A disk drive comprising a rotor, to which a disk and a plurality of magnets are
fixed, and an open-slot type integrally molded stator disposed about an outer periphery
of the magnets, and wherein the stator comprises coils formed by etching metallic
films on teeth. The invention may also be applied to a closed-slot type stator.
With either type, it is possible to produce an opening that is equal to or smaller
than the thickness of a coil wire and cogging torque is minimized.
