    摘要: A magnetoresistive read sensor incorporates a granular multilayer sensing element comprising a plurality of layers of generally flat particles (31) of a ferromagnetic material embedded in a nonmagnetic electrically conductive material. A bias layer (45) separated from the magnetoresistive sensing element by a spacer layer (43) provides a magnetic field to bias the magnetoresistive sensing element at a desired non-signal point. The ferromagnetic and the nonmagnetic materials are mutually immiscible, or may be miscible or partially miscible and processed in a manner to control interdiffusion. The magnetoresistive sensing element is formed by alternatively depositing layers of ferromagnetic material and layers of nonmagnetic conductive material on a substrate and then annealing the structure. During the annealing cycle, the layers of nonmagnetic material above and below the ferromagnetic layers penetrate at grain boundaries and break the continuity of the ferromagnetic layers to form layers or planes of ferromagnetic particles embedded in a matrix of nonmagnetic material.

    摘要: A magnetoresistive read sensor incorporates a multilayer sensing element formed of one or more magnetoresistive elements in a planar array, each magnetoresistive element having a multilayer structure of at least two ferromagnetic layers separated by a nonmagnetic layer. The ferromagnetic layers are coupled antiferromagnetically by magnetostatic coupling at opposing edges of the ferromagnetic layers. A bias layer separated from the magnetoresistive sensing element by a spacer layer provides a magnetic field to bias the magnetoresistive sensing element at a desired non-signal point for linear response. The magnetoresistive sensing element is formed by alternatively depositing layers of ferromagnetic material (47,51) and layers of nonmagnetic material (49) on a substrate (41) and then patterning the resulting structure using photolithographic techniques to provide a planar array of magnetoresistive elements. A conductive layer is deposited over the array filling in the spaces separating the magnetoresistive elements to provide electrical conductivity between the elements in the plane of the structure.

    摘要: A heterogeneous thin film structure (10) including a discontinuous layer (15) of ferromagnetic material deposited on an insulating substrate (13) and overcoated with a layer (17) of nonmagnetic electrically conductive material exhibits giant magnetoresistance in saturation fields on the order of 350 Oersteds. A layer of ferromagnetic material is deposited on a heated insulating substrate by evaporation techniques to form a layer of isolated ferromagnetic particles and overcoated with a nonmagnetic conductive material to form a plurality of ferromagnetic particles embedded in a nonmagnetic conductive matrix. As the ferromagnetic and nonmagnetic materials are deposited separately, it is not required that the two materials be immiscible and subsequent annealing is not required to induce phase separation.

    摘要: A magnetoresistive (MR) sensor 31 having electrically conductive lead structures 38,41 which are in electrical contact with the MR element 32 at spaced positions. The lead structures comprise a thin film layer of ruthenium, iridium or rhodium to serve as the principal current carrying element. A thin film overlayer or both a thin film underlayer and overlayer may be utilized to provide an adhesion layer for the principal current carrying element. Both the overlayer and underlayer are formed of a material taken from the group consisting of Ti and Ta.

    摘要: A magnetoresistive (MR) sensor is provided with longitud­inal bias by means of exchange coupling between the ferro­magnetic MR layer (NiFe) (18) and an ultrathin layer (20) of an antiferromagnetic material (FeMn) with a thickness within the range of about 2.5 to 20 nm. The exchange structure is capped by a protective film (22) to prevent oxidation damage to the exchange structure during subsequent thermal cycling. The capping layer is a dielectric or metal oxide (cermet) film such as Cr₂ O₃, Al₂ O₃, Cr - Si O or Si O₂. Alternatively, the capping layer can be a laminated FeMn-Lx film where Lx is taken from the group consisting of Cr₂ O₃, Al₂ O₃, and Si O₂.

    摘要: A magnetic recording medium is formed by depositing a layer of a cobalt-platinum magnetic alloy (which may also contain chromium) on a non-magnetic underlayer consisting of tungsten, molybdenum, niobium or vanadium. The magnetic alloy has a higher coercivity than when deposited on a chromium underlayer. The coercivity of the magnetic alloy becomes even higher when the substrate is maintained within such a temperature range during deposition of the magnetic alloy that an intermetallic compound of cobalt and the metal of the underlayer is formed at the interface between the magnetic alloy layer and the underlayer.
