    摘要: Dual-type tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) elements and associated methods of fabrication are disclosed that allow for higher bias voltages. In one embodiment, the dual-type TMR element includes a lower pinned layer structure, a lower tunnel barrier layer, a ferromagnetic free layer structure, an upper tunnel barrier layer, and an upper pinned layer structure. The lower pinned layer structure has a first Fermi level, while the upper pinned layer structure has a second Fermi level that is different than the first Fermi level of the lower pinned layer structure. By having different Fermi levels, the bias voltage induced in the TMR element may advantageously be increased without a significant reduction in TMR.

    摘要: A magnetoresistive sensor having an in stack bias structure for biasing the magnetic moment of the free layer. The in stack bias structure includes a magnetic bias layer that may include a layer of NiFe and a layer of CoFe. A layer of antiferromagnetic material (AFM layer) is exchange coupled with the bias layer. Preferably, the NiFe layer of the bias layer is located adjacent to the AFM layer. A non-magnetic spacer layer is sandwiched between the free layer and the bias layer. The spacer layer comprises NiFeCr and is of such a thickness that magnetostatic coupling between the free layer and the bias layer across the spacer layer biases the magnetic moment of the free layer in a direction antiparallel to the magnetic moment of the bias layer. The NiFeCr promotes a desired crystalline growth in the bias layer that causes excellent exchange coupling between the bias layer and the AFM layer.
