To the opposite field, different reluctance resistances have different H AF , generally speaking, tens of Oe. Oe is the magnetic field strength unit - Oersted magnetic field measurement, because: 1) tunneling reluctance The sensing curve of the resistance is linearly saturated in the middle and large range, which is severely nonlinear. It is necessary to establish a nonlinear model for calculation. 2) The reference layer of the tunneling magnetoresistive resistor will rotate significantly, and the influence of the reference layer must be considered. 3) The direction of the tunneling magnetoresistive magnetic domain may be irreversibly reversed, and the resistance value may jump to form different sensing curves of the two bifurcations.

本说明书中公开的任一特征,除非特别叙述,均可被其他等效或具有类似目的的替代特征加以替换。即,除非特别叙述,每个特征只是一系列等效或类似特征中的一个例子而已。Any feature disclosed in this specification, unless specifically stated otherwise, may be replaced by other equivalents or alternative features having similar purposes. That is, unless specifically stated, each feature is only one example of a series of equivalent or similar features.
如图1,本发明方法的步骤包括:As shown in Figure 1, the steps of the method of the present invention include:
(1)对于任一外加磁场,测量得到两个不同易轴方向的隧穿磁阻电阻R1,R2,同时将无磁场时的初始参考层磁化方向作为给定方向需要说明的是隧穿磁阻的核心典型结构包括反铁磁层(钉扎层)/铁磁层(被钉扎层)/非磁性金属/铁磁层(参考层)/势垒层/铁磁层(自由层),电流垂直膜面。其
中,参考层和被钉扎层通过一层非常薄的非磁性金属诱导形成人工合成反铁磁结构,使得参考层和被钉扎层的磁化方向更加稳定,不易受到外界强磁场破坏。而自由层的磁化方向随外界磁场变化而变化。(1) For any applied magnetic field, two different tunneling reluctance resistors R 1 , R 2 are obtained , and the initial reference layer magnetization direction when no magnetic field is used as a given direction It should be noted that the typical core structure of tunneling magnetoresistance includes antiferromagnetic layer (pinning layer) / ferromagnetic layer (pinned layer) / non-magnetic metal / ferromagnetic layer (reference layer) / barrier layer / iron The magnetic layer (free layer), the current is perpendicular to the membrane surface. Among them, the reference layer and the pinned layer are induced to form a synthetic antiferromagnetic structure through a very thin non-magnetic metal, so that the magnetization directions of the reference layer and the pinned layer are more stable and are not easily damaged by external strong magnetic fields. The magnetization direction of the free layer changes as the external magnetic field changes.
若隧穿磁阻电阻沿某一轴或方向最容易被磁化则称为易轴,反之则谓难轴。If the tunneling reluctance resistance is most easily magnetized along an axis or direction, it is called an easy axis, and vice versa.
隧穿磁阻电阻的阻值能够随外加磁场的变化而变化,因此测量其阻值便可测量外加磁场。将两个具有不同易轴方向的隧穿磁阻电阻放置于外加磁场中,通过全桥或其他电阻测量电路可得到两个电阻的阻值。The resistance of the tunneling magnetoresistive resistor can vary with the applied magnetic field, so the applied magnetic field can be measured by measuring its resistance. Two tunneling reluctance resistors with different easy axis directions are placed in an external magnetic field, and the resistance values of the two resistors can be obtained by a full bridge or other resistance measuring circuit.
(2)根据两个电阻的阻值,可以计算得到各个电阻自由层磁化方向和参考层磁化方向的夹角对应如图1过程①,计算公式为:(2) According to the resistance values of the two resistors, the angle between the magnetization direction of the free layer of each resistor and the magnetization direction of the reference layer can be calculated. Corresponding to Process 1 in Figure 1, the calculation formula is:
其中为第一个隧穿磁阻电阻的自由层磁化方向,R1min为第一个隧穿磁阻电阻的最小值,R1max为第一个隧穿磁阻电阻的最大值。 among them For the free layer magnetization direction of the first tunneling magnetoresistive resistor, R 1min is the minimum value of the first tunneling magnetoresistive resistor, and R 1max is the maximum value of the first tunneling magnetoresistive resistor.
其中为第二个隧穿磁阻电阻的自由层磁化方向,R2min为第二个隧穿磁阻电阻的最小值,R2max为第二个隧穿磁阻电阻的最大值。 among them The free layer magnetization direction of the second tunneling magnetoresistive resistor, R 2min is the minimum value of the second tunneling magnetoresistive resistor, and R 2max is the maximum value of the second tunneling magnetoresistive resistor.
