Experimental conditions

 Samples

 Samples for carbon film study

 2.5 inch glass substrate  Disks were exposed by free space directly under various power levels and repetitions  Disks were dip lubed and a slider with NFT flying above the disk to expose the disk at different power levels and repetitions  Disk were delubed and scanned by OSA

 Samples for lubricant study

 3.5 inch disk with aluminum substrate  2.5 inch disk with glass substrate  All samples were exposed by free space and NFT under various power levels and repetitions.

 Two expose modes

 Single track repetitive exposure using free space laser  Shingled exposure using NFT

Laser exposure on carbon film

Normalized surface reflection

When the input power is less than 125 mW, surface reflection increases as the exposure time increases When the power is higher than 125 mW, surface reflection becomes lower and drops as exposed longer.

Conclusion

 A HAMR test bed has been developed to study the head disk interface for HAMR systems  Carbon films

 Carbon film reflectivity starts to change before surface topography changes  Carbon film surface reflectivity change depends on the power input and repetition.  The carbon film change induced by NFT heating is similar to that induced by free space heating.  Heating duration and temperature are key factors for carbon changes.

 Lubricant

 lubricant loss happens for both free space heating and NFT heating. The loss depends on the power input and repetition.  The amount of lubricant loss is different for different substrate when the input power is the same. But the lubricant loss shows similar trend for both substrates.  The change of lubricant after NFT heating is much more than that after free space heating.Thermal stress plays an important role for lubricant depletion.  Heating duration, temperature and thermal gradient are all important for lubricant

A Two-stage Heating Scheme for Heat Assisted Magnetic Recording

Shaomin Xiong, Jeongmin Kim, Yuan Wang, Xiang Zhang and David Bogy

CML 2014

Two-stage heating scheme

Reduce the thermal load on the NFT/metal film thus improve the reliability of the NFT

Two independent heating stages:

• optical waveguide
• near field transducer

The laser input to the NFT in the second stage is less than that in a single stage heating system

Comparison on the media

To heat the media to the Curie point (400 °C), the amount of power output from the head is. Single NFT heating system: 0.21 mW from the NFT Two-stages heating system: 2.7 mW from the waveguide and 0.15 mW from NFT Power from the NFT drops from 0.21 mW to 0.15 mW

Conclusion

 An optical model was built to design the dual-stage heating system. A thermal-mechanical FEM model was used to evaluate the thermal behavior of media and head for this new scheme.  An optimized design was demonstrated. The laser power to the NFT is reduced 30% for the two-stage scheme, compared with the single stage heating scheme. The maximum temperature and maximum thermal gradient are similar in both heating schemes.
