Abstract

This paper describes the effects of slider behavior over patterned media. The flying characteristics of a slider over patterned media are different from slider flying behavior over conventional plane disk. In order to perform the most realistic simulation of slider flying characteristics over patterned disk surfaces, our simulation approach virtually distributes the grooves on the slider ABS instead of on the disk surface. Also, we define SSFA which is steady-state slider flying attitude. The results show that the more patterned size is small and height is large, the more increased SSFA is. Also if patterned distance is small, then SSFA is increased. In addition, we analyzed the effects of patterned shapes.