R1min、R1max、R2min及R2max均可通过分别标定两个隧穿磁阻电阻得到。R 1min , R 1max , R 2min and R 2max can be obtained by respectively calibrating two tunneling reluctance resistors.
(3)对于给定的参考层磁化方向,计算自由层磁化方向如图1过程②,计算公式为将
带入前式便得到第一隧穿磁阻电阻的自由层磁化方向将
带入前式便得到第二隧穿磁阻电阻的自由层磁化方向
(3) Calculate the magnetization direction of the free layer for a given reference layer magnetization direction As shown in Figure 2, process 2, the calculation formula is will The front layer is brought into the front to obtain the free layer magnetization direction of the first tunneling magnetoresistive resistor will Bringing in the front form, the free layer magnetization direction of the second tunneling reluctance resistor is obtained.
式中,S1,S2分别表示自由层磁畴处于图2中的易轴正方向范围(-π/2~π/2)或者易轴负方向范围(π/2~3π/2)。对于特定的磁阻电阻其自由层磁畴的状态
是唯一的。In the formula, S 1 and S 2 respectively indicate that the free layer magnetic domain is in the range of the easy axis positive direction (-π/2 to π/2) or the easy axis negative direction range (π/2 to 3π/2) in Fig. 2 . The state of the free layer domain is unique for a particular magnetoresistive resistor.
对于隧穿磁阻电阻来说,当隧穿磁阻电阻自由层的内部易轴偏置磁场大于各向异性场时,按照本发明中四个磁阻电阻的布设方式,就能确保其中总至少有两个相互正交的磁阻电阻的自由层磁畴处于S1状态,选择状态已知的两个电阻计算中大磁场,则可以确定两者的自由层磁化方向而在制作内部易轴偏置磁场大于各向异性场的隧穿磁阻电阻工艺是现有的。For the tunneling magnetoresistive resistor, when the internal easy axis offset magnetic field of the tunneling magnetoresistive resistor free layer is larger than the anisotropy field, according to the arrangement of the four magnetoresistive resistors in the present invention, it is ensured that at least The free layer magnetic domain with two mutually orthogonal reluctance resistors is in the S1 state, and the two resistances with known states are selected to calculate the large magnetic field, and the free layer magnetization directions of the two can be determined. However, a tunneling magnetoresistive resistor process in which an internal easy axis bias magnetic field is larger than an anisotropy field is known.
(4)根据计算得到的自由层磁化方向计算被测磁场幅值和方向hF,θ,如图1过程③,计算公式为式:(4) According to the calculated free layer magnetization direction Calculate the amplitude and direction of the measured magnetic field, h F , θ, as shown in the process 3 of Figure 1, the formula is:
式中,式中α1,α2分别为两个隧穿磁阻电阻的易轴方向,hJFR为任意一个磁阻电阻的自由层与参考层的耦合场,hBF=HBF/HAF,HBF为磁阻电阻自由层的内部偏置磁场大小,HAF为自由层各向异性场大小;θBF为自由层的内部偏置磁场方向。本实施例中的四个磁阻电阻相同,因此认为它们的固有参数也是相同的。在计算时,选取任意一个磁阻电阻的固有参数即可。Where α 1 and α 2 are the easy axis directions of two tunneling magnetoresistance resistors respectively, and h JFR is the coupling field of the free layer and the reference layer of any one of the magnetoresistive resistors, h BF =H BF /H AF H BF is the internal bias magnetic field of the free layer of the magnetoresistive resistor, H AF is the free layer anisotropy field size; θ BF is the internal bias magnetic field direction of the free layer. The four magnetoresistive resistors in this embodiment are the same, and therefore their inherent parameters are considered to be the same. In the calculation, the inherent parameters of any one of the magnetoresistance resistors can be selected.
(5)针对计算得到的磁场参数与前一次结果比较,是否达到精度要求(本实施例中,当两次计算结果中磁场强度的差值1E-4,方向的差值小于0.01°时认为达到精度要求),达到要求则输出结果;否则根据磁场计算更新参考层磁化方向角度如图示过程④,并返回步骤(2)继续迭代。(5) Whether the calculated magnetic field parameter is compared with the previous result, whether the accuracy requirement is met (in the present embodiment, when the difference between the magnetic field strengths in the two calculation results is 1E-4, the difference in the direction is less than 0.01°, it is considered to be reached. Accuracy requirements), output results when required; otherwise update the reference layer magnetization direction angle according to the magnetic field calculation As shown in process 4, and return to step (2) to continue the iteration.
