General Information
Seagate developed the first 5.25-inch hard disk drive (HDD), the 5-
megabyte ST-506, in 1980. They were a major supplier in
the microcomputer market during the 1980s, especially after the
introduction of the IBM XT in 1983.

Today Seagate, along with its competitor Western Digital, dominates


the HDD market. Much of their growth has come through acquisition
of competitors.

Revenue Comparison

Both charts show a rise-and-fall pattern, with Seagate's more marked. Since
2012, Seagate annual revenues have declined from $14.94bn to $11.2bn in
fiscal 2016, down 25 per cent, and a projected $10.9bn in fiscal 2017.

It appears that WD has been managed better than Seagate since 2012.

Investors’ Worrying Situation

• Global annual revenue for FY17 is the lowest one since FY11 and
down 4% from the former fiscal year.
• For the quarter sales fall 10% sequentially and 9% Y/Y.
• Net income down 41% Q/Q to $114 million
• Even total drive capacity shipped decreased 3% from the former
quarter to 62.2EB and average capacity per drive shipped is the
same as for the former three-month period, 1.8TB, a figure that
was constantly growing since many years.
• Cuts number of employees by 600
• Shares were down $7.36, or 19%, at $32.40

FUJIMI Confidential 18
FUJIMI-MICRO TECHNOLOGY

Market Position
Investors’ Worrying Situation

Now 92% of Seagate's revenue are on HDDs and 8% in other businesses


(enterprise systems, flash and others).

This bad situation could explain the replacement of Steve Luczo by Dave
Mosley as CEO effective last October being in charge to find a new
business model for the company to try to expand, as it is almost totally
concentrated on HDDs becoming a shrinking market, and never becoming
a leader in SSDs.

Without any change Seagate's sales could be below $10 billion next fiscal
year. Revenue is expected to be a little better next quarter: between $2.5 to
2.6 billion.

FUJIMI Confidential 19
FUJIMI-MICRO TECHNOLOGY

Market Position
Shipments of hard and solid state disk (HDD/SSD) drives worldwide from
2015 to 2021 (in millions)

Estimates suggest that shipments of HDDs will decline, falling to 395


million units shipped in 2017. SSD shipments are expected to increase to
190 million shipped units that same year.

FUJIMI Confidential 20
FUJIMI-MICRO TECHNOLOGY

Market Position
Tardy entry into helium drives

When perpendicular magnetic recording (PMR) began to hit the buffers in


terms of areal density improvements after 2010, WD began to develop
helium-filled drive technology.

The drives were filled with helium instead if air, and it had lower friction
than air, meaning disk platters didn't need to be so strong, and could be
thinner, meaning more could be fitted inside a standard drive enclosure,
meaning an 80 per cent or better capacity increase.

FUJIMI Confidential 21
FUJIMI-MICRO TECHNOLOGY

Market Position
Seagate preferred to develop shingled magnetic recording (SMR) as a a
PMR capacity boost and look to post-PMR HAMR (heat-assisted magnetic
recording) technology, then slated to arrive in 2016, as its areal density
get-out-of-PMR-jail card.

But WD developed SMR as well as helium-filled drive technology, leaving


Seagate in an air-filled hole until it introduced its own helium drive
technology in 2016, four years after WD, with a seven-platter, 10TB drive.

In essence Seagate was four years late in delivering helium-filled drive


technology, giving WD an advantage.

FUJIMI Confidential 22
FUJIMI-MICRO TECHNOLOGY

Market Position
Hybrid flash-disk drives

When SSDs began to become popular as a means of getting much faster


read-write access to data than disk, flash bits were far more expensive
than disk bits.

The obvious halfway house was to fit a small slug of flash cache to disk
drives and so speed up access to high-priority data.

Seagate, and lots of other companies, took to this view and introduced
what became a stream of hybrid small form factor (2.5-inch) drives for
notebooks and even tablet computers.

FUJIMI Confidential 23
FUJIMI-MICRO TECHNOLOGY

Market Position
The first was a Momentus 5400 PSD drive in 2006. It was followed by
the Momentus XT in May 2010.

Back in 2012, we wrote that "Luczo said that by 2017 over 85 per cent of
Seagate's HDD production will be of hybrid drives, covering both
consumer and enterprise products. Cold boot times are just 2 secs slower
than an SSD, making hybrid HDDs a good fit for the tablet and Ultrabook
notebook market.“

However, it was not to be. The price of flash bits fell fast enough for
buyers to split into two camps; SSD fans willing to spend cash on
performance, and disk fans preferring to spend it on capacity.

FUJIMI Confidential 24
FUJIMI-MICRO TECHNOLOGY

Market Position
Tablet computers went for flash because of concerns about power
consumption, weight and fragility around disks. Suppliers like Apple
twinned proper SSDs with disk drives in its Fusion drive idea.

Performance-hungry desktops and workstations plumped for SSDs.


Enterprise data centres began replacing fast 2.5-inch disk drives with SSDs
too and, basically, the hybrid flash/disk drive market was going nowhere.

Seagate would have made a better choice by going full tilt into supplying
SSDs, which is what fellow disk drive manufacturers Toshiba and Western
Digital did.

Slurry to Seagate Processes

1P Sample Z1709

oImprove planarization ability to planarize GS with less removal amount:


 Apply better masking agent
 Modify PSD

How to improve ?
Adding additives that work as protection layer and increase small
silica particle population. Small silica particle adhere to the disk
surface and they would behave as protection layer.

Current Activities

Tatsu currently under qualification stage (no mass production yet). Last
quarter 8k sample submitted to Media. Next year March will submit another
120k to media as second qualification. Their plan is 500k during MP but so far
nothing is confirmed, only plan.

Tatsu can not meet the requirement of HMS Wq Max and HMS Wq, this is the
qualification problem and internal struggle to improve.

If Tatsu approved, this program will run in plant 1 and expected running only
10% of Makara Plus. Priority still to run Makara Plus.

Fujimi 1P (Z1709) and 2P (W1512 G4 G5) sample will be used in Makara plus
program if approved.

FUJIMI Confidential 41

Future Activities
Current glass production line up as POR is based on conventional
processes which include lapping, 1P (Cerium Oxide), 2P (Silica Acidic Base)
and etc… based on Fremont processes.

By mid of Jan ‘18, Seagate will send the 1st qualification sample to
Woodland plant.

Current glass start up substrate is 67mm with thickness 0.635mm for 12 TB


for Nearline – Mobula program.

The idea of production line up processes which no need 1P and directly to


2P will be future idea.
