Patent number: 11724233Abstract: A first wafer has a first stop layer deposited on a substrate, the substrate used to form a base support structure. A second wafer has a second stop layer deposited on a sacrificial substrate, and a filter layer deposited on the second stop layer. A rib layer is deposited on one of: the first stop layer of the first layer; or a third stop layer that is deposited over the filter layer. A rib pattern is formed in the rib layer. The first and second wafers are flip bonded such that the rib pattern is joined between the filter layer and the first stop layer. Elongated voids are formed within the filter layer. The base support structure is formed within the substrate of the first wafer such that there is a fluid flow path between the base support structure, the rib layer, and the elongated voids of the filter layer.Type: GrantFiled: July 9, 2020Date of Patent: August 15, 2023Assignee: Seagate Technology LLCInventors: Thomas Young Chang, Kim Yang Lee, Tan G.
