A thin film conductive line is formed between MR pads on an MR head for protecting an MR sensor from electrostatic discharge (ESD) during assembly steps between row level fabrication of the head and prior to merge of a head stack assembly with a disk stack assembly. The conductive line may have...http://www.google.es/patents/US5759428?utm_source=gb-gplus-sharePatente US5759428 - Method of laser cutting a metal line on an MR head
