Abstract: Disclosed are servo pattern writing methods and apparatuses for performing the same. In one example, a method may include providing a plurality of disks having reference servo patterns written thereon; writing align patterns aligned with each other in a horizontal direction of the disk surface, on the plurality of disks, using a reference servo pattern of one of the plurality of disks; and writing a final servo pattern on each disk, using the align pattern written on each disk.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for adaptively controlling a motor considering a state of disturbance applied to a system. The method includes changing a frequency bandwidth of a frequency response characteristic in a motor control system according to a state of disturbance applied to the motor control system, and controlling a speed of the motor by applying the changed frequency bandwidth to the motor control system.

Abstract: The flying heights of magnetic heads of a disk drive are set using an FOD (flying on demand) method in a bank mode. A first signal for adjusting the flying height of a magnetic head is issued to each magnetic head and the value of the first signal is scaled by scale values set for the magnetic heads, respectively, with one of the scale values differing from the others. The value of the first signal is changed until the magnetic head associated with the scale value different from the others touches down. A flying height for the magnetic head which touched down is determined based on the value of the first signal at the time of touch-down. The process is repeated, however with a different bank of scale values each time and set in such a way as to cause the sequential touch-down of the remaining magnetic heads, and determinations of flying heights for the magnetic heads.

Abstract: A method of forming a servo track on a recording medium includes; forming a magnetic layer, defining a first servo track region having a plurality of first magnetic segments and a second servo track region having a second plurality of magnetic segments in the magnetic layer, applying a first magnetic field to induce a first magnetization direction in the first and second pluralities of magnetic segments, forming first magnetic patterns, each having a first width, and second magnetic patterns, each having a second width different from the first width, on a first side of a substrate, disposing the substrate on the recording medium, such that the first magnetic patterns are aligned in correspondence with the plurality of first magnetic segments and the second magnetic patterns are aligned in correspondence with the plurality of second magnetic segments, and applying a second magnetic field to the recording medium to selectively induce a second magnetization direction into first selected ones of the first plurali

Abstract: A method of fabricating a semiconductor device includes forming a first vertical pillar over a semiconductor substrate. A spacer is formed over a sidewall of the first vertical pillar. A portion of the semiconductor substrate exposed between the first vertical pillars is etched to form a recess that exposes a second vertical pillar extending below from the first vertical pillar. A sacrificial film is formed over the semiconductor substrate including the recess and a sidewall of the first vertical pillar to fill the recess, the second vertical pillar and the first vertical pillar. A supporting layer is deposited over the sacrificial film and the first vertical pillar. The supporting layer is patterned to form a supporting pattern connecting the first vertical pillar with each other. The sacrificial film is removed to expose the second vertical pillar. A surrounding gate is formed over a sidewall of the second vertical pillar.
