    Abstract: A stabilized GMR device includes a GMR stack having a first and a second edge. Stabilization means are positioned adjacent to the first and the second edge of the GMR stack for stabilizing the GMR stack. The GMR stack includes a first layer of ferromagnetic material and a second layer of ferromagnetic material. A spacer layer is positioned between the first and the second ferromagnetic layers. A buffer layer is positioned adjacent to the first magnetic layer and a cap layer is positioned adjacent to the second ferromagnetic layer. The stabilization means include a first coupler layer positioned adjacent to the first edge of the GMR stack and a second coupler layer positioned adjacent to the second edge of the GMR stack. The stabilization means also include a first ferromagnetic layer positioned adjacent to the first coupler layer and a second ferromagnetic layer positioned adjacent to the second coupler layer.

    Abstract: A digital data memory having a bit structure in a memory cell based on an intermediate separating material with two major surfaces having thereon a magnetoresistive, anisotropic ferromagnetic thin-film of differing thicknesses. These bit structures are fabricated within structural extent limits to operate satisfactorily, and are fabricated as series connected members of storage line structures. A corresponding conductive word line structure adjacent corresponding ones of these memory cells is used for selecting or operating them, or both, in data storage and retrieval operations. Bit structures can be fabricated with further alternating intermediate separating, material layers and varied thickness ferromagnetic thin-film layers, and a configuration thereof can be provided for use as an isolated memory cell.

    Abstract: A method of fabricating a spin valve sensor includes sequentially depositing, without breaking vacuum, a seed layer and an antiferromagnetic layer. Sequentially depositing the seed layer and the antiferromagnetic layer includes depositing a seed layer on a substrate; depositing a Mn-alloy layer of the antiferromagnetic layer directly on top of the seed layer; and depositing a buffer layer of the antiferromagnetic layer directly on top of the Mn-alloy layer. The seed layer, the Mn-alloy layer and the buffer layer are annealed. After annealing, a portion of the buffer layer is etched and a synthetic antiferromagnetic layer is deposited on top of the buffer layer. A spacer layer is deposited on top of the synthetic antiferromagnetic layer, and a free layer is deposited on top of the spacer layer.
