摘要： A method of making a calibration disk for a laser based inspection tool (LIT) for inspecting planar surfaces is described. The calibration disk has a plurality of overlapping bumps forming a circular ring with a width of one bump. The circular ring of bumps forms a feature of a known width and position on a disk which can be used to adjust one or more LIT's to yield calibrated results. The ring of overlapping bumps is preferably formed by rotating a disk substrate under a stationary pulsing laser beam.

摘要： A laser based inspection tool (LIT) for inspecting planar surfaces is described. In a preferred embodiment the LIT can simultaneously inspect both planar surfaces of disks for use in disk drives. In one embodiment of the invention, a disk is moved into an inspection subcompartment between a pair of air knives which blow partially ionized air onto the planar sides of the disk to remove loose particles adhering thereto. After the disk moves through the air knife streams, the two laser beams scan the two sides of the disk. Preferably the scan occurs after the air knives have been turned off and as the disk moves out of the inspection subcompartment. The subcompartment may optionally have an air source which forces air to flow out of the subcompartment to aid in maintaining a clean environment for inspection.

摘要： A laser based inspection tool (LIT) for inspecting planar surfaces is described. In a preferred embodiment the LIT can simultaneously inspect both planar surfaces of disks for use in disk drives. The choice of a polygon scanner is preferred, but other scanning means such as a galvonometer mirror could be used. A separate polygon scanner is used for each side of the disk. The polygons are arranged in a common plane, but rotate in opposite directions to reduce the inteference which might otherwise result when the beams pass through the central hole in the disk and impinge on the detection channel for the other side. Preferably the rotation of the polygons is synchonized and angularly offset so that the two beams are synchonized and offset. The rotating polygons may conveniently be included in a system which scans each of the two laser beams through a telecentric lens assembly onto the surface and which routes the reflected light which passes back through the telecentric lens and is reflected from the polygons to the detection component.
