Abstract:
The present disclosure includes barrier devices for use in an apparatus used to form lapping plates. The barrier devices can contain liquid on the surface of the lapping plate platen. The present disclosure also involves related methods.
Abstract:
A lapping platen having a working surface and an abrasive coating on the working surface. The abrasive coating comprises a plurality of individual abrasive composites adhered to the working surface with an epoxy, the abrasive composites comprising diamond particles and a ceramic matrix. The diamond particles have an average particle size of 0.1 micrometers to 3 micrometers with no particle larger than 6 micrometers. The abrasive composites have an average particle size of 15 micrometers to 100 micrometers with no particle larger than 150 micrometers.
Abstract:
The present disclosure involves a method of making a lapping plate by coating a platen with solid resin powder, abrasive particles, and an aqueous carrier followed by evaporating the aqueous carrier and curing the solid resin powder to form an abrasive coating. The present disclosure also involves related lapping plates.
Abstract:
A device and associated method of use can have at least an object with a work surface that contacts a lapping surface of a tool. Topography of the lapping surface can be mapped in-situ by an adjacent sensor array and the topography stored in a memory. The sensor array may be configured with a plurality of sensors positioned on opposite sides of the object.
