Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to slider assemblies for magnetic heads of magnetic recording devices. In one aspect, a slider assembly for magnetic recording devices includes a slider and an anti-reflection coating (ARC) structure disposed on the slider. The ARC structure includes an outer surface facing away from the slider, and a recess extending into the outer surface to define a recessed surface. The slider assembly includes a soldered structure disposed on the recessed surface and at least partially in the recess of the ARC structure. In one aspect, a method of forming a slider assembly includes forming an anti-reflection coating (ARC) structure on a slider. The ARC structure includes an outer surface facing away from the slider. The method includes forming a recess in the ARC structure, and forming a solder structure on a recessed surface and at least partially in the recess of the ARC structure.
