Abstract:
The embodiments disclose at least one predetermined patterned layer configured to eliminate a physical path of lateral thermal bloom in a recording device, at least one gradient layer coupled to the patterned layer and configured to use materials with predetermined thermal conductivity for controlling a rate of dissipation and a path coupled to the gradient layer and configured to create a path of least thermal conduction resistance for directing dissipation along the path, wherein the path substantially regulates and prevents lateral thermal bloom.
Abstract:
Provided herein is an apparatus, including a substrate; an etch stop layer overlying the substrate, wherein the etch stop layer is substantially resistant to etching conditions; and a patterned layer overlying the etch stop layer, wherein the patterned layer is substantially labile to the etching conditions, and wherein the patterned layer comprises a number of features including substantially consistent feature profiles among regions of high feature density and regions of low feature density.
Abstract:
The embodiments disclose an analyzer configured to determine positions of circumferential gratings track features and alignment patterns in a first template and a phase device configured to determine positions of radial gratings features and interspersed pattern fields in a second template, wherein the first template is transferred and cross-imprinted with the second template features and patterns to form a third template substrate as a rectangular patterned stack imprint template.
Abstract:
Provided herein is an apparatus comprising a substrate; a continuous layer over the substrate comprising a first heat sink layer; and a plurality of features over the continuous layer comprising a second heat sink layer, a first magnetic layer over the second heat sink layer, and a second magnetic layer, wherein the first and second magnetic layers are configured to provide a temperature-dependent, exchange spring mechanism.
Abstract:
Provided herein is an apparatus, including a first region corresponding to a data region in a patterned recording medium; a first set of features in the first region; a second region corresponding to a servo region in a patterned recording medium; and a second set of features in the second region including rhomboidal protrusions, wherein the first set of features and the second set of features are circumferentially aligned in accordance with concentrically circular lines etched into the apparatus across the first region and the second region.
Abstract:
The embodiments disclose a stack feature of a stack configured to confine optical fields within and to a patterned plasmonic underlayer in the stack configured to guide light from a light source to regulate optical coupling.
Abstract:
The invention relates to bit patterned recording media having a stop layer for chemical mechanical polishing. One embodiment of the present invention is a method of manufacturing a magnetic recording medium comprising the step of planarizing by chemical mechanical polishing until the stop layer is reached. The present invention also provides a magnetic recording medium having a stop layer.
