Abstract
The present invention discloses a new kind of multi layer suspension and a method for making this. The multi-layer suspension of the present invention is comprised of a rectangular base plate section, a load beam and a flexure. The load beam can be further divided into a bending area adjacent to the base plate and a rigid area contiguous to the bending section. The suspension assembly is made up of three layers, wherein an adhesive layer is sandwiched between two stainless steel layers with parts of one of the stainless steel layers being etched off. The structure of the multi-layer suspension of the present invention overcomes the problems of etching variations and misalignment that exist in the traditional production of the suspension.
