Abstract
A method includes forming a single-crystal-like metal layer on a metal seed layer, the metal seed layer formed on a sacrificial wafer. An anchor layer is formed on the single-crystal-like metal layer. The single-crystal-like metal layer is separated from the sacrificial wafer via the anchor layer. The single-crystal-like metal layer is transported via the anchor layer to a target substrate having one or more recording head subassemblies. The single-crystal-like metal layer is joined with the recording head, the single-crystal-like metal layer being integrated with the recording head as a near-field transducer.
