Abstract:
The manufacture process comprises: forming a first wafer (20) of semiconductor material housing integrated electronic components forming a microactuator control circuit and a signal preamplification circuit (22); forming microactuators (10), each comprising a rotor (52) and a stator (51), in a surface portion of a second wafer (28) of semiconductor material; attaching the second wafer (28) to the first wafer (20), with the surface portion of the second wafer facing the first wafer; thinning the second wafer (28); attaching the second wafer (28) to a third wafer (75) to obtain a composite wafer (78); thinning the first wafer (20); cutting the composite wafer (78) into a plurality of dice (77) connected to a protection chip (75'); removing the protection chip (75'); attaching read/write transducers (6) to the dice (77); and attaching the dice to supporting blocks (3) for hard-disk drivers (1).
