Electrostatic discharge (ESD) effects on GMR recording heads have been reported as the major cause of head failure. Since the information density in hard-disk drives has dramatically increased, the GMR head will be no longer in use. The tunneling magnetoresistive (TMR) read heads are initially introduced for a 100 Gbit/in2 density or more. Though the failure mechanism of ESD in GMR recording heads has not been explicitly understood in detail, a study to protect from this effect has to be done. As the TMR head has been commercially started, the ESD effect must be considered. This is the first time that the TMR equivalent circuit has been reported in order to evaluate the ESD effect. A standard human body model (HBM) is discharged across R+ and R- where the capacitances of flex on suspension (FOS) are varied. It is intriguingly found that the electrical characteristics of the TMR head during the discharge period depend on the discharge position. This may be explained in terms of the asymmetry impedance of TMR by using adapted Thevenin's theory. The effect of FOS components on TMR recording heads is also discussed.

This paper, on the basis of the electrostatic discharge test of mobile user terminals and electrostatic parameters measurement of human body, got electrostatic potential of human body in different condition. The results show that the main factors effecting human body electrostatic are environmental relative humidity, humans dressing, human activities and so on. Then error between the experimental measurement data and the theoretical analysis result are analyzed. Finally proposed some protective measures according to the harm of human body electrostatic to mobile user terminal.
