  • MAGNETIC DEVICES WITH VARIABLE OVERCOATS
    Publication number: 20180040341
    Abstract: A magnetic device including: a magnetic reader; a magnetic writer; and a variable overcoat, the variable overcoat positioned over at least the magnetic reader and writer, the variable overcoat having an overcoat layer, the overcoat layer having a substantially constant thickness and material; and at least one disparate overcoat portion, the disparate overcoat portion having a different thickness, a different material, or both, than the overcoat layer.
    Type: Application

  • Creating a sub-micron pattern proximate a near-field transducer using in-slider waveguide and laser
    Patent number: 9460746
    Abstract: An air-bearing surface of a slider is coated with a photoresist having a high optical absorbance at or near an operational wavelength of the slider. Light is directed at a target wavelength through an entry of a waveguide integrated into the slider. The light exiting the waveguide forms a feature through the photoresist, the feature proximate a near-field transducer of the slider. A sub-micron pattern is formed using the feature.

  • SOLDERABLE PAD FABRICATION FOR MICROELECTRONIC COMPONENTS
    Publication number: 20150333476
    Abstract: Two microelectronic components can be attached by flowing solder between solderable pads patterned on interfacing surfaces. According to one implementation, the microelectronic components can include the solderable pads patterned onto first respective surfaces and other surface features patterned onto second respective surfaces. In another implementation, the solderable pads can include an adhesion layer, a diffusion barrier layer, and a surface oxidation layer.
