    摘要: A magnetic recording data storage system of high recording density is made possible by an improved magnetoresistive sensor. The sensor has a ferromagnetic sensing layer that is a laminated layer of two ferromagnetic films antiferromagnetically coupled to one another and separated by an antiferromagnetically coupling film. By appropriate selection of the thickness of the nonmagnetic antiferromagnetically coupling film, the ferromagnetic films become antiferromagnetically coupled and their magnetizations rotate as a single rigid unit in the presence of the external magnetic field to be sensed. The ferromagnetic sensing layer can be used in conventional magnetoresistive sensors of the anisotropic magnetoresistive (AMR) type and in spin valve magnetoresistive (SVMR) sensors. In the spin valve sensor, the laminated ferromagnetic sensing layer serves as the free layer and is preferably formed of two films of nickel-iron (Ni-Fe) separated by a ruthenium (Ru) antiferromagnetically coupling film. Because the two ferromagnetic films have their moments aligned antiparallel, then, assuming the two films are made of the same material, by selecting the two films to have different thicknesses the effective free layer thickness can be reduced without significantly reducing the magnetoresistance.

    摘要: A magnetic data track used in a magnetic shift register memory system may be fabricated by forming a multilayered stack of alternating dielectric and/or silicon layers. A trench is etched in the multi-layer stack structure. A selective etching process is used to corrugate the walls of trench. A seed layer is applied to the walls and bottom of the trench; the seed layer is covered with a magnetic layer. The trench is filled with an insulating material. A patterned layer is applied and portions of insulating material exposed by the pattern are removed, forming holes. Magnetic material and seed layer exposed in holes is selectively removed. The holes are filled with insulating material and connecting leads are attached to data tracks.

    摘要: The use of ferrimagnetic materials is proposed for use in magnetic devices. Such magnetic devices include magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJ) which have at least two magnetic layers separated by an insulating barrier layer, wherein at least one of the two magnetic layers is ferrimagnetic. Such MTJ's are used in MRAM (magnetic random access memory) structures. Where the magnetic device is a magnetic sensor, it preferably includes a layer that comprises a ferrimagnetic material separated from another magnetic layer by a barrier layer and the magnetizations of the magnetic layer are oriented at an angle to one another.
