Abstract: A semiconductor nanosheet device including semiconductor channel layers vertically aligned and stacked one on top of another, separated by a work function metal, and a second layer between two first layers, the second layer and two first layers between the semiconductor channel layers and a substrate. A semiconductor device including a lower first layer, a second layer, and a source drain region between a first set of semiconductor channel layers vertically aligned and stacked one on top of another, and a second set of semiconductor channel layers. A method including forming a stack sacrificial layer, a stack of nanosheet layers, forming a cavity by removing the stack sacrificial layer, and simultaneously forming a first layer on an upper surface of the stack sacrificial layer, on vertical side surfaces of the set of sacrificial gates, and an upper first layer and a lower first layer in a portion of the cavity.

Abstract: A read head includes a permanent magnet (PM) layer formed up to 100 nm behind a free layer where PM layer magnetization may be initialized in a direction that adjusts free layer (FL) bias point, and shifts sensor asymmetry (Asym) closer to 0% for individual heads at slider or Head Gimbal Assembly level to provide a significant improvement in device yield. Asym is adjusted using different initialization schemes and initialization directions. With individual heads, initialization direction is selected based on a prior measurement of asymmetry. The PM layer is CoPt or CoCrPt and has coercivity from 500 Oersted to 1000 Oersted. The PM layer may have a width equal to the FL, or in another embodiment, the PM layer adjoins a backside of the top shield and has a width equal to or greater than that of the FL.

Abstract: A method for processing a non-cache data write request includes a cache receiving a first non-cache data write request from a first processor, and sending the first non-cache data write request to a node, where the first non-cache data write request includes a first address. If the cache determines that the first address is stored in the cache, the cache obtains first data corresponding to the first non-cache data write request from the first processor. When receiving a first data buffer identifier from the node, the cache sends the first data to the node. After receiving the first non-cache data write request, if the cache determines that the first address is locally stored, the cache may obtain the first data from the processor. After receiving the first data buffer identifier, the cache may send the first data to the node.

Abstract: A method for processing a non-cache data write request, a cache, and a node are provided. The method includes: A cache receives a first non-cache data write request from a first processor, and sends the first non-cache data write request to a node, where the first non-cache data write request includes a first address. If the cache determines that the first address is stored in the cache, the cache obtains first data corresponding to the first non-cache data write request from the first processor. When receiving a first data buffer identifier from the node, the cache sends the first data to the node. After receiving the first non-cache data write request, if the cache determines that the first address is locally stored, the cache may obtain the first data from the processor. After receiving the first data buffer identifier, the cache may send the first data to the node.

Abstract: A disk drive suspension and method for design of a disk drive suspension where the suspension has a load beam with a rigid portion and a flexure comprising a frame attached to the load beam rigid portion at a welding point. The frame has left and right outriggers and a tongue between the outriggers and cantilevered from the frame at a flexure offset rail. The tongue has a free end for carrying a slider in gimballing relation in operative proximity to a disk.

Abstract: A disk drive suspension is mounted to an actuator arm by axial and not radial forces, the forces being imparted by upper and lower flanges of a cylindrical connector extending through the actuator arm and the mount plate to which the load beam is attached.

Abstract: Wireless flexures are laser welded to load beams by first reducing the amount of load beam metal with a recess or the combination of a through hole and a recess at the weld location, to thereby reduce the amount of energy need for the weld and distortion to the parts caused by the heat generated during the welding process.
