Abstract
A method includes performing a cleaning process. The cleaning process includes measuring a thickness value of a contaminant on a slider. It is determined whether the thickness value is greater than a target thickness. If it is determined that the thickness is greater than the target thickness, the slider is cleaned based on the measured thickness value. The cleaning process is iteratively repeated until the thickness value is less than or equal to the target thickness.
