摘要: A magnetic sensor includes an insulating layer, a coil element disposed on the insulating layer, and a first insulating film. The insulating layer includes a first inclined surface and a second inclined surface. The coil element includes a first side surface and a second side surface. The first side surface includes a first portion and a second portion, the second portion being disposed at a position farther from a top surface of a substrate than a position where the first portion is disposed. The first portion is inclined so as to intersect with the first and second inclined surfaces, and is also inclined so as to be closer to the second side surface at positions closer to the top surface of the substrate. The first insulating film covers the first portion.

摘要: A magnetoresistive memory cell includes a magnetoresistive layer stack containing a reference layer, a nonmagnetic spacer layer, and a free layer. A ferroelectric material layer having two stable ferroelectric states is coupled to a strain-modulated ferromagnetic layer to alter a sign of magnetic exchange coupling between the strain-modulated ferromagnetic layer and the free layer. The strain-modulated ferromagnetic layer may be the reference layer or a perpendicular magnetic anisotropy layer that is located proximate to the ferroelectric material layer. The magnetoresistive memory cell may be configured as a three-terminal device or as a two-terminal device, and may be configured as a tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) device or as a giant magnetoresistance (GMR) device.

摘要: The present disclosure generally relates to temperature detection devices including a ferromagnetic (FM) material disposed at a media facing surface (MFS). The FM material is configured to produce a first electric voltage signal in response to a temperature gradient due to an anomalous Nernst effect. The temperature detection device may also include a spin-orbit torque (SOT) material abutting the FM material. The SOT material includes at least one of BiSb, a topological insulator, a topological half-Heusler alloy, or a weakly oxidized heavy metal. The SOT material is recessed from the MFS, wherein the SOT material is configured to receive a spin current parallel to the temperature gradient generated by a spin Seebeck effect in the FM material. The spin current is detectable as a second electric voltage signal via an inverse spin Hall effect. The first electric voltage signal is added to the second electric voltage signal.

摘要: Aspects of the present disclosure provide a power activation module for powering one or more wearable electronic components. The power activation module includes a switch configured to provide a path for current flow between a battery associated with the power activation module, the one or more wearable electronic components, and a ground terminal. The power activation module also includes a sensor configured to detect whether a signal is applied to the sensor and, based on the detection, output a first digital output signal for controlling, at least in part, the switch to control the current flow from the battery to the one or more wearable electronic components. The power activation module also includes a lock pin configured to receive a lock signal, wherein when the lock signal is received, the switch is locked to allow current flow from the battery to the one or more wearable electronic components.

摘要: A gain-controllable magnetoresistive analog amplifier includes a substrate in an X-Y plane, an output signal magnetoresistive sensor on the substrate, and an input signal coil and a gain adjustment coil. The input signal coil and the gain adjustment coil are respectively on two side surfaces of the sensor. The gain adjustment coil is used to input a gain signal by the generation of a gain magnetic field, in order to set the gain the magnetic field is applied along a magnetization direction of a free layer of the output signal magnetoresistive sensor. The input signal coil is used for inputting a current signal to generate an input magnetic field, in order to apply the input magnetic field to a magnetization direction of a pinned layer of the output signal magnetoresistive sensor. This amplifier provides isolation between input signals, output signals, and controllable gain signals.

摘要: A magnetic sensor device includes a magnetic field converter that receives an input magnetic field input along a first direction and outputs an output magnetic field along a second direction, which is orthogonal to the first direction. A magnetic field detector is provided at a position where the output magnetic field is applied. A magnetic shield shields external magnetic fields along a third direction, which is orthogonal to both the first direction and the second direction. When viewed along the first direction, the magnetic field converter has a shape such that the length in the third direction is greater than the length in the second direction. When viewed along the first direction, the magnetic shield is provided at a position overlapping the magnetic field converter and the magnetic field detector, and the magnetic field transmittance of the external magnetic field is 1˜30%.
