    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a composite thin-film slider, which is projected onto a substrate, by which a magnetic space between a read/write(R/W) device and a recording medium is reduced, and which has the projecting-shaped R/W device formed by chemical-mechanical polishing. SOLUTION: A slider has a substrate 502 and a R/W device 504, and the R/W device further has an insulator 600 and various conductive R/W components 605. These components consist of multiple shields 601, 602, an MR band 603 and a polar chip 604. The slider has an approximately uniform film (such as the layer of a carbon base) covering the substrate and the R/W device for protection from abrasion, contamination, damage, etc. The front section of the R/W device can also be thinned and removed as required. The R/W device is projected to a section upper than the extended surface of the bearing surface of the substrate, and the R/W device can be brought extremely near to a recording medium at the time of the operation of the slider.
