摘要:
An integrated suspension for a slider in a magnetic record system has a simplified structure relatively easy to manufacture. This new integrated suspension is assembled from separate pieces including a load beam a flexure and a mount plate. The flexure includes a flexible member and a conductive lead integrally formed thereon. Since the flexible member is of super-thin type, the flexion of the flexure is minimized by the support using a platform support in an ultrasonic bonding of its conductive lead with a bonding pad of the slider. Besides, to minimize the deflection, an ultrasonic bonding is executed in close order of distance to support portion. Furthermore, a tab extending from the tip of the load beam is used so as not to affect the flexure regarded as a fine piece.

Embodiments of the invention relate to making reconnection when a soldered connection fails in a head/slider used in a magnetic disk drive. In one embodiment, a solder mass deposited on a slider pad of a head/slider is separated from a lead pad and a solder ball connection is yet to be made between the slider pad and the lead pad. A shaping tip is heated to a temperature near a melting point of a solder. The shaping tip is moved in parallel with a surface of the slider pad toward the side of the lead pad to soften the solder mass. The solder mass is thereafter irradiated with a laser beam so as to form a solder fillet, thereby making a soldered connection between the lead pad and the slider pad.

An apparatus joins bonding pads of a slider and lead pads of lead wires in a head gimbals assembly to improve efficiency, downsizing, and maintenance of solder-ball disposing devices, and solder-ball reflow devices for reflowing solder balls. The solder-ball disposing apparatus discharges solder balls from solder-ball discharging holes of a solder-ball feeder unit which are evacuated by a suction pad. An environmental space and an inert-gas supply portion for forming inactive atmosphere are formed on a table to eliminate an inert-gas supply unit from an optical unit, so that converged laser beams are directly radiated onto the solder balls.

A plurality of bonding pads formed on a slider are integrally joined to an elastic flexure for a disk drive suspension. The pads are ultrasonically bonded to the slider with leads that are held by the flexure. The bonding portions of the leads face and are pressed against the pads with ultrasonic waves. The leads are plastically deformed during these steps to prevent the flexure from being deformed after the ultrasonic bonding process.

A head gimbal assembly, which is a component of a hard disk drive, has a bending portion that has elasticity and is bent at a predetermined angle under an unloaded condition, and a slider is bonded to a holding portion thereof by mounting the head gimbal assembly on a bonding jig in a state in which the bending portion is stretched. When the head gimbal assembly is separated from the bonding jig after bonding, the bending portion is not restored freely, so that the head gimbal assembly is caught by the bonding jig during the separating process and a locked state is sometimes established.

In devices for solder-ball bonding of a bonding pad of a slider of a head gimbal assembly to a lead pad of a lead, although a device that can perform (1) the supply of solder balls, (2) the positioning of a solder ball, (3) the blowing of nitrogen gas N2, and (4) the melting of the solder ball by laser radiation in one device is available, there are various problems that cannot improve the efficiency of laser radiation, maintenance, or operation efficiency, due to spatial restriction, difficulty of weight reduction, or fixed operation procedures. A solder-ball holder and an optical device are configured separately, and a vacuum pad is provided. A solder ball held in a solder-ball holding hole of the solder-ball holder is transported by the vacuum pad to a connecting portion of a head gimbal assembly, and solder reflow is carried out by the optical device.

A set of bonding pads are ultrasonically connected to a set of leads. The bonding pads are formed on a predetermined plane of a slider held by a slider holder accessible to the recording plane of a disk in a disk drive. The leads are held by the slider holder and have joints that are formed so as to respectively face each of the bonding pads. A front end plane of a wedge working on the joints is tilted in a direction in which the first sides of the joints correspond to external connection sides. The ultrasonic connection is completed by pressing the joints of the leads against the faced boding pads.

The present invention enhances the reliability of wire-bonding strength by reducing a variation in the entire transformation amount of a wire. At point P1, a bonding wedge 21 abuts the wire 71, whereby a load is exerted on the wire 71. The wire 71 transforms by an amount of transformation A, and the transformation stops at point P2. The transformation amount A varies greatly. At point P3 (T1), ultrasonic wave vibration is exerted and the transformation of the wire 71 is restarted. At this stage, a variation in the transformation amount A is absorbed by an amount of transformation B and therefore a variation in the transformation amount A+B becomes small. At point P4 (T1+T2), the transformation amount A+B is maintained substantially constant. At this point P4, the transformation amount of the wire 71 is set to 0 and the measurement of the transformation amount of the wire 71 is started. And until the transformation amount of the wire 71 reaches an amount of transformation C (point P5), a load and ultrasonic wave vibration are given.

A method for connecting electrical parts The method includes retaining a piece of metal within a nozzle, supplying inert gas to the nozzle, and irradiating the retained piece of metal with a light source while the supplied inert gas flows from apertures in the nozzle. The metal is melted by the light source. The method also includes ejecting the melted metal from the nozzle by the supplied inert gas onto electrical parts.
