  • LASER HEAT SINKING FOR INTEGRATING LASER DIODE INTO RECORDING HEADS AT WAFER LEVEL
    Publication number: 20230318257
    Abstract: A method comprising the steps of forming a recording head comprising a waveguide, a heat sink and a bleed resistor on a first substrate, is described. The bleed resistor is coupled to the heat sink and the substrate. The top surface of the heat sink is planarized to form a planarized heat sink. A laser diode formed on a second substrate is transfer printed onto the planarized heat sink to form an integrated laser diode.

  • On-wafer integrated laser for heat-assisted magnetic recording
    Patent number: 11328744
    Abstract: An apparatus comprises a substrate. A laser is deposited above the substrate. The laser includes one or more non-self-supporting layers of crystalline material. A metallic adhesive is disposed between the laser and the substrate. The metallic adhesive is configured to adhere the laser to the substrate. A waveguide is deposited proximate the laser. The waveguide is configured to receive light from the laser and direct the light to a recording medium.
