Mems sugar enabled nano‐modeling of elements in hard disk drive system along with reliability implications

We have demonstrated the impact of developments in nanotechnology to Hard Disk Drive (HDD) technology. We have put forth a proposition to enhance the modeling of future storage devices based on innovations in the field of Nanotechnology and MEMS using modeling tools. We have elucidated the influence of recent advances of Nano‐Composites, MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical Systems) etc. and their implications towards the development of storage devices in the future. We have discussed about reliability modeling, nano‐physics modeling and thinfilm polymer modeling of HDD technology on computer‐aided engineering tools such as MATLAB. We have also devised a design of Nanotechnology and MEMS enabled future HDD. Implementation of various models for array based MEMS cantilevers for HDD and have used SUGAR MEMS simulation library in MATLAB to model it. We have included the parameters to be kept in mind while modeling a HDD in light of the innovations in Nanotechnology and MEMS. Finally we have stated the working of a MEMS‐based actuator and presented its reliability modeling and the implementation of reliability modeling in MATLAB.
