    Abstract: An apparatus and related methods for facilitating surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is described. A SERS-active structure near which a plurality of analyte molecules is disposed is periodically deformed at an actuation frequency. A synchronous measuring device synchronized with the actuation frequency receives Raman radiation scattered from the analyte molecules and generates therefrom at least one Raman signal measurement.

    Abstract: NERS-active structures for use in Raman spectroscopy include protrusions extending from a surface of a substrate. A Raman signal-enhancing material is disposed on at least one surface of a first protrusion and at least one surface of a second protrusion. The Raman signal-enhancing material disposed on the first protrusion projects laterally in a direction generally towards the second protrusion, and the Raman signal-enhancing material disposed on the second protrusion projects laterally in a direction generally towards the first protrusion. At least a portion of the Raman signal-enhancing projecting from the first protrusion and at least a portion of the Raman signal-enhancing material projecting from the second protrusion may be separated by a distance of less than about 10 nanometers. Raman spectroscopy systems include such NERS-active structures, and methods for performing Raman spectroscopy include irradiating an analyte proximate such a NERS-active structure and detecting Raman-scattered radiation scattered by the analyte.

    Abstract: Processes include aligning a disc with a template at a location so that the pattern from the template is transferred to the disc in a relative orientation. The relative orientation provides that when the disc with the transferred pattern is finally assembled into a hard disc drive, an inner diameter of the spindle hole of the disc may be abutted against an outer diameter of the disc drive spindle, and the data-containing patterns on the discs will be aligned concentrically with a center of the disc drive spindle. While the data-containing patterns are aligned concentrically with the disc drive spindle, the substrate itself is allowed to be non-concentric. Still other aspects include a disc having eccentric formations including PIM and one or more of bit patterns and servo information formed on a disc surface, the eccentricity of the formations is determined based on an expected difference between the radius of the spindle hole of the disc and the radius of the spindle on which the disc will be placed during assembly, with the PIM used to determine the angular alignment of the disc with the spindle.

    Abstract: An imprint template is provided with a shallower field bordering the patterned region. The shallower field can be formed with additional lithography/etch steps after (or before) the formation of the features in the patterned region. The template is used to establish a thin film pattern with a field thickness that is shallower than the pattern. A shallower field bordering the patterned region alleviates sidewall re-deposition during ion mill. In a planarization/etch-back process, a thinner field helps to achieve a flat top surface by compensating for the thickness variation caused by different filling ratios. Fabrication of the recessed field template comprises a multi-step patterning process. The initial patterns are formed using a convention fabrication process. A second patterning step is used to reduce the height of the field region, which can be applied by coating the “half-finished” template with a suitable resist pattern and patterning the resist using a second lithography step that is aligned to the original pattern. Template material in the field region is then etched with the resist as a mask, forming a template with a recessed field region after the remaining resist is removed. It should be appreciated that the order of these etch steps can be reversed to obtain the same result.
