Abstract:
A method of forming a layer, the method including providing a substrate having at least one surface adapted for deposition thereon; and directing a particle beam towards the surface of the substrate, the particle beam including small molecule molecular species, wherein the small molecule molecular species break apart upon interaction with atoms at the substrate into atomic components, each of the atomic components having implant energies from about 20 eV to about 100 eV to form a layer.
Abstract:
An apparatus includes a ferroelectric layer and a polarization pattern configured in the ferroelectric layer to represent position data. The polarization pattern has a switchable polarization state domain and an unswitchable polarization state domain. A method includes providing a ferroelectric layer and establishing a polarization pattern in the ferroelectric layer to represent position data.
Abstract:
A process and device for making sputtered films with a linear scanning magnetron, wherein sputtering employs directionally emitting targets and “ballistic” transport to achieve controlled angular dispersion of incident particles with respect to the normal of the substrate. Sputter films made by this process can exhibit a high degree of step coverage over sub-micron, high aspect ratio substrate features and can fill high aspect ratio substrate features, for example, channels or vias.
Abstract:
A system that includes an ion source, the ion source configured to produce ions having a first energy; an extractor to extract the ions; an accelerator configured to accelerate the ions; a focusing and steering device configured to focus and/or steer the accelerated ions; and a decelerator configured to decelerate the accelerated ions so that the ions have a second energy when they impact a substrate, wherein the second energy is less than the first energy.
Abstract:
A ferroelectric polarization pattern with differing feedback signals. An apparatus including a ferroelectric layer and a polarization pattern configured in the ferroelectric layer to represent position data. The polarization pattern has a first switchable polarization state domain and a second switchable polarization state domain that are both switchable by an applied signal. The first switchable polarization state domain has a first feedback signal in response to the applied signal that is different than a second feedback signal of the second switchable polarization state domain at the applied signal.
Abstract:
A data storage medium that includes a multiferroic thin film and ferromagnetic storage domains formed in the multiferroic thin film. The multiferroic thin film may be formed of at least one of BiFeO3, or any other ferroelectric and antiferromagnetic material. The ferromagnetic storage domains may be formed in the multiferroic thin film by an ion implantation process. A data storage system that incorporates the data storage medium is also provided.
