Abstract
The invention discloses a manufacturing method of slider. The slider comprises an incline portion (6) connecting a read/write portion (24) disposed with a convex configuration on an air bearing surface opposite to a recording medium, and a concave portion (26) adjacent to an end thereof where airflow flows in. The incline portion (6) includes a first incline portion (61) with a substantially linear shape connected with a surface of the read/write portion (24) and a second incline portion (62) with substantially linear shape connected with the concave portion (26). A first incline angle θ1 of the concave portion (26) with respect to the first incline portion (61) is larger than a second incline angle θ2 of the concave portion (26) with respect to the second incline portion (62).
