Abstract

Implementations described and claimed herein include a method for manufacturing monolithically-integrated on-slider hybridized electronics for magnetic read/write. The method includes forming a slider body, excising a void in a surface of the slider body, monolithically integrating an electronic block into the void of the slider body, polishing the surface of the slider body, and depositing functional layers on the surface of the slider body. By integrating electronics in close proximity to transducers, operational performance and functionality may be gained.