其中更新参考层磁化方向角度的步骤为:The steps for updating the orientation direction magnetization direction angle are:
求解一元四次方程其中hX1,hY1分别为外加磁场在第一磁阻电阻易轴和难轴方向上的磁场,二者根据步骤4的
计算结果得到,hX1=hFcosθ,hY1=hFsinθ;
Solving the quadratic equation Where h X1 and h Y1 are the magnetic fields of the applied magnetic field in the easy axis and the hard axis direction of the first magnetoresistive resistor, respectively, which are obtained according to the calculation result of step 4, h X1 =h F cosθ, h Y1 =h F sin θ;
上述一元四次方程具有4个解,当隧穿磁阻处于稳定平衡状态时,只有一个解。该解取决于3个条件:The above-mentioned quadruple equation has four solutions, when the tunneling reluctance is in a stable equilibrium state, There is only one solution. The solution depends on three conditions:
1)x1为实数且|x1|≤1;1) x 1 is a real number and |x 1 | ≤ 1;
3)该解与隧穿磁阻的初始位置间所有角度能量必须小于初始位置的能量。3) All angular energy between the solution and the initial position of the tunneling reluctance must be less than the energy of the initial position.
求解一元四次方程其中hX2,hY2分别为外加磁场在第二磁阻电阻易轴和难轴方向上的磁场,二者根据步骤4的计算结果得到,由于第一磁阻电阻与第二磁阻电阻正交,因此hX2=hFsinθ,hY2=hF cosθ;
Solving the quadratic equation Where h X2 and h Y2 are the magnetic fields of the applied magnetic field in the easy axis and the hard axis direction of the second magnetoresistive resistor, respectively, which are obtained according to the calculation result of step 4, because the first magnetoresistance resistance is orthogonal to the second magnetoresistance resistance , thus h X2 =h F sin θ,h Y2 =h F cosθ;
在其他实施例中,可以借助计算机数值方法进行求解以下公式得到磁阻电阻的参考层磁化方向角度,即将技术人员认为可能的角度带入下列公式计算,判断其结果是否接近0,如是则认为带入的角度为的解:hX,hY分别为外加磁场在磁阻电阻易轴和难轴方向上的磁场。上式为隧穿磁阻单畴模型计算在参考层的磁化方向角度的一般表达式,令上式可演化为:In other embodiments, the following formula can be solved by computer numerical method to obtain the reference layer magnetization direction angle of the magnetoresistive resistor, that is, the angle that the technician thinks may be brought into the following formula to judge whether the result is close to 0, and if so, the band is considered The angle of entry is Solution: h X , h Y are the magnetic fields of the applied magnetic field in the direction of the easy-to-axis and the hard axis of the magnetoresistive resistor, respectively. The above formula is a general expression for calculating the angle of magnetization in the reference layer for the tunneling magnetoresistive single domain model. The above formula can be evolved as:
亦即前一实施例计算参考层磁化方向的公式。但是使用计算机数值方法求解会存在精度、时间和全局收敛性问题,因此推荐使用前一实施例计算磁阻电阻参考层磁化方向。 That is, the former embodiment calculates the formula of the magnetization direction of the reference layer. However, there are problems with accuracy, time, and global convergence using computer numerical methods. Therefore, it is recommended to use the previous embodiment to calculate the magnetization direction of the reluctance resistance reference layer.
通过上述迭代,参考层磁化方向将逐渐收敛到真实方向,同时计算得到的外加磁场也收敛到真实的外加磁场。迭代算法的收敛性取决于在计算参考层磁化方向时是否收敛。
Through the above iteration, the reference layer magnetization direction will gradually converge to the real direction, and the calculated applied magnetic field also converges to the real applied magnetic field. The convergence of the iterative algorithm depends on whether it converges when calculating the magnetization direction of the reference layer.
若重复迭代设定次数后,计算结果与前次计算结果的差值仍然不小设定值,则认为计算过程不能收敛,当前的外加磁场为极大磁场。设定次数根据不同的磁阻电阻及计算精度要求设定,本实施例设定的次数是20次。If the difference between the calculated result and the previous calculation result is still not smaller than the set value after repeated iterations, the calculation process cannot be converged, and the current applied magnetic field is the maximum magnetic field. The number of times set is set according to different reluctance resistances and calculation accuracy requirements, and the number of times set in this embodiment is 20 times.
