Abstract
Methods for providing a SAM (self-assembled monolayer) coating on a slider and subsequently removing a portion of the SAM coating. In one implementation, the method includes applying a SAM coating on at least a first surface of a slider and on a second surface of the slider opposite the first surface, and removing at least a portion of the SAM coating from the second surface by irradiating the second surface with UV radiation in a wavelength range of 100-200 nm.
