Claims
- 1. A slider for use in optical or magneto optical data storage system, for supporting a device, comprising:
- an underside including an air bearing surface and a recessed region;
- said recessed region receiving the device without significantly affecting the aerodynamic characteristic of said air bearing surface;
- a leading edge, and a trailing edge having a width;
- a channel extending from the recessed region along substantially the entire depth of the trailing edge; and
- wherein said recessed region is located along substantially the entire width of said trailing edge.
- 2. A slider according to claim 1, wherein said air bearing surface is substantially flat.
- 3. A slider according to claim 1, wherein said air bearing surface further includes at least one side rail.
- 4. A slider according to claim 1, wherein the device includes an underside; and wherein said device underside is substantially flush relative to said air bearing surface.
- 5. A slider according to claim 1, wherein said underside further includes a taper; and
- wherein the width of said taper is approximately 15 mils;
- wherein the width of said recessed region is approximately 39 mils; and
- wherein the depth of said recessed region is approximately 3.5 mils.
- 6. A slider according to claim 1, wherein the device includes a conductor that extends along said recessed region.
- 7. A slider according to claim 1, wherein the device includes a conductor that extends along said channel.
- 8. A slider according to claim 7, further including a second channel formed at an angle relative to said channel.
- 9. A slider according to claim 1, wherein said air bearing surface is patterned.
- 10. A slider according to claim 1, wherein the device includes a magnetic assembly.
- 11. A slider according to claim 1, wherein the device includes an electro-magnetic assembly.
- 12. A slider according to claim 1, wherein the device includes an electronic component.
- 13. A slider according to claim 1, wherein the device includes an amplifier.
- 14. A slider according to claim 1, wherein the channel divides said trailing edge into two sub-regions.
- 15. A slider according to claim 14, wherein the device is secured to one said two sub-regions; and
- wherein said conductor extends through said channel.
