    摘要: A magnetoresistive sensor having a magnetically anisotropic pinned layer structure. The pinned layer structure is formed over a seed layer having a surface that has been treated to texture the surface of the seed layer with an anisotropic roughness. This anisotropic roughness induces the magnetic anisotropy in the pinned layers. The treated seed layers also allow the pinned layer to maintain robust pinning without the need for a thick AFM layer, thereby reducing gap size.

    摘要: A magnetoresistive sensor having an improved hard bias stabilization structure. The sensor includes a hard bias layer that is formed on a surface that has been treated to form it with an anisotropic texture that induces a magnetic anisotropy oriented parallel with the air bearing surface. This magnetic anisotropy is further aided by a shape induced magnetic anisotropy caused by configuring the hard bias layers to have a width parallel with the air bearing surface that is larger than a stripe height of the hard bias layer measured perpendicular to the air bearing surface.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for providing magnetostriction control in a synthetic free layer of a magnetic memory device is disclosed. A first free layer of CoFe alloy has a first thickness. A second free layer of NiFe alloy has a second thickness. At least one of the CoFe alloy and NiFe alloy includes at least one of B, P, Si, Nb, Zr, Hf, Ta and Ti. The relative thicknesses of the first and second free layer are modified to obtain a desired magnetostriction without a change in the magenetoristance ratio, ΔR/R. The synthetic free layer may also be configured to have a net magnetic moment. A sensor may be a current-in-plane or a current-perpendicular-to-the-plane sensor. The sensor also may be configured to be a GMR sensor or a TMR sensor.

    摘要: In one illustrative example, a spin valve (SV) sensor of the self-pinned type includes a free layer; an antiparallel (AP) self-pinned layer structure; and a non-magnetic electrically conductive spacer layer in between the free layer and the AP self-pinned layer structure. The AP self-pinned layer structure includes a first AP pinned layer having a first thickness; a second AP pinned layer having a second thickness; and an antiparallel coupling (APC) layer formed between the first and the second AP pinned layers. The first thickness is slightly greater than the second thickness. Configured as such, the AP pinned layer structure provides for a net magnetic moment that is in the same direction as a magnetic field produced by the sense current flow, which reduces the likelihood of amplitude flip in the SV sensor.
