Question: Is there an ETF that buys US inflation linked Corporate Bonds? How about a mutual fund?

Answer: afaik, there are very few inflation linked corporate bond issues and thus there is no such ETF or mutual fund.

think about it -- why would a corporation want to issue inflation linked bonds?

you can devise a strategy to approximate the same thing in a couple of ways. If the how to do this doesn't come easily to mind, I suggest not trying it -- you'd not understand the risks and thus would likely end up a big loser.
