Claim Text:
1. A structure comprising: an air bearing surface; said air bearing surface comprising a plurality of material layers; said plurality of material layers being arranged in at least one dimension on said air bearing surface; a microelectronic device; said microelectronic device comprising at least one of said plurality of material layers; a resistive heating element; said resistive heating element comprising at least one of said plurality of material layers; said resistive heating element being electrically isolated from said microelectronic device; and said microelectronic device being heated by said resistive heating element; said microelectronic device and said resistive heating element being separated by an effective distance such that, for a predetermined level of bias current passed through said resistive heating element, said microelectronic device is heated at least to an effective temperature whereat relative humidity at that region of said air bearing surface where said microelectronic device is located is reduced below a predetermined humidity threshold; said microelectronic device and said resistive heating element being distinct structures; said resistive heating element comprising a thin film resistor; said resistive heating element being one of a plurality of resistive heating elements; at least two of said plurality of resistive heating elements being powered from a common source such that said at least two of said plurality of resistive heating elements are commonly controllable via said common source; a tape; said tape being movable in said at least one dimension; said tape being elevated above said air bearing surface; said microelectronic device and said resistive heating element being packaged together as a module; said microelectronic device comprising a tape writer; said tape writer being configured for writing to said tape; said tape writer comprising a first electromagnetic pole element and a second electromagnetic pole element; and said first electromagnetic pole element and said second electromagnetic pole element being separated by a write gap.
