  • Patent number: 10553241
    Abstract: A method and system provides a near-field transducer (NFT) for a heat assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) transducer. The method and system include forming the disk of the NFT and forming the pin of the NFT. The disk is formed from a first material. The pin is formed from a second material different from the first material. The pin contacts the disk. At least a portion of the pin is between the disk and an air-bearing surface (ABS) location.

  • Publication number: 20170031352
    Abstract: A method for controlling an etch operation which is a rapid alternating process having etch and passivation phases is described. The method includes (a) supplying source power to an inductive coil of a plasma chamber, (b) initiating supply of a first process gas that flows along a distance separating a mass flow controller and the chamber, (c) detecting an optical signal from plasma generated within the chamber, with the optical signal being analyzed to identify a predefined change in amplitude relative to time, (d) triggering activation of bias power upon identifying the predefined change, the bias power being held active for a predefined amplitude duration during which the etch phase is primarily active, (e) initiating supply of a second process gas during a period in which the passivation phase is primarily active and the bias power is inactive, and (f) repeating (b)-(e) for additional cycles while processing an etch operation.

  • Publication number: 20140179106
    Abstract: A method for forming devices in an oxide layer over a substrate, wherein a metal containing layer forms at least either an etch stop layer below the oxide layer or a patterned mask above the oxide layer, wherein a patterned organic mask is above the oxide layer is provided. The substrate is placed in a plasma processing chamber. The oxide layer is etched through the patterned organic mask, wherein metal residue from the metal containing layer forms metal residue on sidewalls of the oxide layer. The patterned organic mask is stripped. The metal residue is cleaned by the steps comprising providing a cleaning gas comprising BCl3 and forming a plasma from the cleaning gas. The substrate is removed from the plasma processing chamber.

  • Publication number: 20140051256
    Abstract: A method for etching a dielectric layer disposed below a patterned organic mask with features, with hardmasks at bottoms of some of the organic mask features is provided. An etch gas is provided. The etch gas is formed into a plasma. A bias RF with a frequency between 2 and 60 MHz is provided that provides pulsed bias with a pulse frequency between 10 Hz and 1 kHz wherein the pulsed bias selectively deposits on top of the organic mask with respect to the dielectric layer.
