Latest Patents
One of her latest patents is titled "Method of forming uniform features using photoresist." This invention describes a process for ion milling that utilizes photoresist as a mask. In this preferred embodiment, the invention is applied in the fabrication of air-bearing features on sliders for magnetic storage devices. The process involves applying, developing, and removing the photoresist, which includes several baking steps. An additional baking step is performed immediately before ion milling, resulting in increased uniformity of the milling depth. This improvement is attributed to the reduction of volatile materials, such as water, in the photoresist. The enhanced uniformity of the air-bearing features ultimately improves the overall quality and performance of the devices.
Another notable patent is the "Direct cooling pallet assembly for temperature stability for deep ion mill etch process." This invention focuses on a frame component of a pallet assembly, which includes multiple arms for retaining at least one carrier component. The design incorporates a spring on one of the arms to apply pressure on the carrier, ensuring stability during the etching process.
