Description
Technical field:
The present invention relates to a kind of Spin Valve giant magnetoresistance and contain the cash inspecting machine magnetic head sensor of this giant magnetoresistance.
Background technology:
At present, common cash inspecting machine magnetic head has two classes.The inductive type Magnetic Sensor of the similar head that one class is made up of coil and iron core.Its principle of work is: when the magnetisable material on the bank note passes through the gathering throat of magnetic head, cause the variation in magnetic field in the magnetic head iron core, thereby in the coil of magnetic head, produce induced electromotive force, induced electromotive force is judged to have or not magnetic signal to carry out false distinguishing to bank note through amplifying the back as magnetic signal output.The Decree of Patent Office of China, the patent No. is 92212125.7 " currency Discr. "; The patent No. is 93216994.5 " pen type counterfeit money recognizer "; The patent No. is 93229879.6 " miniature difunctional counterfeit money recognizer ", has all put down in writing the technical scheme of this class magnetic head detection bank note magnetisable material, and is not high but their disadvantage is sensitivity.The patent No. is 00211346.5 " paper money Magnetic Sensor ", the cash inspecting machine head technology scheme that provides a kind of magnetizing apparatus to add the remanent magnetism detecting device.Bank note is earlier through magnetizing apparatus, again by the remanent magnetism detecting device.Because magnetizing apparatus has improved the magnetization of magnetisable material on the bank note, thereby improved the confidence level of false distinguishing.But the shortcoming of this design proposal is: increased magnetizing apparatus on the one hand, made the volume of cash inspecting machine magnetic head increase, improved technical complexity; This scheme can not really improve the sensitivity of measuring magnetic signal on the other hand.
Another kind of is the Magnetic Sensor of being made by compound semiconductor materials.It has two kinds of forms, and the first is utilized the Magnetic Sensor of Hall effect.This Hall element is to utilize general semiconductor forming technique to form semiconductive thin film on silicon chip, and semiconductor material can be a kind of of InAs, GaAs, InGaAs, InSb, InGaSb, and that commonly used is InSb.This class principle of sensors is: when electric current flows through conductor, if have external magnetic field to exist,, can produce an electric potential difference perpendicular to magnetic field and sense of current according to Hall effect, this electric potential difference is judged to have or not magnetic signal to carry out false distinguishing to bank note through amplifying the back as magnetic signal output.The major defect of this class sensor is: (1) is because the electron mobility of semiconductor material is little, so Magnetic Sensor is low to the sensitivity in magnetic field; (2) be subject to the influence of external stress, the sensitivity in magnetic field is changed; (3) influenced by ambient temperature big, the Magnetic Sensor of semiconductor PN type for example, when being higher than 125 degrees centigrade, it is unstable that work becomes, even can not work fully.It two is magnetoelectricity resistance type Magnetic Sensors.This magnetoresistive element is that InSb is cut into slices, be bonded on glass then, make it thickness with machinery and chemical method again and become 5 to 10 microns, insert metal electrode and metal boundary with the way of photoetching at last, become a complete magnetoresistive element by predetermined frame line shaping.Its shortcoming is a complex manufacturing technology, and yield rate is low, and InSb material temperature effect is obvious, and the remolding sensitivity Hall element in magnetic field is increased, and reaches 0.2%/Oe, but still is in lower level.Therefore the Magnetic Sensor of this compounds semiconductor material is when practical application, usually to add circuit and other devices of a complexity, eliminating the influence of external stress and temperature to Magnetic Sensor sensitivity, referring to the Decree of Patent Office of China, the patent No. is 98802893.X " Magnetic Sensor ";
Therefore, concerning the cash inspecting machine magnetic head, be desirable to provide a kind of like this Magnetic Sensor: it has high magnetic field sensitivity, and sensitivity seldom is subjected to external stress and Temperature Influence.Just because of the discovery of giant magnetoresistance effect, and feasible the addressing this problem of development of giant magnetic resistor material becomes possibility in recent years.
Usually magneto-resistor is the variation of the resistivity of material that caused by magnetic field, and quantificational expression is:
Wherein R is R (O) or R (H), adopts R (O) definition in the patent specification.The MR value in the sensitivity S unit of being defined as magnetic field.Promptly
Wherein, HS is a saturation field, and Δ H is the work magnetic field range.To anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR), though its MR is bigger, because saturation field is generally higher, sensitivity is not high.
