Abstract: This paper deals with a practical methodology to optimize a reading probe of data storage devices using polarization in electric field. The tip and angle of probe pole between a probe and a medium are adopted and identified as significant design variables that have an effect on the polarization direction. The proposed sensitivity function and optimum resistive reading probe shape in the electric recording devices could be obtained by using Response Surface Method and Finite Element Method.

Keywords: Electrical recording, reciprocity principles, response surface method, resistive reading probe
