    摘要: As track density requirements for disk drives have grown more aggressive, GMR devices have been pushed to narrower track widths to match the track pitch of the drive width. Narrower track widths degrade stability and can cause amplitude loss and side reading. This problem has been overcome by placing an additional layer of soft magnetic material on the conductive layer. The added layer prevents flux leakage into the gap region. A non-magnetic layer must be included to prevent exchange coupling to nearby magnetic layers. In at least one embodiment the conductive leads are used to accomplish this. A process for manufacturing the device is also described.

    摘要: As track density requirements for disk drives have grown more aggressive, GMR devices have been pushed to narrower track widths to match the track pitch of the drive width. Narrower track widths degrade stability, cause amplitude loss, due to the field originating from the hard bias structure, and side reading. This problem has been overcome in a process of manufacturing a device by adding an additional layer of soft magnetic material above the hard bias layers. The added layer provides flux closure to the hard bias layers thereby preventing flux leakage into the gap region. A non-magnetic layer must be included to prevent exchange coupling to the hard bias layers. In at least one embodiment the conductive leads are used to accomplish this.

    摘要: In bottom spin valves of the lead overlay type the longitudinal bias field that stabilizes the device tends to fall off well before the gap is reached. This problem has been overcome by inserting an additional antiferromagnetic layer between the hard bias plugs and the overlaid leads. This additional antiferromagnetic layer and the lead layer are etched in the same operation to define the read gap, eliminating the possibility of misalignment between them. The extra antiferromagnetic layer is also longitudinally biased so there is no falloff in bias strength before the edge of the gap is reached. A process for manufacturing the device is also described.

    摘要: An MRAM array structure and a method of its operation that is not subject to accidental writing on half-selected elements. Each element of the MRAM is an MTJ (magnetic tunneling junction) cell operating in accord with an STT (spin torque transfer) scheme for changing its free layer magnetization state and each cell is patterned to have a C-shape in the horizontal plane. The cell thereby operates by C-mode switching to provide stability against accidental writing by half-selection. During operation, switching of a cell's magnetization is accomplished with the assist of the pulsed magnetic fields of additional word lines that are formed either orthogonal to or parallel to the existing bit lines and that can carry currents in either direction as required to provide the assist.

    摘要: An MTJ memory cell and/or an array of such cells is provided wherein each such cell has a small circular horizontal cross-section of 1.0 microns or less in diameter and wherein the ferromagnetic free layer of each such cell has a magnetic anisotropy produced by a magnetic coupling with a thin antiferromagnetic layer that is formed on the free layer. The MTJ memory cell so provided is far less sensitive to shape irregularities and edge defects than cells of the prior art.
