Wafer Processing

We offer patented permanent magnet and electro-magnet technology for the processing of disk drive recording heads, MR, GMR, TJ and M-RAM devices.  Our magnetic assemblies can be designed to operate under a variety of conditions and environments for the precision alignment of ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic materials.  They are also designed to offer high field uniformity and minimal dispersion angles.  Additionally, we offer serveral patented devics including switchable wafer bias magnets, high field head initializers and high field magnetrons for use with ferrous targets.

Application Expertise Includes:

  • Annealing
  • Sputtering Magnetrons
  • Thin Film Alignment Frames
  • Electroplating Magnets
  • Initialization Magnets

 

Metrology and Production Testing

We design and deliver permanent and electro-magnets for material analysis and production testing.  We have designed both static and alternating field magnets.  Magnets can be optimized for high field operation.  We can provide dipole or "quadropole" magnets (Dual axis, independtly driven).  Both axes can be driven simultaneously to create fields at any angle.  This capability allows pinning direction measurements on GMR films and devices.  Dual axis capability also allows a DC eeasy field to be applied while the hard axis field is swept.  The magnets can be provided with special ESD coatings and plastics.

Application Expertise Includes:

  • Slider Test Magnets
  • Wafer Mapping Magnets
  • HGA Test Magnets
  • Stack Assembly Test Magnets
  • Quasistatic Test Magnets
  • Environmental Test Magnets
  • Setting Magnets
  • Kerr Effect Test Magnets
Media

We can provide high gradient dipole magnets for media alignment on disks or tapes.  Permanent magnet designs offer the benefits of no additional power supply or control circuitry.

Application Expertise Includes:

  • Hard Disk Erase Tools
  • Sputtering Magnetrons
  • Annealing Magnets
  • Web Alignment
  • Initializing Magnets
