Abstract:
Provided herein is a method, including creating a first pattern in a data region of a substrate, and creating a second pattern in a servo region of a substrate. A circumferential line pattern is created overlapping the first pattern to create rectangle-shaped protrusions in the data region of the substrate. A chevron pattern is created overlapping the second pattern to create chevron-derived protrusions in the servo region of the substrate.
Abstract:
Provided herein is an apparatus, including a first region of a substrate corresponding to a data region in a patterned recording medium; a first set of protrusions etched out of the first region of the substrate, wherein the protrusions of the first set of protrusions are rectangle shaped; a second region of the substrate corresponding to a servo region in a patterned recording medium; and a second set of protrusions etched out of the second region of the substrate, wherein the second set of protrusions includes radial lines etched into the substrate across chevrons etched out of the substrate.
Abstract:
Provided is an apparatus that includes a substrate; a first hard-mask pattern that includes a number of first features disposed over a top surface of the substrate; and a second hard-mask pattern disposed over the first hard-mask layer. The second hard-mask pattern includes a number of second features overlapping one or more of the first features.
Abstract:
Provided herein are apparatuses and methods, including patterning a first set of features in a servo zone to form a patterned servo zone while a first mask protects a data zone from the patterning. The first mask may be removed from the data zone. The apparatuses and methods may further include patterning a second set of features in the data zone to form a patterned data zone while a second mask protects the patterned servo zone from the patterning.
Abstract:
The embodiments disclose a method of fabricating servo integrated templates including depositing a protective layer on servo zone resist layer patterns, patterning integrated data zone features into a substrate, depositing a protective layer on data zones and removing the servo zone protective layer and patterning integrated servo zone features into the substrate and removing the data zone protective layer creating a substrate template used in fabricating data and servo zone integrated patterned stacks.
Abstract:
The embodiments disclose a method including patterning a template substrate to have different densities using hierarchical block copolymer density patterns in different zones including a first pattern and a second pattern, using a first directed self-assembly to pattern a first zone in the substrate using a first block copolymer material, and using a second directed self-assembly to pattern a second zone in the substrate using a second block copolymer material.
Abstract:
A substrate having an arrangement of self-assembling magnetic domains and a method of fabrication therefor. In some embodiments, a substrate is patterned with a plurality of chemically contrasted alignment features, and a block copolymer having a magnetic component and a non-magnetic component is deposited onto the substrate. The block copolymer self-assembles into a sequence of magnetic domains responsive to the alignment features. The period of the alignment features is between about 2 times and about 10 times the period of the magnetic domains.
