Patent ID: 7359155

Claim:
A femto slider which is substantially rectangular and has a disc facing surface with an air inflow end at one end in a longitudinal direction thereof and an air outflow end at another end in the longitudinal direction thereof, the femto slider comprising: a first positive pressure-generating section which is disposed near the air inflow end of the disc facing surface; a pair of second positive pressure-generating sections which are disposed separately in a breadth direction of the disc facing surface orthogonal to the longitudinal direction in a side of the air outflow end, the pair of second positive pressure-generating sections being separated from the first positive pressure-generating section of the disc facing surface, wherein a size from an end of each of the pair of second positive pressure-generating sections in a side of the air outflow end to the air outflow end on the disc facing surface is 20% or more of a size in the longitudinal direction of the disc facing surface; a negative pressure-generating section which is disposed in an air outflow end side from the first positive pressure-generating section of the disc facing surface; and a third positive pressure-generating section which is disposed in an air outflow end side from the negative pressure-generating section of the disc facing surface and has a maximum size, which is 25.0% or less of a longitudinal size of the disc facing surface, in a same direction as the longitudinal direction and a maximum size, which is 45.0% or more and 57.1% or less of a breadth size of the disc facing surface, in a direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction, the third positive pressure-generating section being accompanied by an intermediate step in a side of the negative pressure-generating section.
