Abstract
An integrated head/flexure/conductor structure for the reading and writing of information with respect to a relatively moving medium, such as a disk or drum, and a method for manufacturing the same. The proposed structure takes the form of a micro-dimension, elongate, dielectric flexure body, and embedded within such body both magnetic read/write pole structure, and electrical coil and conductor structure operatively associated with the pole structure. The flexure body and the embedded constitutes are formed on an atom-by-atom basis utilizing one or more conventional material-deposition processes. The method of the invention is employable, as well, to create, for example, various read/write structural components or units which may be less than a fully integrated read/write head/flexure/conductor structure.
