ABSTRACT:
An improved slider design with stiction reduction pads is presented along with a method of making the same. In one embodiment, the bases for the stiction reduction pads are made first during an etching process for the air bearing surfaces, then the stiction reduction pads are made higher so as to prevent unwanted contacted between the air bearing surface and the disc as well as reducing meniscal forces that can be caused by a lubricant on the disc.
