Abstract
Accurate servo track writers (STWs) are indispensable for hard disk drives (HDDs) with high track density. We have developed a prototype hybrid-type STW, which has two writing stages, and compared the servo patterns with those by the conventional STW. The experimental results are described showing that the hybrid-type STW reduces the maximum value of repeatable runout (RRO) by about 40% and the track misregistration (TMR) in the HDD.
