MAGNETIC HEAD SLIDER, ITS MANUFACTURE AND MAGNETIC RECORDER

PURPOSE: To reduce an adhesion force produced on a slider by a method wherein water-repellent surfaces are formed around the surfaces of the slider which are brought into contact with a disc. CONSTITUTION: Gimbals 1-1 and 1-2 for the flexible support are formed on the tip of a suspension 1 and a slider 2 is put on the center parts of the gimbals. A magnetic conversion element 3 for recording and reproduction is mounted on the suspension root side of the slider 2. In order to record and reproduce signals by sliding continuously on a magnetic disc medium 7 which is a magnetic recording medium, the slider 2 has, for instance, sliding pads 4-1, 4-2 and 5 at three positions. The magnetic conversion element 3 is contained in the sliding pad 5. The slider 2 is made of Al2 O3 -TiC and a very thin carbon film which has the high sliding characteristics is applied to the surface of the sliding pad 4-1. Further, water-repellent and oil-repellent treatment films 6 are applied to the side surfaces of the three sliding pads by an ion implantation method with introduced fluorine.
