ABSTRACT:
A slider comprises a slider body and a head element. The slider body has an air bearing surface, an air inflow end and an air outflow end. The air bearing surface has: a first surface including two portions extending in a direction of air passage; a second surface including a portion disposed between the two portions of the first surface; and a third surface located closer to the air outflow end than the first surface is. The first surface and the second surface have such a difference in level that the second surface is located farther from a recording medium than the first surface is. The difference in level varies gradually so as to increase with decreasing distance from the air outflow end. A method of manufacturing the slider includes forming a slider material containing a portion to be the slider body and the head element, and processing the material so as to form the air bearing surface.
