We developed a thermal flying-height control (TFC) slider to control the flying height of magnetic recording heads. The slider basically consists of a small heater fabricated near the read/write element. This study discusses the effect of heater size and heater location on the change in the flying height at the read/write element. We also discuss the resulting temperature rise due to the additional...
To achieve ultra-low flying height, we have developed a thermal flying-height control (TFC) slider that carries a micro-thermal actuator. Using the actuator, the magnetic spacing of these sliders can be controlled in-situ while the drive is operating. The previous component-level prototype had insufficient actuator characteristics. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to improve the actuator...
