As the magnetic disk device is mounted on a notebook type personal computer or the like, downsizing and high density recording are required. In order to deal with higher density, a magnetic disk as a recording medium uses a medium having a high coercive force, and has a high magnetization reversal density, a track recording density, and a linear recording density. In a magnetic head, a magnetic metal thin film of Fe—Al—Si or the like is formed on a head core of Mn—Zn single crystal ferrite to increase the coercive force of the medium, narrow the track width to narrow the track, and reduce the gap length. By doing so, high density recording is dealt with. On the other hand, the flying height of the magnetic head is as low as 0.05 to 0.1 μm for high density recording, and the slider is also downsized. Further, as one method for obtaining stable constant low flying characteristics, a depth of 10 μm and a width of 10 μm are provided on both sides of an air bearing as shown in FIG.
Air bearings having a step difference of 0 μm and an average surface roughness of 50 to 70 Å are beginning to be used. For stable constant levitation characteristics, the side surface 37 of the air bearing and the bottom portion 36 of the step are
The R-shape of the corner formed by a and 36b is as small as possible, and the angle formed by the side surface and the bottom of the air bearing should be close to a right angle. However, in the conventional grinding method using a cup-shaped grindstone, an air bearing having a required shape cannot be manufactured due to the restriction of the shape of the grindstone. The size of R of the blade edge 64 of the cup-shaped grindstone shown in FIG. 6 is about 30 μm at the minimum.
Remove the glass with the head core fixed in the slit and remove it by 70Å
It is necessary to add a grinding allowance of about 20 μm to finish the surface with an average surface roughness. If the depth of the step after finishing the air bearing is 10 μm, the corner formed by the air bearing and the step becomes an arc shape having a large curvature, as shown in FIG. Further, ion milling in which an ion beam such as Ar is applied to the surface of the treated material and the atoms are blown off by impact, chemical etching with a chemical reagent such as hydrochloric acid, phosphoric acid, laser processing, etc. are conceivable, but they are necessary. It is not possible to form a step in shape. Further, it requires large-scale equipment, has low production efficiency, and is not suitable for a slider for mass production.
