    Abstract: A method and apparatus for detecting a topographic feature on a media is described. More particularly, a light scatter detector is coupled to an atomic force microscope. The detector is used detect scattered optical energy reflected from the surface of the media to identify the topographic feature. The atomic force microscope may then be positioned in response to the topographic feature identified.

    Abstract: The present invention is used to form precise, optically detectable patterns on rotating members of a disk and spindle assembly of a disk drive used in data storage system. In particular, the invention employs an optical source to form optically detectable patterns on the rotating members of the disk drive. These optically detectable patterns are used to create an accurate clock track. The clock track may be used to create multiple accurate magnetic patterns on one or more disks attached to a disk and spindle assembly in a magnetic data storage system. By successively changing the radius at which the magnetic patterns are created it is then possible to create multiple magnetic patterns at successive radii with all such magnetic patterns having a precise geometric relationship to each other. Alternatively, the accurate clock pattern may stand alone as an encoder. Additionally, the present invention may also be used to form textured surfaces on a disk to control the flying characteristics of a magnetic head slider assembly. The present invention can also create textured surfaces which will serve as a resting area for the magnetic head slider assembly of a magnetic disk drive when the disk is not spinning.

    Abstract: A magnetic data storage medium includes a dedicated transducing head contact zone for engaging an air bearing slider, primarily when the disk is stationary and also during disk accelerations and decelerations. The contact zone has a dual baseline texture, formed by first creating a recessed region within the transducing head contact zone, and then by forming multiple nodules or other texturing features within the recessed region. The texturing features project upwardly from a recessed surface of the recessed region, and also project above an upper surface of the disk by an amount less than the texturing feature height. Consequently, the texturing features are large enough to counteract stiction due to liquid lubricant meniscus formation, yet also have heights sufficiently low relative to the upper surface to allow reduced transducer flying heights. According to a preferred texturing process, the recessed region consists of multiple individual recesses produced by applying a carbon layer to the disk, then forming cavities by selective laser ablation of the carbon layer.

    Abstract: Processes include aligning a disc with a template at a location so that the pattern from the template is transferred to the disc in a relative orientation. The relative orientation provides that when the disc with the transferred pattern is finally assembled into a hard disc drive, an inner diameter of the spindle hole of the disc may be abutted against an outer diameter of the disc drive spindle, and the data-containing patterns on the discs will be aligned concentrically with a center of the disc drive spindle. While the data-containing patterns are aligned concentrically with the disc drive spindle, the substrate itself is allowed to be non-concentric. Still other aspects include a disc having eccentric formations including PIM and one or more of bit patterns and servo information formed on a disc surface, the eccentricity of the formations is determined based on an expected difference between the radius of the spindle hole of the disc and the radius of the spindle on which the disc will be placed during assembly, with the PIM used to determine the angular alignment of the disc with the spindle.
