Current-perpendicular-to-the-plane (CPP) magnetoresistive (MR) sensor with improved seed layer structure for hard bias layer
Abstract:
A current-perpendicular-to-the-plane (CPP) magnetoresistive (MR) sensor has an improved seed layer structure for the ferromagnetic hard (high coercivity) bias layer that is used to longitudinally bias the sensor's free ferromagnetic layer. The seed layer structure is a trilayer consisting of a first seed layer of tantalum (Ta), a second seed layer of one or both titanium (Ti) and Ti-oxide on and in contact with the Ta layer, and a third seed layer of tungsten (W) on and in contact with the second seed layer.
