Patent number: 8555486Abstract: A method for fabricating a magnetic recording transducer is described. The transducer has an ABS location and a nonmagnetic intermediate layer having a pole trench. The method includes depositing at least one magnetic pole layer having a top surface and a pole tip portion proximate to the ABS location. A first portion of the magnetic pole layer(s) resides in the pole trench. The magnetic pole layer(s) have a seam in the pole tip portion that extends to the top surface. The method also includes cathodically etching a second portion of the magnetic pole layer(s) from the seam at a rate of not more than 0.1 nanometers/second, thereby forming a seam trench in the magnetic pole layer(s). The method also includes refilling the seam trench with at least one magnetic refill layer. At least an additional magnetic pole layer is deposited on the top surface and the magnetic refill layer(s).Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2011Date of Patent: October 15, 2013Assignee: Western Digital (Fremont), LLCInventors: Jose A.

Patent number: 8524068Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention include systems and methods for low-rate electrochemical (wet) etch that use a net cathodic current or potential. In particular, some embodiments achieve controlled etch rates of less than 0.1 nm/s by applying a small net cathodic current to a substrate as the substrate is submerged in an aqueous electrolyte. Depending on the embodiment, the aqueous electrolyte utilized may comprise the same type of cations as the material being etched from the substrate. Some embodiments are useful in etching thin film metals and alloys and fabrication of magnetic head transducer wafers.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2011Date of Patent: September 3, 2013Assignee: Western Digital (Fremont), LLCInventors: Jose A.

Patent number: 8502787Abstract: A method and system for differentiating between intended user input and inadvertent or incidental contact with a touchpad is herein disclosed. When a user engages the touchpad, sensors on the touchpad are activated and generate touch sensor signals. Based on the pattern of engaged sensors, a hand pattern can be determined. From the hand pattern, a hand model may be retrieved. The hand model may indicate passive zones and active zones. Contact in the active zones may be considered intentional, while contact in the passive zones may be considered unintended or incidental. Moreover, a global shift may be calculated, and input from the active zones may be compensated for the global shift. The input from the active zones can then be used to control a graphical user interface.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 2009Date of Patent: August 6, 2013Assignee: Panasonic CorporationInventors: Luca Rigazio, David Kryze, Philippe Morin, Tiffany Yun

Patent number: 8413317Abstract: A method and system for fabricating a microelectric device are described. A write pole of an energy assisted magnetic recording head or a capacitor might be fabricated. The method includes depositing a resist film and curing the resist film at a temperature of at least 180 degrees centigrade. A cured resist film capable of supporting a line having an aspect ratio of at least ten is thus provided. A portion of the cured resist film is removed. A remaining portion of the resist film forms the line. An insulating or nonmagnetic layer is deposited after formation of the line. The line is removed to provide a trench in the insulating or nonmagnetic layer. The trench has a height and a width. The height divided by the width corresponds to the aspect ratio. At least part of the structure is provided in the trench.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 2010Date of Patent: April 9, 2013Assignee: Western Digital (Fremont), LLCInventors: Dujiang Wan, Hai Sun, Ge Yi, Wei Gao, Hong Zhang, Guanghong Luo, Yunjun Tang, Tiffany Yun Wen Jiang, Zhigang Zhou, Wencheng Su

Publication number: 20130009907Abstract: A stylus comprising a magnetic field source when combined with a touch sensor provides for several input modes for an electronic device. Magnetometers in the electronic device may detect the presence, location, orientation, and angle of the magnet and thus the stylus. Presence of the magnetic field in conjunction with touches on the force sensitive touch sensor provides additional comparisons to distinguish whether a touch is from a human hand, a particular portion of a stylus, or other object.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 28, 2011Publication date: January 10, 2013Inventors: Ilya D.
