摘要： An apparatus and method for evaluating surface characteristics of a recording disc prior to incorporation into a disc drive. A glide test system includes a glide test head supportable over the disc, the glide test head having a negative-pressure air bearing slider and a contact sensor which outputs a signal when the glide test head contacts a feature of the disc surface. The glide test head and the disc are characterized as opposing plates of a variable capacitor with a dielectric layer therebetween including at least a layer of air supporting the glide test head. A voltage source, operably coupled to the glide test head and the disc, applies a fly height control voltage across the capacitor to adjust the fly height of the glide test head. The disc surface preferably comprises a data region configured to magnetically store data as the disc is rotated and a texturized landing zone configured to support the disc drive read/write head when the disc is stopped. The voltage source accordingly applies a first fly height control voltage to maintain the glide test head at a first glide distance over the data region and a second fly height control voltage to maintain the glide test head at a second, greater glide distance over the landing zone.

摘要： A magnetic data storage medium is provided that has a substrate surface with regularly spaced, continuous ridges and grooves thereby to enhance the magnetic layer crystallization orientation. Data storage tracks extend longitudinally along the ridges, the grooves between adjacent ridges providing separation between data tracks on either side of each ridge. To form the substrate surface a focused laser beam is continuously applied to the substrate in a path of generally circumferential direction on the disk surface between inner and outer radii of a data storage zone while the substrate is rotated at a relatively constant first speed and the focused beam is moved radially at a relatively constant second speed.

摘要： A method of separating a sheet of a brittle material into portions by means of laser-scribing, comprising steps of: (a) providing a sheet of a brittle material having first and second opposing major surfaces separated by a thicknesst; (b) providing a source of laser energy adjacent said first surface, adapted for supplying a focussed beam of laser energy converging to a focal spot in a plane parallel to the first surface; (c) irradiating the sheet of brittle material with the focussed beam of laser energy, the plane of the focal spot of the beam initially being positioned within the sheet just below the first surface; and (d) continuing irradiating while simultaneously providing relative movement between the focal spot of the laser beam and the sheet to move the focal spot at a pre-selected rate and path extending over the first surface, and moving the depth of the plane of the focal spot at a pre-selected rate through a major portion of thickness t of the sheet to form a micro-crack zone extending along the pre-selected path from just below the first surface to a shallow depth just below the second surface.

摘要： Stiction failure of a magnetic recording medium is reduced by forming a lubricant topcoat having a first thickness over the landing zone greater than a second thickness over the data zone, with a sharp transition step having an angle of at least about 70° with respect to a line perpendicular to the surface. Embodiments include depositing a lubricant topcoat at a substantially uniform thickness and reducing the thickness of the lubricant topcoat over the data zone by about 20% to about 80% employing a laser light beam to volatilize the lubricant.

摘要： A reference disk, used to determine the glide height of a transducer head above the surface of a magnetic recording medium, is accurately formed by employing a laser light beam to produce protrusions on the reference disk. The protrusions can be formed in a variety of effective patterns to obtain a stable electrical signal. Embodiments include circumferential rows of uniformly or randomly spaced protrusions.
