  • Abstract
    The key slider fabrication processes such as roughness control on the ABS, curvature control and adjustment on the ABS, pole-tip recession (PTR) control and ICP reactive ion etching of AlTiC with CF4 are discussed in this paper. The optimized process results and the fabricated pic0 and femto sliders with 6 nm flying height are presented.
