Abstract
This paper presents a novel micro-machined dual slider-suspension design fo r near-contact/contact recording and discusses a few crucial issues for thi s type of designs, including the shock/adhesion-induced deflection of micro -suspension and vibrations of a secondary slider which uses a partial conta ct air bearing, The work is aimed to provide a reliable, durable and stable mechanical head-disk interface of 5-15 nm spacing and to support 30 simila r to 40 Gb/in(2) areal densities or beyond magnetic recording.
