Disk Drive/Data Storage
Hard disk drive applications include computers, digital video recorders, digital audio players, personal digital assistants, digital cameras and video game consoles. Manufacturing of hard disk drives involves a complex series of process steps including plating, texturing, sputtering, cleaning, burnishing and packaging.
The key technical driver for this highly competitive industry is increased aerial density which requires smaller, more compacted patterns, which in turn require precision and control.
MKS Instruments, Inc. has a broad portfolio of products to support the disk drive manufacturing market. These include power, pressure and flow control and tool and chamber controllers.
