Abstract:
A method of forming a slider includes forming a leading edge blend on a leading edge of the slider. After the leading edge blend is formed, the method further includes forming at least one step feature conformal to the leading edge blend. A slider having an air bearing surface includes a leading edge blend and at least one step feature conformal to the leading edge blend.
