ABSTRACT:
A slider manufacturing method includes: providing a row bar constructed from multiple slider bodies having a surface for forming an air bearing surface (ABS); forming multiple cutting lines on the surface for forming an ABS of the row bar; forming a stress absorption region adjacent to the cut line in a cutting region defined by two adjacent cutting lines; grinding the surface for forming an ABS of the row bar; and cutting the row bar along the cutting lines to form multiple individual sliders. When the row bar is cut by a cutter into multiple individual sliders along the cutting lines, stress generated in the cutting region adjacent to cutting lines during cutting is partly or fully absorbed by the stress absorption region, reducing the chances of clear edge jumps forming at the edges of the ABS of the slider after the cutting, and disk surface scratching by the slider.
