Abstract
The mechanical integrity of a thin-film disk drive is determined by co ntact start-stop (CSS) testing. Poor results in CSS testing are called either a wear or a stiction failure. Ambiguities are identified betwe en wear and stiction observations and properties of the head/disk inte rface that caused the failure. The CSS test results are categorized in to five wear and stiction regimes that are related to the physical pro perties of the head/disk interface.
