Problems solved by technology

In general, the current spin valves based on Co / Cu / Co generally have poor magnetoresistance loop symmetry, and the steps are not wide and flat enough, especially when there are many pinning materials, complex components, and cumbersome processes. Greatly influenced the practical application of spin valves in this system

Embodiment

[0009] The magnetic spin valve with Co / Cu / Co-CoO structure was prepared, the substrate was silicon wafer Si, the thickness of the bottom Co layer was kept at 2.0nm, the thickness of the middle layer Cu was 0.7nm, and the background vacuum during preparation was 4.6×10 -5 Pa, the Ar gas pressure during sputtering is 0.3 Pa. The Cu layer was obtained by DC sputtering with a sputtering current of 40mA. The Co magnetic layer was sputtered by radio frequency, and the sputtering power was 160W. The deposition rates of Co and Cu during the preparation were 0.08 and 0.1 nm / s, respectively. The thickness of the Co layer in the first half of the upper pinning layer Co-CoO is 1.0nm, which is obtained by ordinary radio frequency sputtering with a power of 160W, and the second half of CoO is 5:2 Ar and O 2 After the gas is mixed, it is prepared by reaction. After the completion, it is obtained by going out of the vacuum chamber and then oxidizing it with high-purity oxygen at 160 degrees...

Abstract

A magnetically spinning Co-Cu valve has Co / Cu / Co-CoO structure and is prepared by combination of magnetically controlled sputter with pinning of magnetic layer. The bottom Co layer is 2 nm in thickness. The middle Cu layer is 0.6-2.0 nm in thickness. The thickness of Co layer for front half of upper pinned Co-CoO layer is 1.0 nm and its second half of Co-CoO layer is prepared through mixing Ar gas with O2 gas in a ratio of 5 : 2, reaction and high-temp oxidizing by high-purity oxygen at 150-180 deg.C for 2 hr. It has low saturated field and wide step and is suitable for preparing some sensors.
