Method of making a seed layer for a nickel oxide pinning layer for increasing the magnetoresistance of a spin valve sensor |
摘要 |
A bottom spin valve sensor employs a seed layer for a nickel oxide (NiO) antiferromagnetic pinning layer for the purpose of increasing magnetoresistance of the sensor (dR/R). The spin valve sensor can be a simple spin valve or an antiparallel (AP) spin valve sensor. In the preferred embodiment the seed layer is tantalum oxide Ta<HIL><PDAT>y</SB><PDAT>O<HIL><PDAT>x </SB><PDAT>or copper (Cu).</PTEXT> |
