Abstract

A method of manufacturing thin-film magnetic transducers in which the transducers are deposited onto a substrate member adjacent a finished and lapped surface in a manner such that no further lapping of the slider rail adjacent the transducer is required during manufacture. The method includes forming recesses on the substrate member to define slider rails and then forming air bearing surfaces on each such rail.
