    摘要: In one embodiment, a surface analyzer system comprises a radiation targeting assembly to target radiation onto a surface, a reflected radiation collecting assembly that collects radiation reflected from the surface, and a signal processing module. The signal processing module generates an image of magnetic characteristics of the magnetic disk, wherein the image comprises a plurality of servo sector arcs, locates a sample of points on a plurality of the servo sector arcs, fits a circle to the sample of points on each of the plurality of servo sector arcs, and determines at least one pivot-to-gap measurement from the radius of the circles.

    摘要: A laser based inspection tool (LIT) for inspecting planar surfaces is described. In a preferred embodiment the LIT can simultaneously inspect both planar surfaces of disks for use in disk drives. In one embodiment of the invention, the incident beam is directed onto the surface to be inspected at an angle slightly offset from perpendicular so that the reflected beam is physically separated from the incident beam. The reflected beam is routed to a detector which converts the intensity of the reflected into an analog signal. The analog signal is sampled and digitized to generate pixel data stored in a buffer. Various analyses are performed on the data including calculating a rate of change in the pixel data. If the rate of change in the pixel data exceeds a selected threshold that indicates a possible defect if it occurs in the data area of the disk.

    摘要: Scratches, pits and particles which are smaller or larger than the beam size may be measured and identified by a single and dual multiple beam techniques. In one embodiment, this the invention uses a pair of orthogonally oriented white light beams, one in the radial and one in the circumferential direction. The scattered light from the radial and circumferential beams allows the detection and classification of particles, pits and scratches. In other embodiments, single beam techniques are used to classify radial and circumferential defects.
