Abstract

A lapping method of a MAMR head slider includes a first lapping process: controlling the lapping plate to spin at a first speed, and controlling the MAMR head slider to move at a first moving speed, and applying a first force to the MAMR head slider; and a second lapping process: controlling the lapping plate to spin at a second speed that is lower than the first speed, and controlling the MAMR head slider to move at a second moving speed that is lower than the first moving speed, and applying a second force that is lower than the first force to the MAMR head slider; and the second lapping process includes a final lapping process section, and the second force in the final lapping process being zero. In such a way, lapping marks on the ABS are reduced to improve the roughness and the reliability.
