Description

A kind of magnetostrictive micro-actuator that is used for head servo
Technical field
The invention belongs to technical field of data storage, be specifically related to a kind of magnetostrictive micro-actuator that is used for head servo.
Background technology
In data storage devices such as hard disc of computer, use the film-type magnetic head that the card magnetic information is write or reads usually.A kind of one-piece construction figure of hard disk as shown in Figure 1,10 for taking the inside primary structure that the hard disk shell is seen apart under clean.Various assemblies in the disk at first are fixedly mounted on the chassis 14, are connected on the computer cabinet by installing and locating hole 12 usefulness screws again.Read/write head 13 is installed on the slide block foremost of head arm 16, and magnetic-head actuator 11 drives head arm 16 and rotate around stationary shaft, drives read/write head 13 and does tracking and follow the tracks of and move on disk disk body 15.Magnetic-head actuator 11 generally adopts voice coil motor as servo drive in the current hard disk.Read/write head 13 directly on slide block one shape, slide block can under the effect of air-gap on disk disk body 15 surfaces of rotation with the flight of nano level height.Slide block directly is assemblied on the universal joint and semi-girder of head arm 16 by HGA (Head Gimbal Assembly) technology.
Along with developing rapidly of material preparation science and microelectric technique, hard disc of computer track location mechanism is constantly to small-sized, lighting development.Magnetic head the flying height on the hard disc of computer from beginning from the about 140 μ m high developments of hard disk below 20nm, track width and track pitch also develop into about 1 μ m at present from original treaty 100 μ m, thereby disk size is rapidly improved.Simultaneously, the rotational speed of magnetic head on hard disk 360r/min from the outset develops into present 7200r/min, and the trend that further is increased to 12000r/min is arranged.But, along with continuous decline of magnetic head flight height and rotating speed improve rapidly, magnetic head can be because of the eccentric offtrack track of hard disk, be difficult to catch fast the signal on the magnetic track, thereby the bearing accuracy of raising hard disc of computer magnetic head has become the growing an urgent demand of hard disc of computer capacity with tracking magnetic track speed.
The hard disc of computer head position mode of generally using is a voice coil motor closed loop servo mode at present, this mode can satisfy the requirement of servo tracking preferably when magnetic storage density is also lower, be very difficult but the quick high accuracy of sub-micrometer scale magnetic track is located.Adopt two stage servomechanism better to address this problem, promptly voice coil motor is carried out coarse positioning as first order servo control mechanism, the micro-actuator that adds a more close slide block in addition directly carries out the servo positioning of the high-precision second level to the magnetic head on the slide block.Servo positioning micro-actuator in the second level has three kinds of installation sites at present, be mounted between universal joint and the slide block respectively, be installed in the middle of the magnetic head cantilever and with the conjuncted manufacturing moulding of slide block.Figure 2 shows that and between universal joint 5 and slide block 2a, design a little detent piece 3a separately, and be connected with universal joint 5 by pad 4.As for conjuncted micro-actuator then is to be manufactured on the slide block by MEMS technology is integrated, does side-to-side movement by the action drive read/write head of conjuncted micro-actuator again and carries out servo positioning.More than two kinds of installation sites be fit to adopt electrostatic plates type micro-actuators, its advantage is to make very complicated microstructure by MEMS technology, but that shortcoming is the power output of electrostatic plates type micro-actuator is smaller.Figure 3 shows that and a kind of micro-actuator 3c is made in structure between semi-girder 6c and the slide block 2c, this structure is suitable for adopting piezoelectric ceramics (PZ) material to do micro-actuator, its advantage is that control is fairly simple, processing is than being easier to, and the micro-actuator on the present magnetic head is mainly made with PZT piezo technology (Piezoe-lectric Technology).But also there is following shortcoming in the micro-actuator that adopts piezoelectric to do: first: dilatation can take place in piezoelectric in electric field, but because distortion of materials is higher than not, in order to reach the deformation length requirement, usually need to add that higher driving voltage forms stronger electric field, and that this requires for operating voltage is usually less than 5 volts hard disk is quite awkward.Second: Curie point lost efficacy.When the working temperature of piezoelectric ceramics surpasses its Curie-point temperature, can cause Problem of Failure, cause the piezoelectric effect permanent failure because lose polarization.And the Curie temperature of piezoceramic material only is about 180 ℃ ± 100.The 3rd: response speed is fast inadequately, is difficult to be applied in the device that requires to carry out fast.
