Abstract
A method for manufacturing a head-gimbal assembly. The head-gimbal assembly includes a head-slider bonded to a suspension. The method includes placing the head-slider and the suspension in a superposed manner with a photo-thermosetting adhesive applied between the head-slider and the suspension. The method also includes heating the suspension from a side of the suspension opposite to a side of the suspension in contact with the photo-thermosetting adhesive with a heated gas-stream. In addition, the method includes irradiating the photo-thermosetting adhesive with light at least partly in a time period during which the suspension is heated by the gas-stream.
