HOW HARDDISK IS MADE!

The harddisks are the most important part of a computer as we can't imagine our life without music,games and other usefull data ,This all data is stored on HDD.Did you ever think that how it is made?In this post iwill answer this.So read carefully.

Not a platter is left uncovered as we delve into the intricacies of making hard disks.
The fact that silicon chips start life as nothing more exotic than sand is amazing enough, but have you ever thought about that other important PC component, the hard disk? Its origins couldn’t be more different. The heart of a hard disk – the rotating platter where your data is stored – is made out of an exotic mix of elements including ruthenium and platinum, two of the world’s rarest and most expensive metals. Needless to say, this statement doesn’t even hint at the complexity involved in transforming rare ores into gigabytes of data storage. The hard disk’s high speeds of rotation and the close proximity of the head to the platter means that the processes must be carried out with the ultimate in precision and cleanliness. Add to this the strange properties of magnetic media and the techniques required to achieve the optimum capacity, and the story of how disks are made becomes one that encompasses the fields of mining, metallurgy, chemistry, physics and involves the pinnacle of engineering and manufacturing technology.
As a whole, a hard disk is an amazing feat of electronic and mechanical engineering, but two parts – the heads and the platter – stand out for their sheer manufacturing complexity. As the part that actually stores the data, the platter is what many people consider the heart of a hard disk drive – and here we reveal the secrets of its manufacture.

Step 1: Mineral extraction and processing

Platinum is only the 70th most abundant element in the Earth’s crust, making up just three parts per billion. Ruthenium comes two places lower with an abundance of only one part per billion. By way of comparison, silicon – the raw material from which microprocessors are made – accounts for around 27 per cent of the Earth’s crust. It’s no surprise then that platinum is hugely expensive – today’s market price is more than $1,300 per Troy ounce. Turning to ruthenium, the total annual production is just 27 tonnes, an amount that would fit in a 1.3m3 cube. Both are mined predominantly in South Africa.
Platinum is one of the noble metals, which means that it’s relatively unreactive. Unlike metals such as copper – the main ores of which are compounds – platinum is normally found in its metallic form.
This doesn’t mean that extracting it from its ore is simple, though, as platinum is normally found mixed with other metals. Obtaining pure platinum involves separating it from the iron, copper, gold, nickel, iridium, palladium, rhodium, ruthenium and osmium that it’s invariably found with. Let’s just say it’s a complicated multistage chemical process that can take up to six months to complete. Fortuitously, though, the ruthenium that’s also needed in disk manufacture is a by-product of the process. A deep mine in the Bushveld Complex of South Africa might seem far-removed from a finished hard disk, and in this sense it’s an ideal place to start our investigation. But we’re not going to need the platinum or the ruthenium until well down the line, so for now we’ll put them aside as we move to something more down to earth – and considerably more common.

Step 2: Making aluminium blanks

The manufacture of a hard disk platter starts with the fabrication of aluminium blanks, which are disks of aluminium alloy onto which the magnetic recording layer will eventually be deposited. High-purity alloy that contains four to five per cent magnesium plus small amounts of silicon, copper, iron and zinc to give it the necessary properties is cast into an ingot weighing seven tonnes. The ingot is then heat-treated, hot-rolled and cold-rolled in multiple passes to provide a sheet of the necessary thickness (usually 0.635mm, 0.8mm, 1.0mm, 1.27mm, 1.5mm or 1.8 mm – just enough to provide adequate stability while rotating at high speed) from which the blanks will be punched.
Hot rolling mills process aluminium ingots into thin slivers of metal, from which disks will be punched.
Punching takes place once the alloy sheet has been coiled into large rolls so that a single stamping process produces lots of blanks. This is then followed by a stacked annealing process to reflatten the blanks. Finally the blanks are ground to a high level of precision to achieve the necessary surface and edge finish. Bear in mind that this and all subsequent steps are carried out on both sides of the platter so that it ends up with two recording surfaces.

Step 3: NiP plating

The aluminium blanks are now precision-ground using ‘stones’ that are composed of PVA and which contain silicon carbide as the abrasive agent. However, even with all the care taken to produce a good finish, the surfaces of the aluminium blanks produced in Step 2 are not yet nearly perfect enough. Because there’s a limit to the degree of smoothness to which aluminium alloy can be ground, the next step is to apply a hard coating that will take a better finish.
The soft aluminium is plated with a hard NiP layer so that it can be polished to an incredible degree of smoothness.
This hard coating is an amorphous alloy of nickel and phosphorous (NiP). It’s applied by an electroless process in which complex supersaturated solutions containing compounds of nickel and phosphorous react on the surface of the disk to leave the required NiP layer. This layer can now be further refined in the next step of the process.

Step 4: Precision polishing

After NiP plating, the substrate is polished in several steps using progressively finer abrasives based mostly on silicon carbide, diamond and aluminium oxide. The end result is a disk that has a roughness of less than 1Ã… (an Angstrom unit – 0.1nm, 0.0001µm or 0.0000001mm), which is about the size of an atom and 450 times less than the minimum size of the features in today’s microprocessors. Subsequent processes in the following steps increase the roughness to 4Ã…, the minimum level of surface flatness that will allow the head to fly reliably over the surface of the media with a controlled spacing of around 2nm.
Before the active layers are deposited on the platter, it's polished so that any roughness is within normal atomic dimensions.