The Mou Jiangqiang of Singapore DSI research institute, Chen Shixin etc. have showed independent micro-actuator block structure as shown in Figure 2 at the document " Modeling and Simulation of aSingle Crystal Silicon Microactuator for Hard Disk Drive " that Modeling andSimulation of Microsystems 2001 delivers; Hiroshi Toshiyoshi and Makoto Mita etc. are at JOURNAL OFMICROELECTROMECHANICAL SYSTEMS, VOL.11, NO.6, the document of delivering on the DECEMBER 2002 " A MEMS Piggyback Actuator for Hard-Disk Drives " has disclosed the structure of conjuncted micro-actuator as shown in Figure 3; Shinji Koganezawa and Takeyori Hara are at FUJITSU Sci.Tech.J., 37,2, p.212-219, the document that December 2001 delivers " Developmentof Shear-Mode Piezoelectric Microactuator for Precise Head Positioning " has then been showed the micro-actuator structure with the piezoceramic material design as shown in Figure 4.
The intermetallic compound Tb1-xDyxFe2-y that the beginning of the seventies, people such as U.S. A.E.Clark found to have the laves phase structure has good magnetostriction performance, low magnetocrystalline anisotropy and surpasses the Curie temperature of room temperature, and find that adding compressive pre-stress can improve the magnetostriction coefficient of this material directionally solidified crystal under downfield significantly, but thereby make this material become a kind of material of practical application, caused the extensive attention of scientific circles and industrial community.The saturation magnetostriction coefficient of this material reaches 1500~2000ppm, is called as " giant magnetostriction material ".(wide (the many characteristics such as 1Hz~10kHz) of<=1 μ s, response band that the strain of giant magnetostriction material is big, high reliability is arranged, energy density is big, response speed is fast.
Terbium-dysprosium-iron giant magnetostriction material (Tb-Dy-Fe Giant Magnetostrictive Material, abbreviate REGMsM or GMM as), i.e. giant magnetostrictive material (Super Magnetostrictive Material), magnetostriction material in large or Terfenol-D.It is " super magnetic " material in China person also.With piezoelectric (PZT) and traditional magnetostriction materials Ni, Co etc. compare, and GMM has particular performances: (1) magnetostrictive strain at room temperature is big, is 40~50 times of Ni, are 5~8 times of PZT; (2) energy density height is 400~500 times of Ni, is 10~25 times of PZT; (3) response speed is fast, generally below a few tens of milliseconds, even reaches the microsecond level; (4) power output is big, and load capacity is strong, can reach 220~800N; (5) its magnetic machine coupling coefficient is big, and the conversion efficiency height of electromagnetic energy-mechanical energy generally can reach 72%; (6) Curie-point temperature height, stable work in work, and for high-power, the overheated permanent polarization complete obiteration that easily makes PZT because of device, even and GMM works more than the Curie-point temperature and also only its Magnetostrictive Properties temporarily to be disappeared, when being cooled to Curie-point temperature when following, its Magnetostrictive Properties is recovered again fully.In addition, the velocity of sound is low, is 1/3 of Ni approximately, 1/2 of PZT.
In addition, giant magnetostrictive material can also be deposited on the form of film and constitute intelligent device on the substrate.In recent years, many researchers adopt sputtering method to prepare the rare earth-transition metal noncrystal membrane on non-magnetic substrate (as silicon, polyimide polyimid), and the structure and the Magnetostrictive Properties of film studied, find that magnetostrictive thin film has good soft magnet performance, magnetocrystalline anisotropy is low, can produce very big magnetostrictive strain under room temperature and downfield.These preparation methods make that also the micro-actuator that utilizes the microelectron-mechanical manufacturing process to make giant magnetostrictive material becomes possibility.

Embedded solenoid 53 is centered around on the ultra-magnetic telescopic actuator block 29, and excitation is provided, and its lead terminal 33a is connected to flexible lead wire 35 by coil pad 33b.
