    摘要: An apparatus and method for measuring the topographic profile of a reflective member having an index of refraction. The apparatus comprises a first optical system that reflects a light beam from the reflective member and detects the reflected light beam. A second optical system directs the light beam to interfere with the reflected light beam and detects the resulting interference pattern. A processor coupled to the first optical system and the second optical system computes the index of refraction of the reflective member from the detected reflected light beam and provides the topographic profile of the reflective member from the index of refraction and the interference pattern.

    摘要: An apparatus and method for measuring the space between a transparent member such as a substrate, and reflective member such as a slider. The apparatus includes a first optical system which detects a first light beam that is reflected from the substrate and the slider. The reflected light is separated into four separate beams. The intensities of the beams are detected and utilized to determine a first stokes parameter, a second stokes parameter, a third stokes parameter and a fourth stokes parameter of the reflected light. The stokes parameters are used to compute the real index of refraction n, extinction coefficient k and the thickness of the space. The four stokes parameters account for any depolarized light that is reflected from the slider. The first optical system may have a photodetector which detects an image of the slider. The image provides multiple data points that can be used to calculate n, k and the thickness of the air gap without a retract routine. The apparatus may also have a second optical system which detects a second light beam reflected from the substrate and the slider. The second optical system can be used to dynamically measure a thickness of the space. In the combined system the first optical system may accurately measure the n and k of a slider area while the second optical system dynamically measures the thickness of the air gap.

    摘要: A tooling fixture that holds a head gimbal assembly (HGA) of a hard disk drive within a piece of test equipment. The tooling fixture includes a plurality of pads that extend from a top surface of a chimney. The HGA has a slider that is mounted to a flexure arm. The flexure arm extends from a base plate of the HGA. The base plate has a swage mount that is inserted into a corresponding aperture of the chimney when an operator loads an HGA into the tester. The pads of the chimney support the base plate and the HGA. The base plate is typically clamped onto the chimney by a spring biased clamp. The HGA is moved adjacent to a rotating disk of the tester. The pads provide a reliable contact surface that improves the repeatability of the HGA positioning which in turn can improve the tester.

    摘要: An apparatus and method for measuring the space between a transparent member such as a disk, and reflective member such as a slider, by detecting a change of polarization of a reflected light beam. The apparatus includes a light source that emits a light beam. The light beam is circularly polarized and directed onto the disk and reflected off of the interface between the disk and the slider. The reflected light beam is split into four separately polarized beams by a beam splitter/polarizer assembly. The four light beams have varying intensities that are measured by photodetectors. Stokes parameters are computed from electrical signals that are generated by the photodetectors. The Stokes parameters correlate to the change in polarization of the reflected light beam. Ellipsometric parameters delta and psi are computed from the Stokes parameters. The thickness of the space and the complex index of refraction (n and K) of the slider are computed from the delta and psi parameters, typically by computing two separate sets of ellipsometric parameters at two different spacing thicknesses.

    摘要: To obtain the correct tape wrap angle at the head in a cassette loaded recorder, tape guiding support "outriggers" integral with the head assembly are provided. The outriggers are located on either side of the active portion of the head structure to guide the tape and to establish the tape/head wrap angle independent of the exact locations of the cassette guides. Slots separate the active head structure from each of the outriggers, presenting an edge at each side of the head to skive any air film adherent to the moving tape as it approaches the head's transducer. Additionally, the entire head and outrigger structure is fabricated from the same or mechanically similar materials and has an overall constant area profile contour which wears at a uniform rate due to tape abrasion.

    摘要: In a recorder having two inline heads, such as a record head followed by a reproduce head, it is necessary to insure adequate tape wrap angle at the transducing element of each head. Because the tape is spanned between the two inline heads, the tape leaves the apex of one head at a zero wrap angle and arrives at the apex of the second head with a zero wrap angle. The invention provides outriggers on each head assembly which guide the tape, and teaches placing each transducing element off the apex of its head assembly to maintain adequate wrap angles at the transducing elements of each inline head. The outriggers are provided with slots which skive entrapped air to prevent tape "flying" with attendant loss of contact with the transducing elements. The contours of the outriggers and the lands on which the transducing elements of each head assembly are located form constant area profiles to provide constant wear characteristics for the head assemblies.

    摘要: An efficient method and apparatus for taking the data needed for a glide test; the data includes measuring flying height of a slider over a regular rotating disk and measuring piezoelectric contact with the disk. An optical system provides a beam of light. To measure the flying height, part of the beam of light is reflected from a surface of the transparent slider. Another portion of the beam is reflected from the surface of a rotating disk. The two beams are transferred through an optical system and imaged onto a CCD camera which converts the separation of intensity maxima or intensity minima into information regarding the air gap separating the slider and the disk. A piezoelectric sensor on the slider measures slider contact with the disk. A processor combines data from the piezoelectric sensor with data from the CCD camera to measure disk asperities.
