    Abstract: A magnetic head has a sensor which employs the “Hall effect”. In one illustrative example, the sensor includes a generally planar body made of a semiconductor heterostructure; first and second contacts comprising first and second drains, respectively, which are formed over a first end of the body and spaced equally apart from a centerline of the body; and a third contact comprising a source formed over a second end of the body which is opposite the first end of the body. The semiconductor heterostructure is comprised of a high mobility two-dimensional electron or hole gas close to an air bearing surface (ABS) of the magnetic head so as to be exposed to magnetic field lines substantially normal to it from magnetically recorded bits. Advantageously, the sensor does not require magnetic materials utilized in conventional sensors and therefore does not suffer from magnetic noise associated therewith.

    Abstract: A magnetic sensor, memory, and magnetic imager has been described for sensing a magnetic field in two directions concurrently incorporating a bar of semiconductor material having a rectangular cross-section, electrodes for introducing current along the length of the semiconductor material, and electrodes positioned on respective corners of the rectangular cross-section at a common distance along the current path whereby the Hall voltage may be detected concurrently in two directions. The memory includes the above magnetic sensor plus a disk having a magnetic layer thereon for storing information, a positioner for moving the disk, a memory control circuit and a signal processor circuit. The magnetic imager includes a plurality of magnetic field sensors positioned in a one or two-dimensional array. The invention overcomes the problem of mapping magnetic fields with high spatial resolution with high magnetic sensitivity in two directions concurrently.

    Abstract: A differential Hall effect magnetic read head exhibiting improved resolution. The head includes dual Hall elements in which the elements are oriented so that their major surface is perpendicular to the surface of the recording medium and biased so that they respond to the component of magnetic flux which is parallel to the surface of the recording medium. Operation in this manner enables information recorded at extremely high densities to be easily read. In an alternative embodiment, a single Hall element is utilized and direct and delayed outputs are differentially compared in order to detect flux transitions.
