| 1. A method of manufacturing a slider, the method comprising:
providing a row bar constructed by a plurality of slider bodies which has a surface for forming an air bearing surface;
forming a plurality of cutting lines on the surface for forming the air bearing surface of the row bar;
forming a stress absorption region adjacent to a cutting line in a cutting region defined by two adjacent cutting lines;
grinding the surface for forming the air bearing surface of the row bar; and
cutting the row bar along the cutting lines to form a plurality of individual sliders,
wherein the stress absorption region is formed by forming at least one point scribe line for absorbing stress, the point scribe
line being closer to one cutting line of the two adjacent cutting lines than the other cutting line of the two adjacent cutting
lines.
