Abstract: Embodiments relate to xMR sensors, including giant magnetoresistive (GMR), tunneling magnetoresistive (TMR) or anisotropic magnetoresistive (AMR), and the configuration of xMR strips within xMR sensors. In an embodiment, an xMR strip includes a plurality of differently sized and/or differently oriented serially connected portions. In another embodiment, an xMR strip includes a varying width or other characteristic. Such configurations can address discontinuities associated with conventional xMR sensors and improve xMR sensor performance.

Abstract: The described techniques address issues associated with coreless current sensors by implementing a current sensor solution that may use as few as two, two-dimensional (2D) linear sensors. The discussed techniques provide a coreless current sensor solution that is independent of the sensor position with respect to a current-carrying conductor. An algorithm is also described for auto-calibration of sensor position with respect to a current-carrying conductor to calculate the current flowing through the conductor. The calculation of current may be performed independent of the position of the current-carrying conductor with respect to the sensor, and thus the disclosed techniques provide additional advantages regarding installation flexibility without sacrificing measurement accuracy.

Abstract: The described techniques facilitate the use of a magnetic field sensor that implements the same magnetic layer stack for the detection of the x, y, and z components of an external magnetic field. The sensor advantageously is insensitive to orthogonal stray fields and operates with a reduced offset compared to conventional magnetic field sensors. The linear regime implemented by the sensor to facilitate magnetic field detection may also be adjusted per application by tuning the current strength.

Abstract: Example implementations are concerned with magnetoresistive sensors and with corresponding fabrication methods for magnetoresistive sensors. One example here relates to a magnetoresistive sensor having a layer stack. The layer stack comprises a reference layer having a reference magnetization, which is fixed and has a first magnetic orientation. The layer stack comprises a magnetically free layer. The magnetically free layer has a magnetically free magnetization. The magnetically free magnetization is variable in the presence of an external magnetic field. The magnetically free magnetization has a second magnetic orientation in a ground state. One of the first or the second magnetic orientation is oriented in-plane and the other is oriented out-of-plane. The layer stack comprises a metal multilayer. In this case, either the metal multilayer is arranged adjacent to the magnetically free layer, or the metal multilayer constitutes the magnetically free layer.

Abstract: An embodiment relates to a magnetic sensor device (500) comprising a magneto-resistive structure (501). The magneto-resistive structure (501) comprises a magnetic free layer (502) configured to spontaneously generate a closed flux magnetization pattern in the free layer (502). The magneto-resistive structure (500) also comprises a magnetic reference layer (506) having a non-closed flux reference magnetization pattern. The magnetic sensor device (500) further comprises a current generator (580) configured to generate an electric current in one or more layers of the magneto-resistive structure (501). The electric current has a non-zero directional component perpendicular to the reference magnetization pattern.

Abstract: A magnetoresistive device that can include a magnetoresistive stack and an etch-stop layer (ESL) disposed on the magnetoresistive stack. A method of manufacturing the magnetoresistive device can include: depositing the magnetoresistive stack, the ESL and a mask layer on a substrate; performing a first etching process to etch a portion of the mask layer to expose a portion of the ESL; and performing a second etching process to etch the exposed portion of the ESL. The second etching process can also etch a portion of the magnetoresistive stack. The first and second etching processes can be different. For example, the first etching process can be a reactive etching process and the second etching process can be a non-reactive etching process.
