  • Method for manufacturing optical device structures
    Patent number: 12158605
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide for methods of forming optical device structures. The methods utilize rotation of a substrate, to have the optical device structures formed thereon, and tunability of etch rates of a patterned resist disposed over the substrate and one of a device layer or the substrate to form the optical device structures without multiple lithographic patterning steps and angled etch steps.
    Type: Grant

  • Lateral spin valve reader with in-plane detector
    Patent number: 9704515
    Abstract: A lateral spin valve reader includes a detector located proximate to a bearing surface of the reader, a spin injector located away from the bearing surface, and a channel layer that substantially extends from the detector to the spin injector. The channel layer and the detector are substantially in a same plane.
