Description
概要
三層スタックは、空気ベアリング面(ABS)に位置付けられ得る。三層スタックは、ABSに対して直交する軸に沿ったストライプ高さを有し、第1の磁化自由層と第2の磁化自由層とを有して構成することができる。第1および第2の磁化自由層の各々は、ABSに対して傾斜した一軸異方性を有する。
異方性を調整することによって性能が高められた磁気センサがここに概して示される。産業においてデータ記憶装置のフォームファクタの縮小化が進むにつれ、データの大容量
化およびデータ転送率の高速化に対する需要が高まり、磁気シールドやデータ検知層などの磁気センサの部品が小型化されている。磁性部品の大きさを縮小すると、磁気不安定性が高まる一方、検知されたデータビットの正確性が低下し、データ記憶装置の性能が劣化し得る。産業においては、正確な遮蔽特性と高いデータ転送率を保ちながらもフォームファクタを縮小した磁気センサの構成に対する需要が高まっている。
て、さらに大きさおよび位置を調整することができ、スタック132の性能を最適化することができる。たとえば、バイアス磁石134は、スタック132からバイアス距離142をおいて設けられ、あるバイアス厚さ144を有する。このバイアス厚さ144により、磁気センサ130に含まれる任意の磁気シールドからの分離距離146がもたらされる。この分離距離146は、絶縁材料で満たされる。
プ170を示し、異方性の強度は、約100Oeとなる。比較として、図4Bのループ172は、70°の角度で堆積された場合を示し、自由層の磁気飽和時において移行領域が増大することに伴い、約300Oeの異方性強度を有する。
磁化非対称性および信号振幅が高まり、その一方で、他のストライプ高さにおいては信号振幅を低減させる。
積させる斜め堆積プロセスによって第1の厚さ204および第1のストライプ高さ206を有して形成される分離シード層202を有する磁気センサ200を示す。
もよく、合致しなくてもよい。図7Cは、非磁気スペーサ層212が次に所定の厚さ214、MgOなどの材料、およびストライプ高さを有する第1の磁化自由層208の上に形成することができることを示す。スペーサ層212の非磁気的な特徴は、物理的蒸着、化学蒸着、およびスパッタリングなどの堆積技術に対応する。
てスペーサ層212に形成し、所定の一軸異方性、層厚さ218、および限定されないストライプ高さ距離を得るかを示す。分離キャップ層などの追加の層は、磁気センサ200にさらに含むことができる一方で、図7A〜図7Dは、所定のデータ検知性能を付与するために個別または集合的に調整することができる様々な材料、堆積技術、ストライプ高さ、および厚さを示す。
れる。図4A〜図4Cに関連して記載したように、斜め堆積の角度は、結果として得られる層の一軸異方性に直接的に対応し得る。しかし、斜め堆積は、一軸異方性を構築するための唯一の方法ではないことが理解される。堆積角度が確立されると、判定256において、層のストライプ高さが判断され、これにより、図6Aおよび図6Bに示されるように、対応する一軸異方性の強度および動作特性に対して影響を与えることができる。
