Abstract:
A magnetic multi-element alloy film adapted to be used in a high-frequency operation is provided. The magnetic multi-element alloy film is employed to improve a Q factor and an inductance value of a thin film inductor operated in high frequency. The design concept of a multi-element high-entropy alloy is introduced into the magnetic multi-element alloy film. With material characteristics including high randomness, nanometer microcrystalline structure, low coercive magnetic field and high resistivity, the magnetic multi-element alloy film can still have favorable soft magnetism when operated in high frequency.

Abstract:
There are provided a magnetic thin film utilizing a granular film and having excellent high frequency characteristics and a method of manufacturing the same, and a multilayered magnetic film and magnetic components and electronic equipment utilizing the same. A nonreactive sputtering is performed so that there is no oxidation of a magnetic metal, and a saturation magnetization is increased to increase a resonant frequency of permeability. Also, a multi-target simultaneous sputtering is combined with the nonreactive sputtering so that in a granular structure including magnetic grains and an insulating layer a size of the magnetic grains and a thickness of the insulating layer are optimized thereby ensuring a proper magnitude for a crystalline magnetic anisotropy within the grains and excellent soft magnetic properties. Further, the optimization of the thickness of the insulating layer has the effect of improving a resistivity, decreasing an eddy current and improving an exchange interaction between the magnetic grains.
Abstract:
A planar inductance element is provided which has good high-frequency magnetic properties and which can be manufactured at high yield. The element has at least one ferromagnetic film which, whose high-frequency properties change only a little when thermal, magnetic and mechanical stresses are applied to them during the manufacture of the element. The film has high process immunity. The film has been formed by applying a stress in a plane of a ferromagnetic film having uniaxial magnetic anisotropy or forming an antiferromagnetic film on such a ferromagnetic film, and by heat-treating the resultant structure in a magnetic field, thereby inducing inplane unidirectional magnetic anisotropy in a prescribed direction. The ferromagnetic film thus formed has its high-frequency permeability improved and its high-frequency loss reduced. In forming the ferromagnetic film, the inplane unidirectional magnetic anisotropy may be induced at an angle of about 30.degree. or about 60.degree. to the longer axis of the rectangular planar inductance element. If so, the high-frequency loss of the film decreases, and the effective high-frequency permeability changes almost nil in spite of an anisotropic stress applied to the film during the manufacture of the planar inductance element.
Abstract:
The invention is embodied in a soft magnetic thin film article comprising an iron-chromium-nitrogen (Fe--Cr--N) based alloy and methods for making such article. The soft magnetic thin film article is formed using an iron-chromium-nitrogen based alloy with tantalum in one embodiment and with at least one of the elements titanium (Ti), zirconium (Zr), hafnium (Hf), vanadium (V), molybdenum (Mo), niobium (Nb) or tungsten (W) in another embodiment. The article is formed such that the alloy has a relatively high saturation magnetization (e.g., greater than approximately 15 kG) and a relatively low coercivity (e.g., less than approximately 2.0 oersteds) in an as-deposited condition or, alternatively, with a very low temperature treatment (e.g., below approximately 150.degree. C). The inventive films are suitable for use in electromagnetic devices, for example, in microtransformer cores, inductor cores and in magnetic read-write heads.
