    摘要: Read elements and associated methods of fabrication are disclosed. During fabrication of the read element, and more particularly, the fabrication of the hard bias magnets, a non-magnetic sacrificial layer is deposited on top of the hard bias material. When a CMP process is subsequently performed, the sacrificial layer is polished instead of the hard bias material. The thicknesses of the hard bias magnets are not affected by the CMP process, but are rather defined by the deposition process of the hard bias material. As a result, the variations in the CMP process will not negatively affect the magnetic properties of the hard bias magnets so that they are able to provide substantially uniform effective magnetic fields to bias the free layer of the magnetoresistance (MR) sensor of the read element.

    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: Methods for fabricating TMR and CPP GMR magnetic heads using a chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) process with a patterned CMP conductive protective layer for sensor stripe height patterning. The method comprises defining a stripe height of a read sensor of a magnetic head reader. The method further comprises refill depositing an insulator layer on the read sensor. The method further comprises performing a CMP process down to the conductive protective layer on the read sensor deposited while defining the read sensor to remove an overfill portion of the insulator layer above the conductive protective layer and to remove a sensor pattern masking structure on the conductive protective layer. As a result, the insulator layer is planarized and smooth with the read sensor, eliminating fencing and alumina bumps typically encountered in the insulator layer at the edge of the patterned sensor.