An end that flexibly connects plate 30 is inserted between the end 28c and ultra-magnetic telescopic actuator block 29 of magnetic circuit 28, and fixing with ultra-magnetic telescopic actuator block 29, and the other end and semi-girder 21 are fixing.Flexibly connect an end that links to each other with semi-girder 21 on the plate 30 and be provided with lead pad 32 and tie point 31, the other end is provided with coil pad 33b and side center fixed pad 34.Lead pad 32 is connected with the flexible lead wire 35 of semi-girder 21, and tie point 31 is used to flexibly connect the fixing of plate 30 and semi-girder 21.Side center fixed pad 34 is used to flexibly connect the fixing of plate 30 and ultra-magnetic telescopic actuator block 29, and coil pad 33b is used to connect the lead-in wire of embedded solenoid 53.Flexibly connect plate 30 and have thin and wide profile, so vertical direction has certain elasticity, and therefore horizontal direction can be used as the stationary shaft of ultra-magnetic telescopic actuator block 29 because broad.This just makes ultra-magnetic telescopic actuator block 29 1 ends fix, and the other end then can swing under the driving of ultra-magnetic telescopic actuator block 29, realizes the precision positioning of read/write head 26.

Usually, slide block 25 comprises conventional side read/write head 26 and the ABS air bearing of bottom surface and the tie point at top center position, the micro-actuator conjuncted of the present invention design with slide block 25, the tie point at a top center position of routine is expanded to preposition tie point 24 and tie point 31, with the weight of balance slide block.
The embedded solenoid 53 main excitation fields that produce.Monocrystalline silicon spring 55 is mainly used to reduce the impact of motion.Ultra-magnetic telescopic actuator block 29 deflects under the effect of excitation field (bending), thereby drives slide block 25 mass motions.For ultra-magnetic telescopic actuator block 29 can normally be swung, the space between embedded solenoid 53, the ultra-magnetic telescopic actuator block 29 must be clog-free.This can fill sacrifice layer 56 man-hour and realize by adding.
For ultra-magnetic telescopic actuator block 29 can normally be swung, the space between embedded solenoid 53, the ultra-magnetic telescopic actuator block 29 must be clog-free.This can fill sacrifice layer 56 man-hour and realize by adding.When promptly on silicon chip 29c, growing embedded solenoid 53, micro-actuator 29 and monocrystalline silicon spring 55, in the slit, insert sacrificial layer material, as earth silicon material, formula solenoid 53 to be embedded then, monocrystalline silicon spring 55 and ultra-magnetic telescopic actuator block 29 are cleaned with salicylic acid after growing and finishing again, sacrifice layer 56 are washed off get final product.Flexibly connect in bending section insertion ultra-magnetic telescopic actuator block 29 right sides and the slit between magnetic circuit 28 right-hand members of plate 30, fixing with ultra-magnetic telescopic actuator block 29 right sides bonding or welding, can guarantee secure bond between the two.Consider the difficulty of manufacturing, also can change the bending section and ultra-magnetic telescopic actuator block 29 right-hand member tops bonding or the welding that flexibly connect plate 30 into.
Fig. 5 has showed the hierarchy of semi-girder each several part, wherein connection pads 24, flexible lead wire 35 and flexibly connect cable 36 and link to each other with slide block.Head arm among Fig. 1 16 is repainted as the semi-girder among Fig. 5 21, flexible board 22 is fixed on semi-girder 21 belows, the Front-end Design of flexible board 22 has a universal joint 23, design has slide block bonding dish 20 in the middle of the universal joint 23, slide block bonding dish 20 can be that pad also can be an adhesive spots, connection pads 24 welding on it and the slide block 25 or be bonded together, thus provide the support of slide block 25 and fixing.Flexible board 22 and universal joint 23 all are flexible member, and the degree of freedom of several directions such as level, vertical, upset, pitching can be provided jointly.Flexibly connect cable 36 and be directly connected on the read/write head 26, input write signal or output read signal.Flexible lead wire 35 is directly connected on the lead pad 32 that flexibly connects plate 30, and the lead terminal 33a that is connected to embedded solenoid 53 provides the drive current of embedded solenoid 53.The tie point 31 that flexibly connects plate 30 also is fixed on the semi-girder 21.
