摘要:
An improved process flow for an atomic resolution storage (ARS) system deposits conductive electrodes on a media side of a rotor wafer before wafer thinning process, i.e., grinding and CMP, thus protecting the conductive electrodes on a media surface from the grinding process. In addition, the CMOS circuitry is formed in a stator wafer at a relatively later stage. Therefore, the CMOS circuitry is less likely to be damaged by heat processing. In addition, some of the necessary processing may be performed with loosened thermal budget. Finally, because wafer bonding of the rotor wafer and the stator wafer is performed at a later stage, there is less probability of degradation of the wafer bonding. Accordingly, device yield may be enhanced, leading to lower manufacturing cost.

A method of fabricating a sharp protrusion on an underlayer is disclosed. A tip layer is deposited on an underlayer and then a mask layer is deposited on the tip layer. The mask layer is patterned with a beam-and-hat pattern that is used to form a beam-and-hat mask in the mask layer. Portions of the tip layer that are not covered by the beam-and-hat mask are isotropically etched to form a tip including a vertex. Beam portions of the beam-and-hat mask support the hat portion and prevent a release of the hat portion during the isotropic etching process. An anisotropic etch process can be used prior to the isotropic etching process to change a character of the tip. The underlayer can be patterned and etched to form a cantilever that includes the sharp protrusion extending outward of a surface of the cantilever.

An improved process flow for an atomic resolution storage (ARS) system deposits conductive electrodes, together with a protective layer, on a media side of a rotor wafer before most of other device processing, thus preserving a surface for ARS storage media from subsequent wafer thinning process. CMOS circuitry is also formed in a stator wafer at a later stage. Therefore, the CMOS circuitry is less likely to be damaged by heat processing. In addition, processing of the media side of the rotor wafer may be performed with loosened thermal budget. Finally, because the media side of the rotor wafer is processed before wafer bonding of the rotor wafer and the stator wafer, there is less probability of degradation of the wafer bonding. Therefore, device yield may be enhanced, leading to lower manufacturing cost.

Methods for dicing water stacks are provided. Preferably, the method includes the steps of: (1) providing a wafer stack having a first wafer and a second wafer; (2) exposing a portion of the first wafer by removing a portion of the second wafer; and (3) dicing the exposed portion of the first wafer such that a first die assembly is at least partially separated from the wafer stack. Wafer stacks and die assemblies also are provided.

Provided is a method and system for detecting rotational movement of a camera. Three pairs of accelerometers are located in the camera, with the motion sensing axes of each of the accelerometers in each of the pairs parallel to one another. The accelerometers are relatively positioned in the camera such that the planes formed by the motion sensing axes of each of the pairs of accelerometers are substantially mutually orthogonal.

A first device has a surface and includes a plurality of at largest micrometer-scale geometry structures extending along its surface. The structures have a first portion and a second portion. A plurality of at largest micrometer-scale geometry conductors are coupled to the first portion of respective structures. A converter converts a signal in the first portion of the structures to a substantially direct current signal in the respective second portion. A sensor detects a level of a signal coupled from one of the conductors to a respective one of the structures.
