  • USING SOLID STATE DEPOSITION IN THE MANUFACTURE OF DATA STORAGE DEVICES, AND RELATED DEVICES AND COMPONENTS THEREOF
    Publication number: 20200395049
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to using solid state deposition to selectively and strategically manage one or more properties of one or more portions of a data storage device. Material deposited via solid-state deposition can be used to prepare a surface for subsequent treatment (e.g., welding), to join two or more substrates together, and/or to seal one or more joints or surfaces to control, e.g., the humidity in the interior of a data storage device. The present disclosure also involves related data storage devices.
