Silicon microstructures and microactuators for compact computer disk drives

  • 1. ROR icon University of California, Los Angeles

Abstract

Silicon micromachining techniques offer many exciting opportunities for fabricating both passive microstructures and active electromagnetic microactuators for significant form factor reduction and increase in recording density of future magnetic recording rigid disk drives. In this overview paper, the authors have presented some recent results and novel product concepts.
