Abstract

See full text

A production apparatus is provided for producing a near field optical head that includes, during its production process, a substrate, at least one protuberance extending from a surface of the substrate, an electrically conductive shielding film covering the protuberance and the substrate, and a parent film, as a mother material for an air bearing, covering the shielding film. The production apparatus has an etchant for etching the parent film and a container for storing the etchant and for containing the substrate, the shielding film, and the parent film so that the substrate, the shielding film, and the parent film are immersed in the etchant. At least one electrode is fixedly mounted in the container so as to be immersed in the etchant. A measuring device measures an electrical characteristic between the electrode and the shielding film.
