摘要： A process is described for making contact to the buried capping layers of GMR and MTJ devices without the need to form and fill via holes. CMP is applied to the structure in three steps: (1) conventional CMP (2) a Highly Selective Slurry (HSS) is substituted for the conventional slurry to just expose the capping layer, and (3) the HSS is diluted and used to clean the surface as well as to cause a slight protrusion of the capping layers above the surrounding dielectric surface, making it easier the contact them without damaging the devices below.

摘要： An MTJ pattern layout for a memory device is disclosed that includes two CMP assist features outside active MTJ device blocks. A first plurality of dummy MTJ devices is located in two dummy bands formed around an active MTJ device block. The inner dummy band is separated from the outer dummy band by the MTJ ILD layer and has a MTJ device density essentially the same as the MTJ device block. The outer dummy band has a MTJ device density at least 10% greater than the inner dummy band. The inner dummy band serves to minimize CMP edge effect in the MTJ device block while the outer dummy band improves planarization. A second plurality of dummy MTJ devices is employed in contact pads outside the outer dummy band and is formed between a WL ILD layer and a BIT ILD layer thereby minimizing delamination of the MTJ ILD layer.

摘要： A method of forming a Cu—Cu junction between a word line pad (WLP) and bit line (BL) contact is described. An opening above a WL contact is formed in a first SiNx layer on a substrate that includes a WLP and word line. After a bottom electrode (BE) layer, MTJ stack, and hard mask are sequentially deposited, an etch forms an MTJ element above the word line. Another etch forms a BE and exposes the first SiNx layer above the WLP and bond pad (BP). An MTJ ILD layer is deposited and planarized followed by deposition of a second SiNx layer and BL ILD layer. Trenches are formed in the BL ILD layer and second SiNx layer above the WLP, hard mask and BP. After vias are formed in the MTJ ILD and first SiNx layers above the WLP and BP, Cu deposition follows to form dual damascene BL contacts.

摘要： A sensor array comprising a series connection of parallel GMR sensor stripes provides a sensitive mechanism for detecting the presence of magnetized particles bonded to biological molecules that are affixed to a substrate. The adverse effect of hysteresis on the maintenance of a stable bias point for the magnetic moment of the sensor free layer is eliminated by a combination of biasing the sensor along its longitudinal direction rather than the usual transverse direction and by using the overcoat stress and magnetostriction of magnetic layers to create a compensatory transverse magnetic anisotropy. By making the spaces between the stripes narrower than the dimension of the magnetized particle and by making the width of the stripes equal to the dimension of the particle, the sensitivity of the sensor array is enhanced.

摘要： A CPP-GMR spin valve having a CoFe/NiFe composite free layer is disclosed in which Fe content of the CoFe layer ranges from 20 to 70 atomic % and Ni content in the NiFe layer varies from 85 to 100 atomic % to maintain low Hc and λS values. A small positive magnetostriction value in a Co75Fe25 layer is used to offset a negative magnetostriction value in a Ni90Fe10 layer. The CoFe layer is deposited on a sensor stack in which a seed layer, AFM layer, pinned layer, and non-magnetic spacer layer are sequentially formed on a substrate. After a NiFe layer and capping layer are sequentially deposited on the CoFe layer, the sensor stack is patterned to give a sensor element with top and bottom surfaces and a sidewall connecting the top and bottom surfaces. Thereafter, a dielectric layer is formed adjacent to the sidewalls.

摘要： A hard bias structure for biasing a free layer in a MR element within a read head is comprised of a composite hard bias layer having a Co78.6Cr5.2Pt16.2/Co65Cr15Pt20 configuration. The upper Co65Cr15Pt20 layer has a larger Hc value and a thickness about 2 to 10 times greater than that of the Co78.6Cr5.2Pt16.2 layer. The hard bias structure may also include a BCC underlayer such as FeCoMo which enhances the magnetic moment of the hard bias structure. Optionally, the thickness of the Co78.6Cr5.2Pt16.2 layer is zero and the Co65Cr15Pt20 layer is formed on the BCC underlayer. The present invention also encompasses a laminated hard bias structure. The Mrt value for the hard bias structure may be optimized by adjusting the thicknesses of the BCC underlayer and CoCrPt layers. As a result, a larger process window is realized and lower asymmetry output during a read operation is achieved.

摘要： Although it is known that exchange bias can be utilized in abutted junctions for longitudinal stabilization, a relatively large moment is needed to pin down the sensor edges effectively. Due to the inverse dependence of the exchange bias on the magnetic layer thickness, a large exchange bias has been difficult to achieve by the prior art. This problem has been solved by introducing a structure in which the magnetic moment of the bias layer has been approximately doubled by pinning it from both above and below through exchange with antiferromagnetic layers. Additionally, since the antiferromagnetic layer is in direct abutted contact with the free layer, it acts directly to help stabilize the sensor edge, which is an advantage over the traditional magnetostatic pinning that had been used.
摘要翻译：虽然已知交换偏压可用于邻接接头用于纵向稳定化，但是需要相对较大的力矩来有效地将传感器边缘压下。由于交换偏压对磁性层厚度的反向依赖性，现有技术难以实现大的交换偏压。通过引入通过与反铁磁层交换而将偏压层的磁矩从上下两端钉住而将偏置层的磁矩大致加倍的结构已经解决了这个问题。另外，由于反铁磁层直接与自由层接触，所以它直接作用以帮助稳定传感器边缘，这是相对于已经使用的传统静磁钉扎的优点。
