Patent ID: 7567410

Claim:
A flexure for a head/gimbal assembly suspension comprising: a metal base layer including two outrigger beams, a first crossbeam disposed between the two outrigger beams at a trailing end of the base layer, a second crossbeam disposed between the two outrigger beams, a base layer window disposed between the first and second crossbeams; a flexure tongue, including a slider mounting surface, extending from the second crossbeam, and a heat sink portion; a trace layer disposed over the base layer and including a plurality of conductive traces, each conductive trace having a curved section that terminates in a trace termination pad, each trace termination pad having an edge disposed closest to the flexure tongue; and a dielectric layer disposed between the trace and base layers and including a portion underlying the edges of the trace termination pads and overlying the heat sink portion, and a dielectric layer window disposed between the first and second crossbeams of the base layer; wherein the curved section of each conductive trace extends over the base layer window.
