components of an electrical assembly with a solder joint that includes the steps of positioning a suspension adjacent to a slider to provide a connection area between the suspension and the slider, wherein the suspension comprises a pre-deposited quantity of solder material with a height that provides for a predefined gap between a lower surface of the slider and an upper surface of the solder material, and applying energy to the solder material to melt the solder material and allow it to move toward and contact the lower surface of the slider.

Abstract: A slider includes a slider body with an air-bearing surface and a top surface opposing the air-bearing surface. A plurality of slider bond pads are disposed on or parallel to the top surface and proximate to or at a trailing edge of the slider. The plurality of slider bond pads have an exposed surface facing away from the top surface of the slider body. One or more mounting supports extend from the top surface to a distance of at least 12 μm above the exposed surface of the plurality of slider bond pads.

Abstract: A method of controlling a shape and size of at least one solder joint of a magnetic recording head that includes a trailing surface and a plurality of bond pads, wherein each bond pad comprises a base layer comprising a top surface and a top edge, the method including the steps of forming at least one solder dam by covering a portion of the top surface of the base layer of at least one of the bond pads with a coating layer that comprises a nonwettable, electrically conductive material positioned adjacent to the top edge of at least one of the bond pads, thereby defining a coated portion and an uncoated portion of the base layer, and applying solder material to the uncoated portion of the base layer adjacent to the solder dam so that the coating layer constrains movement of the solder material beyond the uncoated portion.

Abstract: A method for forming an electrical interconnection between a slider pad and a suspension pad that is adjacent to and positioned at an angle relative to the slider pad, which includes the steps of forming a solder bump on a first surface of the slider pad, reshaping the solder bump into a protrusion having an ellipsoidal shape that extends from the slider pad and contacts the suspension pad, and applying a laser to the ellipsoidal protrusion to reflow the solder bump while simultaneously applying a downward pressure to the solder bump in order to form a solder fillet between the slider pad and the suspension pad.
