Abstract

The in-stack stabilization of unshielded and shielded magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) sensors have been studied experimentally by quasi-static and recording tests as well as theoretically by micromagnetic modeling. Results showed the viability of in-stack stabilization over a range of design and material conditions. Performance tradeoff studies and design optimization results led to the fabrication of MTJ read heads with good magnetic stability and high readback sensitivity.
