A head slider which can suppress the adhesion of dust particles to its
flying surface. At least one air bearing portion and a land portion for
forming a vacuum area on the flying surface are provided on the flying
surface of the head slider. The land portion is formed in such a manner
as to have a difference in level so as to be closer by a step to a disk
medium than an end surface of the slider base. The water repellency of an
end surface of the land portion and the water repellency of the end
surface of the slider base are made higher than the water repellency of
the air bearing portion.The water repellency of the end surface of the
land portion is increased more than the that of the air bearing portion.
