摘要:
During a write revolution of a storage medium, a transition is written on the storage medium while servoing on another transition previously recorded on the storage medium. During that write revolution, a position error signal corresponding to the position error of the transducer relative to the previously recorded transition is determined. That position error signal is then stored, during the write revolution, to be used in computing a reference track value associated with the transition being written in order to correct for the position error
摘要:
A mechanism for servowriting on a storage medium of a storage device. The storage device has a transducer and a servo loop for positioning the transducer with respect to the storage medium. At least one transition is written on a track of the storage medium, while servoing on other transitions previously recorded on the storage medium. A reference waveform is derived as a function of a closed loop response of the servo loop and a position error waveform. The position error waveform corresponds to one or more position errors of the transducer relative to the previously recorded transitions. The reference waveform is usable in writing subsequent tracks on the storage medium. Using the reference waveform for writing subsequent tracks provides a substantial rejection of mechanical disturbances by the servo loop.
摘要:
Improvements in placement of timing patterns in self servo writing include correcting for random and systematic errors due to geometric effects. In a disk drive having a recording head with separate read and write elements, a method for determining separation between the elements and for correcting for such errors as a function of skew angle between the head and the disk. Errors resulting from misalignment and non-parallelism of the elements as well as misalignment of the head on it its actuator are also detected and corrected. Errors due to changes in rotational velocity of the disk and misplacement of timing patterns with respect to adjacent timing patterns are detected and corrected. In general, a single revolution process may be used to both write and detect random errors on each track and corrected on subsequent tracks.

Deep via technology is used to construct an integrated silicon cantilever and cavity oriented in a vertical plane which creates an electrostatically-switched MEMS switch in a small wafer area. Another embodiment is a small wafer area electrostatically-switched, vertical-cantilever MEMS switch wherein the switch cavity is etched within a volume defined by walls grown internally within a silicon substrate using through vias.

摘要:
A template having tapered openings can be employed to enable injection of underfill material through gaps having a width less than a lateral dimension of an injector needle for the underfill material. Each tapered opening has a first lateral dimension on an upper side and a second lateral dimension on a lower side. Compliant material portions can be employed to accommodate variations in distance between the template and stacked semiconductor chips and/or an injector head. Optionally, another head can be employed to apply compressed gas to push out the underfill material after the underfill material is applied to the gaps. Multiple injector heads can be employed to simultaneously inject the underfill material at different sites. An adhesive layer can be substituted for the at least one lower compliant material portion.

A structure includes a wafer having a top wafer surface. The wafer defines an opening. The top wafer surface defines a first reference direction perpendicular to the top wafer surface. The wafer has a thickness in the first reference direction. The structure also includes a through-wafer via formed in the opening. The through-wafer via has a shape, when viewed in a plane perpendicular to the first reference direction and parallel to the top wafer surface, of at least one of a spiral and a C-shape. The through-wafer via has a height in the first reference direction essentially equal to the thickness of the wafer in the first reference direction. Manufacturing techniques are also disclosed.
