The head element is embedded in the element embedded film. The recesses are distributed in a predetermined area formed on the trailing end surface of the element embedded film.

Claims (24)

1 . A head slider comprising:

a slider main body;

an element embedded film;

a head element embedded in the element embedded film; and

a plurality of recesses in a predetermined area formed on a trailing end surface of the element embedded film.

2 . The head slider according to claim 1 , further comprising a cover film formed on the trailing end surface of the element embedded film and configured to have surface free energy that is higher than surface free energy of the element embedded film.

3 . The head slider according to claim 1 , further comprising a heat generating element embedded in the element embedded film along the trailing end surface.

4 . A storage device comprising the head slider according to claim 1 .

5 . A head slider comprising:

a slider main body;

an element embedded film;

a head element embedded in the element embedded film; and

a plurality of projections in a predetermined area formed on a trailing end surface of the element embedded film, the projections configured to be adjacent to each other to define a flow path for lubricant.

6 . The head slider according to claim 5 , further comprising a cover film formed on the trailing end surface of the element embedded film and configured to have surface free energy that is higher than surface free energy of the element embedded film.

7 . The head slider according to claim 5 , further comprising a heat generating element embedded in the element embedded film along the trailing end surface.

8 . A storage device comprising the head slider according to claim 5 .

9 . A head slider comprising:

a slider main body;

an element embedded film;

a head element embedded in the element embedded film; and

at least one groove formed inside a periphery of a trailing end surface of the element embedded film, the groove configured to define a flow path for lubricant.

10 . The head slider according to claim 9 , further comprising a cover film formed on the trailing end surface of the slider main body and configured to have surface free energy that is higher than surface free energy of the element embedded film.

11 . The head slider according to claim 9 , further comprising a heat generating element embedded in the element embedded film along the trailing end surface.

12 . A storage device comprising the head slider according to claim 9 .