1988, Paris, FRA College Physics scholar Albert Fert etc. are in replacing the made magnetic metal multilayer film of overlapping Armco magnetic iron film and non magnetic chromium film (Fe/Cr), when the thickness of chromium layer is 9 dusts and be in antiferromagnetic coupling between the adjacent iron layer this moment, the resistance that is surprised to find that this structured material can reduce by more than 50 in magnetic field unexpectedly.Big rate of change like this is tens times of the former amr effect of finding in the NiFe alloy.So, be called for short GMR with its called after giant magnetoresistance (Giant Magneto Resistance) effect.So-called antiferromagnetism is coupled in other words, and the magnetic moment of adjacent ferromagnetic (M) interacts by the Cr layer and is in the antiparallel distribution.The magnetic moment that externally-applied magnetic field at first influences adjacent magnetic distributes, and the angle between the adjacent magnetic moment is changed with externally-applied magnetic field.The change of angle just causes the variation of resistance (R) with externally-applied magnetic field (H) between the adjacent just magnetic moment.The physical mechanism of GMR effect is to originate from electron spin dependent scattering at the interface.
After the giant magnetoresistance phenomenon is found, invention Spin Valve (SV) type multi-layer film structure again in 1992, simple spin valve structure is made up of pinning layer, nailed layer, nonmagnetic spacer-layer, free layer etc.Wherein pinning layer is that inverse ferric magnetosphere (AFM), nailed layer and free layer all are that ferromagnetic layer (FM), nonmagnetic spacer-layer (NM) generally are made of non-magnetic materials such as copper, gold, silver.If pinning layer is called top spin valve above nonmagnetic spacer-layer; If pinning layer is called end Spin Valve below nonmagnetic spacer-layer.Nailed layer also can be a FM/NM/FM sandwich structure, since antiparallel in this moment nailed layer near direction of magnetization and external magnetic field (pinning field) direction in the ferromagnetic layer of nonmagnetic spacer-layer, so be called the antiparallel spin valve.The MR of typical Spin Valve material is about 4~6%, and resistance variations is basically near null field.Because its magnetic field sensitivity height (than highly sensitive 1~2 order of magnitude of semiconductor magnetic resistance type Magnetic Sensor), Heat stability is good, preparation is simple and be widely used in the magnetic recording systems such as playback head, random access memory of computer hard disc driver, makes storage density bring up to tens Gb/ square inches.But the Spin Valve giant magnetic resistor material is applied to cash inspecting machine magnetic head sensor, and the check forge or true or paper money does not at home and abroad appear in the newspapers at present as yet.
General spin valve structure, free layer is made up of materials such as CoFe, NiFe, and coercive force is higher.The Spin Valve of this class material is mainly used in the playback head of computer hard disc driver, because reading head is very not high to coercitive requirement with pulse mode work, if but being used for the coercitive influence of cash inspecting machine sensor just must consider.
Summary of the invention:
Purpose of the present invention is exactly in order to overcome the above problems, a kind of Spin Valve giant magnetoresistance is provided and contains the cash inspecting machine magnetic head sensor of this giant magnetoresistance, reduce the coercive force of Spin Valve giant magnetoresistance, and increase cash inspecting machine magnetic head transducer sensitivity height, yield rate, it is low to reduce cost.
For achieving the above object, the present invention proposes a kind of Spin Valve giant magnetoresistance, comprises pinning layer, nailed layer, nonmagnetic spacer-layer and free layer, and described free layer contains the NiFeMoMn material.And a kind of cash inspecting machine magnetic head sensor, it comprises electrode and Magnetic Sensor, it is characterized in that: described Magnetic Sensor is the Spin Valve giant magnetoresistance, and this Spin Valve giant magnetoresistance comprises pinning layer, nailed layer, nonmagnetic spacer-layer and free layer, and described free layer contains the ferronickel molybdenum manganese alloy.
Owing to adopted above scheme, we have selected ferronickel molybdenum manganese alloy (NiFeMoMn for use, domestic a plurality of production of units) material has replaced the NiFe in the free layer, has obtained the Spin Valve giant magnetic resistor material of low-coercivity, has promptly satisfied the special requirement of magnetic field sensor.This Spin Valve giant magnetoresistance can be used for making cash inspecting machine magnetic head sensor and other magnetic field sensors.Because the Spin Valve giant magnetoresistance is highly sensitive, can reduce because the low problem of compound semiconductor materials Magnetic Sensor yield rate can also be cut down the constituent part in the adjunct circuit, therefore can further improve the performance of cash inspecting machine magnetic head, enhance productivity, reduce production costs.
