发明名称 Sensor structure with pinned stabilization layer
摘要 A reader sensor that has a sensor stack with an AFM layer, a pinned stabilization layer, and a pinned layer, with the pinned stabilization layer closer to the AFM layer than to the pinned layer. The stack also includes a non-magnetic spacer layer between and in contact with the pinned stabilization layer and with the pinned layer. A magnetic coupling between the pinned stabilization layer and the pinned layer is no more than 50% of a magnetic coupling between the pinned stabilization layer and the AFM layer.

主权项 1. A reader sensor stack comprising: an AFM layer; a pinned stabilization layer having a thickness no greater than 1.5 nm and magnetically coupled to the AFM layer; a pinned layer, with the pinned stabilization layer closer to the AFM layer than the pinned layer; a non-magnetic spacer layer between and in contact with the pinned stabilization layer and with the pinned layer; and a reference layer antiferromagnetically coupled to the pinned layer, wherein a magnetic coupling between the pinned stabilization layer and the pinned layer is no more than 50% of the magnetic coupling between the pinned stabilization layer and the AFM layer.
