Abstract
A slider having a slider body having an air bearing surface, a leading edge and a trailing edge, and a transducer on the air bearing surface proximate the trailing edge, the transducer comprising a read sensor and a write sensor. The slider also has a heater, positioned proximate the transducer, and a continuous dielectric layer comprising a dielectric material having a coefficient of thermal conductivity of at least 20 W/m-K, the dielectric layer positioned adjacent to and in contact with the heater and between the heater and the transducer.
