Three sub-25 nm fly height sliders are presented for near contact reco
rding, The designs are geared towards the goal of achieving 10Gb/in(2)
areal density. The optimization procedure presented shows promise for
facilitating achievement of this goal. The dynamic simulations show t
he stability of these designs when disturbed from their steady state c
onditions.
