Abstract	Heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) has become one of the leading approaches to increase the areal density in hard disk drives to several Tb/in². Laser-induced protrusion significantly impacts the HAMR heads' performance and lifetime. Nonetheless, the pointy local protrusion amount is hard to accurately quantify by touchdown sensors. Based on the previous indirect thermal-mechanical studies with different sensors and techniques, a new methodology is developed to measure the laser-induced protrusion by burnishing the head during writing with laser powered ON and by utilizing atomic force microscopy scans. This burnish method requires the air-bearing surface (ABS) to physically contact the rotating disk without an excessive overdrive, which relies on the precise settings of the touchdown sensors and the detection methods. The time dependence of the burnish behavior is studied. The results show that its time constant is much longer than the pure thermal and mechanical time constants. The repeatability of the experiment is validated. The local protrusion induced by the laser is in the range of 2-5 nm based on current head design. Accordingly, the detailed studies about heater power effects and protrusion amount as a function of laser power have been conducted. In addition, the impact of varying degrees of stiffness of the ABS is discussed.
