ABSTRACT:
A tape head read/write module that has a composite air bearing surface, and a method and apparatus for embedding a chip in a substrate to form a composite air bearing surface. An example of the module includes a substrate that has an air bearing surface, a front, a back, and a chip receiving slot. The air bearing surface of the substrate has a first portion adjoining a first side of the chip receiving slot, and a second portion adjoining a second side of the chip receiving slot. The module also includes a chip that has an air bearing surface, a bottom surface, a front, a back, and active elements. The active elements are located proximate the front of the chip. The chip is positioned in the chip receiving slot in the substrate, with the air bearing surface of the chip substantially aligned with the air bearing surface of the substrate.