Fig. 6 has illustrated the hierarchy of ultra-magnetic telescopic actuator block.It is by having positive excess magnetostrictive effect material (as TbFe 2Film) the positive excess magnetostrictive layer of Zu Chenging, middle layer (as silicon chip or polyimide base film), have negative ultra-magnetic telescopic effect material (as SmFe 2Film) the negative ultra-magnetic telescopic layer of forming is formed.Substrate can be that as shown in the figure polyimide material also can be other materials such as silicon.To studies show that of rare-earth-iron giant magnetostrictive material, SmFe under the room temperature 2Magnetostriction numerical value near TbFe 2Level, polycrystalline SmFe 2Room temperature saturation magnetostriction λ be-1560 * 10 -6, TbFe 2Be 1753 * 10 -6, both magnetostriction coefficients equate under downfield especially.The semi-girder of the bimetallic strip type that is constituted jointly by positive and negative magnetic effect can strengthen overall magnetostrictive effect, reduces the initial curve of semi-girder.Micro-actuator of the present invention has promptly adopted this film-type ultra-magnetic telescopic hierarchy.
The structure of the structure of universal joint and flexible board and present commercial hard disk universal joint and flexible board can be basic identical, difference is the connecting portion of universal joint and slide block, in order to make the certain amount of deformation energy accumulation of super mangneto film, the length of film can not be too short, for this reason, the bond pads of universal joint and slide block must be moved to a side of slide block, make opposite side can have the length of hundreds of micron to make super mangneto film.The universal joint that slide block is connected with the semi-girder flexible board has three kinds of common structures: (i) be cross structure; It (ii) is the convex structure; It (iii) is snake type structure.Though first, the third can make slide block that better suspension characteristic is arranged, complex structure, and second kind simple in structure, various response characteristics also can satisfy the magnetic head requirement, thereby also are the general selections of present commercial disk.The present invention has also adopted this structure, but adjusting to the first side of close read-write with the tie point of slide block, simultaneously having increased by one at opposite side again flexibly connects plate and fixes, this design may make the dynamic response characteristic of slide block worsen, and needs to adopt the soft as far as possible plate that flexibly connects for this reason.
From above structure as can be seen, the groundwork principle of micro-actuator is: generate an electromagnetic field after the embedded solenoid energising, the super mangneto membraneous material with positive excess magnetic effect in the embedded solenoid can extend on magnetic direction, and the membraneous material with negative super magnetic effect can shorten on magnetic direction, because film-type micro-actuator one end is connected to semi-girder and fixes by flexibly connecting plate, thereby whole slide block is done oscillating motion because reacting force can drive, this movement locus is an arc, but direction of motion is the vertical direction along the disk track, thereby can be used as the fine positioning that two stage servomechanism is realized the disk track.
From the structure of micro-actuator and principle of work as can be known, this micro-actuator can change to negative magnetic materials one lateral deviation, but can not change to positive magnetic materials one lateral deviation, also be that the motion of micro-actuator is always unidirectional.If adopt paired this micro-actuator can realize the motion of both direction undoubtedly, but this can bring very high cost, even can not realize.If only adopt single micro-actuator, must consider that in design motion with the first order has been designed to certain overshoot (/ or undershoot), utilizes partial motion to do compensation again during two-stage servosystem with regard to requiring.This reality has been transferred to structural complicacy in the complicacy of system's control.The solution of realization twocouese motion can also be finished by two groups of solenoid.One group of solenoid produces the excitation field of film length direction, makes the film semi-girder to negative super magnetic materials one lateral bending song; The magnetic field that another group solenoid then produces the film X direction makes the film semi-girder to positive excess magnetic materials one lateral bending song.But the difficulty of processing two groups of solenoid in minimum space is very big, and cost surpasses its benefit of bringing probably.
The solution that the present invention adopts is to add bias magnetic field, makes super magnetic materials just be in the center of beat motion when static state, so just can realize the motion of both direction.Bias magnetic field can also can be provided with permanent magnet and produce by adding permanent magnet or adopting the suitable dc bias current that superposes in drive current to produce in the both sides of ultra-magnetic telescopic actuator block 29.
