Read/write device for a hard-disk memory system, and corresponding manufacturing process
Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide a read/write device for a hard-disk memory system. The read/write device includes a fixed structure; a membrane region including a first and a second membrane, which are constrained to the fixed structure, and a central portion, interposed between the first and second membranes; a first and a second piezoelectric actuator, mechanically coupled, respectively, to the first and second membranes; and a read/write head, which is fixed to the central portion of the membrane region. The first and second piezoelectric actuators can be controlled so as to cause corresponding deformations of the first and second membranes, said deformations of the first and second membranes causing corresponding movements of the read/write head with respect to the fixed structure.
Built-In Resistance Sensor for Measuring Slider Level Pole Width at Point "A" (PWA) for PMR/MAMR Writers
A PMR (perpendicular magnetic recording) write head is configured for measurements at the slider level and wafer-level processing stages that will allow a determination of the pole width at a position A (PWA) using the results of a resistance measurement between a main pole (MP) and surrounding write shields (WS) with a layer of conductor in the write gap and a layer of insulating material replacing the side gaps. Knowledge of an accurate value of PWA allows adjustments to be made in the processing of sliders on each rowbar which, in turn improves the capability of delivering the desired statistical variation (sigma) in the distribution of erasure widths for AC signals (EWACS) in a given design which, in turn, gives better overall performance in hard disk drive (HDD) applications.

Z-HEIGHT CONTROL FOR DISC DRIVE USING SERVO WEDGE TIMING
A data storage device includes a disc, an actuator arm assembly, a servo clock, and a feedback and control system. The disc includes a top and bottom surfaces and a servo wedge. The servo wedge includes a top surface boundary and a bottom surface boundary. The actuator arm assembly supports a head pair configured for interaction with the top and bottom surfaces. The servo clock is configured to determine a top time at which the head pair encounters the top surface boundary and a bottom time at which the head pair encounters the bottom surface boundary during a disc read/write interaction. The feedback and control system is configured to determine an operation time difference; compare the operation time difference to a certification time difference correlating to a target vertical position of the actuator arm assembly relative to the disc; and move the actuator arm assembly to the target vertical position.