Step 5: Washing and inspecting

Some manufacturers employ a conditioning step to remove any contamination that may be still present on the substrate. This involves spinning the disk and then very gently pressing a barely abrasive tape onto the surface. Then, before the magnetic data recording layers are applied, the disk is cleaned so that it’s free of any particles, scratches or contaminants. This is done using wet chemical exposures to acidic and alkaline solutions, followed by mechanical scrubbing in soapy solutions and then multiple rinses in deionised water. The disk is dried using a surface tension effect.
Before continuing, advanced optical inspection is used to detect particles, contaminants or scratches, and any disks with such defects are rejected. The process is fully automated using optics and electronic detectors combined with smart software to identify imperfections.

Step 6: Applying a soft 
magnetic underlayer

The next few steps involve depositing layers of various materials with differing magnetic properties using a process called ‘Sputtering’ that takes place in a multi-chamber vacuum deposition tool (see the ‘The sputtering process’, left.) The first of these layers is the soft magnetic underlayer. Otherwise known as the magnetic keeper layer, it’s a good conductor of magnetic fields. This layer is unique to Perpendicular Magnetic Recording technology (see ‘From LMR to PMR, overleaf) and has the result of enhancing the perpendicular field needed for writing by providing an ‘image field’ to the field produced by the head. The soft magnetic underlayer is made from an alloy, typically containing cobalt, nickel and iron.
In Western Digital’s latest platters this layer takes the form of two sub-layers separated by a four-atom thick layer of ruthenium. When two ferromagnetic layers are separated by a thin layer of ruthenium, the resulting interaction between the two layers is such that energy is minimised when the magnetisation between those layers is opposite. This is known as a synthetic antiferromagnet, and the end result is a 
keeper layer with properties that can be finely tuned. Only a few elements are known to do this, and ruthenium has the largest effect – which is why it’s used in modern hard disks.

Step 7: Adding the data storage layers

Now we come to the data-storage layers. These are made from an alloy of cobalt, chromium and platinum (CoCrPt). Cobalt is used because it has a hexagonal crystal structure, which is less symmetrical than the cubic crystal structure of other magnetic metals (such as iron and nickel). This allows the metal’s crystals to be oriented in the preferred magnetisation direction, which in the case of PMR is up or down. Chromium is added to give the cobalt resistance to corrosion and reduce the interactions between grains with a consequential improvement in the signal-to-noise ratio. Lastly, the platinum provides thermal stability, preventing data loss if the disk is subjected to external magnetic fields or heat. As with the two sub-layers that form the soft magnetic underlayer, the recording layer is composed of several sub-layers. Often thin layers of ruthenium separate these. Ruthenium also separates the soft magnetic underlayer from the recording layer, but here it performs a quite different function. Ruthenium has a hexagonal close-packed atomic structure similar to that of the CoCrPt alloy, so it’s used as a nucleation layer to help orient the crystals of the magnetic grains in the required direction. It’s also used to lower the degree of magnetic exchange coupling between the hard magnetic layers to produce advanced structures such as the widely used exchange coupled composite (ECC) structures. ECCs are used to help solve the ‘trilema’ in which attempts to improve any of the main requirements – thermal degradation, ease of magnetic switching and signal-to-noise ration – makes the others worse.

Step 8: Adding a protective overcoat

The final stage of the deposition process is to apply a diamond-like carbon overcoat layer to provide corrosion resistance and improve its mechanical reliability. This protective layer is typically 2nm thick and is applied by ion-beam or plasma-enhanced chemical vapour deposition techniques. The platter is now removed from the sputter deposition chamber.

Step 9: Lubricating the platter

Next, a lubricant layer is applied to the media in one or more steps depending on design. Typically the lubricant is dissolved in a solvent and applied to the platter by pulling it at a controlled rate. The rate of evaporation of the solvent in the meniscus that forms at the liquid air interface during the pulling process and the concentration of lubricant in the solution determine the resulting thickness on the disk, which is approximately 1nm. The layer comprises advanced perfluoropolyether lubricants combined with phosphazene additives that inhibit degradation of the lubricant. Typically the lubricant layer is partially bonded to the overcoat film and imparts durability to the head media interface system in a drive. The bonding process can be activated thermally or, more typically, by exposure to ultraviolet light. During the bonding process, cross-link chemical bonds form in the lubricant’s molecular chains to limit the mobility of the lubricant. However, the top-most portion of the lubricant is left to be fully mobile. After lubrication, a tape burnish process and then a head burnish process are used to wear out asperities (microscopic unevenness) and remove any loose particles that may remain on the surface of the platter after the sputter and lubrication processes have been completed.

Step 10: Testing and certification

The final step before the platter can take its place in a disk drive is to certify that it can pass what is referred to as a glide test. During the glide process a specially made head is ‘glided’ over the surface of the platter to detect any remaining asperity on the media. This process ensures that a head will be able to fly over the surface of the disk without crashing into any projections. If the platter passes this last step then it’s deemed ‘flyable’ or ‘prime’ and after a magnetic conditioning step it’s appropriately packed up and shipped to the drive factory.
The platter has to pass a glide test to make sure that the head won't crash into surface defects
The magnetic conditioning step involves exposure of the finished media to a large magnetic field in order to leave the magnetisation in the storage layer in a uniform state that will not interfere with the drive manufacturing process.
