    摘要: An amplifier amplifies a potential difference appearing at sense channels. A resistor of a given resistance value and a magnetoresistive element are connected to the amplifier. First and second inspection currents of difference values are supplied to the resistor. The amplifier thus outputs a first and second voltages. The amplification characteristic or gain of the amplifier can be calculated based on the measured first and second voltages, the values of the inspection currents and the resistance of the resistor. A third inspection current is then supplied to the magnetoresistive element. The output voltage is likewise measured. The value of the third inspection current and the value of the measured output voltage in addition to the amplification characteristic enable a highly accurate determination of the value corresponding to the effective resistance of the magnetoresistive element.

    摘要: A magnetic sensor is constructed to be capable of detecting the change of tunnel current due to co-tunneling effect at a high S/N ratio by using a tunneling magnetoresistive element having a first magnetic layer of a soft magnetic material formed on a flat substrate, first and second tunnel barrier layers formed on the first magnetic layer, magnetic particles of a ferromagnetic material provided between the first and second tunnel barrier layers, and a second magnetic layer of a soft magnetic material formed on the second tunnel barrier layer so as to create tunneling junctions.

    摘要: Good magnetic, wear, and corrosion properties are required of a pinned synthetic anti-ferromagnet used in a top spin valve magnetoresistive sensor for reading magnetic media. The pinned synthetic anti-ferromagnet includes a synthetic anti-ferromagnet. An oxidation protection layer is deposited on the synthetic anti-ferromagnet. A nickel oxide layer for pinning the synthetic anti-ferromagnet is deposited on the oxidation layer.
