    摘要: Bioluminescent imaging has proven to be a valuable tool for monitoring physiological and pathological activities at cellular and molecular levels in living small animals. Using biological techniques, target cells can be tagged with reporters which generate characteristic photons in a wide spectrum covering the infra-red range. Part of the diffused light can reach the body surface of a subject/specimen (e.g., a small animal), be separated into several spectral bands using optical means, and collected by a sensitive camera. Systems and methods are disclosed herein for multi-spectral bioluminescence tomography (MBLT), in which an image of an underlying 3D bioluminescent source distribution is synergistically reconstructed from spectrally resolved datasets externally measured. This MBLT process involves two or multiple imaging modalities that produce structural information of the object and optical properties of the object as well to enable and improve the quality of MBLT.

    摘要: A method using a CMP resistant hardmask in a process of fabricating a pole piece for a magnetic head is described. A set of layers used as the mask for milling the pole piece preferably includes a CMP resistant hardmask of silicon dioxide, a resist hardmask, an upper hardmask and a photoresist mask respectively. A multi-step reactive-ion etching (RIE) process is preferably used to sequentially remove the excess materials in the layer stack to ultimately define the multilayer mask for the pole piece. The excess pole piece material is then milled away. The wafer is then refilled with a nonmagnetic material such as alumina. A CMP liftoff is used to remove the resist hardmask. The material for the CMP resistant hardmask is selected to have a high resistance to the CMP liftoff process in comparison to the refill material. The CMP resistant hardmask is preferably then removed by a RIE process.

    摘要: A method is described for thin film processing using a selected CMP slurry with a silicon dioxide stop layer. The slurry includes an abrasive, preferably alumina, a corrosion inhibitor, preferably benzotriazole (BTA), and an oxidizer preferably hydrogen peroxide. The method is particularly useful for fabricating thin film heads where alumina is used as the dielectric. The method can be used to planarize metal structures surrounded by alumina in magnetic heads. The alumina refill is deposited to the final target height which is slightly below the height of the metal. A thin silicon dioxide stop layer is deposited over the alumina. The CMP is executed using the selected slurry to planarize the wafer down to the stop layer. Preferably only a negligible amount of the stop layer remains and the height of the metal structure is essentially the same as the deposited height of the refilled alumina.

    摘要: A chemical-mechanical nanogrinding process achieves near-zero pole tip recession (PTR) to minimize magnetic space loss of the head transducer to media spacing loss, alumina recession/trailing edge profile variation, and smooth surface finish with minimal smearing across multi-layers of thin films and the hard substrate to meet the requirements of high areal density head. With a fine lapping plate with a fixed-abrasive nanogrinding process, PTR can be improved to a mean of about 1.0 nm.

    摘要: During planarization of wafers, the thickness of a layer of a wafer is measured at a number of locations, after the wafer has been planarized by chemical mechanical polishing. The thickness measurements are used to automatically determine, from a center to edge profile model to which the measurements are fit, a parameter that controls chemical mechanical polishing, called “backside pressure.” Backside pressure is determined in some embodiments by a logic test based on the center-to-edge profile model, coefficient of determination R-square of the model, and current value of backside pressure. Note that a “backside pressure” set point is adjusted only if the fit of the measurements to the model is good, e.g. as indicated by R-square being greater than a predetermined limit. Next, the backside pressure that has been determined from the model is used in planarizing a subsequent wafer.
