Abstract: A magnetoresistive element (e.g., a spin-torque magnetoresistive memory element) includes a fixed magnetic layer, a free magnetic layer, having a high-iron alloy interface region located along a surface of the free magnetic layer, wherein the high-iron alloy interface region has at least 50% iron by atomic composition, and a first dielectric, disposed between the fixed magnetic layer and the free magnetic layer. The magnetoresistive element further includes a second dielectric, having a first surface that is in contact with the surface of the free magnetic layer, and an electrode, disposed between the second dielectric and a conductor. The electrode includes: (i) a non-ferromagnetic portion having a surface that is in contact with a second surface of the second dielectric, and (ii) a second portion having at least one ferromagnetic material disposed between the non-ferromagnetic portion of the electrode and the conductor.

Abstract: A semiconductor process integrates three bridge circuits, each include magnetoresistive sensors coupled as a Wheatstone bridge on a single chip to sense a magnetic field in three orthogonal directions. The process includes various deposition and etch steps forming the magnetoresistive sensors and a plurality of flux guides on one of the three bridge circuits for transferring a “Z” axis magnetic field onto sensors orientated in the XY plane.

Abstract: A magnetoresistive stack, including an electrically conductive material, and a seed region disposed above the electrically conductive material and including chromium (Cr). A chromium content of the seed region is large enough to render the seed region substantially non-magnetic. The magnetoresistive stack includes a fixed magnetic region disposed above the seed region. The fixed magnetic region includes a synthetic antiferromagnetic structure including a first ferromagnetic region disposed above the seed region, a coupling layer disposed on and in contact with the first ferromagnetic region, and a second ferromagnetic region disposed on and in contact with the coupling layer. The magnetoresistive stack includes one or more dielectric layers disposed above the second ferromagnetic region, and a free magnetic region disposed above the one or more dielectric layers.
