US Classification:

345 92

Abstract:

Various computer-implemented methods, carrier media, and systems for displaying an image of at least a portion of a wafer are provided. One computer-implemented method for displaying an image of at least a portion of a wafer includes separately storing different portions of an image of substantially an entire wafer acquired by inspection of the wafer. The different portions of the image correspond to different areas on the wafer. The method also includes displaying in a user interface (UI) only the different portions requested by a user.

Abstract:

A flexible circuit construction is provided for connecting stationary electrical components to electrical components of a moving actuator within a head and disk assembly of a disk drive. The flexible circuit is integrally formed from a plastic film material carrying a plurality of metal film conductive traces and defining a plurality of regions. A connecting region has a plurality of connection pads for connecting to head conductor wires. A hairpin loop portion is provided adjacent the connecting region for reversing direction of the flexible circuit. An elongated arcuate portion leads from the hairpin loop portion to a fixed substrate portion defining plural connections for mounting a read preamplifier/write driver/head selection integrated circuit device. The connecting region defines for at least one edge region thereof a head wire tube engagement portion having a slotted opening for positioning and securing a head wire tube carrying the head wires. The connecting region includes a tab structure for engaging an adjacent portion of the moving actuator, whereby when the tab structure engages the adjacent portion, the head wire tube engagement portion is deflected into a guiding position for guiding the head wire tube toward the connection pads of the connecting region.
