    摘要: The present invention discloses a design for a single-chip dual-axis magnetic field sensor, based on magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) elements and permanent magnets integrated on a semiconductor substrate to produce two types of sensor bridges that detect orthogonal magnetic field components. The orthogonal magnetic field component detection capability results from the different types of sensor bridges that can be produced by varying the shape of the MTJ elements and the bias fields that can be created by permanent magnets. Because the permanent magnets can create orthogonal bias fields on the different sensor bridges, it is possible to use a single pinned layer to set direction for both sensor bridges. This is advantageous because it permits the two-axis sensor to be fabricated on a single semiconductor chip without the need for specialized processing technology such as local heating, or deposition of multiple magnetoresistive films with different pinned layers setting directions

    摘要: The present invention discloses a single-chip referenced full-bridge magnetoresistive magnetic-field sensor. The single-chip sensor is a Wheatstone bridge arrangement of magnetoresistive sensing elements and reference elements. The sensing elements and reference elements are formed from either magnetic tunnel junctions or giant magnetoresistive materials. The sensitivity of the reference and sensor elements is controlled through one or a combination of magnetic bias, exchange bias, shielding, or shape anisotropy. Moreover, the bridge output is tuned by setting the ratio of the reference and sensor arm resistance values to a predetermined ratio that optimizes the bridge output for offset and symmetry. The single-chip referenced-bridge magnetic field sensor of the present invention exhibits excellent temperature stability, low offset voltage, and excellent voltage symmetry.

    摘要: The present invention discloses a design and manufacturing method for a single-chip magnetic sensor bridge. The sensor bridge comprises four magnetoresistive elements. The magnetization of the pinned layer of each of the four magnetoresistive elements is set in the same direction, but the magnetization directions of the free layers of the magnetoresistive elements on adjacent arms of the bridge are set at different angles with respect to the pinned layer magnetization direction. The absolute values of the angles of the magnetization directions of the free layers of all four magnetoresistive elements are the same with respect with their pinning layers. The disclosed magnetic biasing scheme enables the integration of a push-pull Wheatstone bridge magnetic field sensor on a single chip with better performance, lower cost, and easier manufacturability than conventional magnetoresistive sensor designs.
