摘要
A current-perpendicular-to-the-plane (CPP) magnetoresistive (MR) sensor has an improved free layer structure that includes a first ferromagnetic interface layer on the sensor's nonmagnetic spacer layer, a first electrically conductive interlayer on the first interface layer, a central ferromagnetic NiFe alloy free layer on the first interlayer, a second electrically conductive interlayer on the central free layer, and a second ferromagnetic interface layer on the second interlayer. The first ferromagnetic interface layer, central ferromagnetic free layer, and second ferromagnetic interface layer are ferromagnetically coupled together across the electrically conductive interlayers so their magnetization directions remain parallel. The free layer structure may be used in single or dual CPP sensors and in spin-valve or tunneling MR sensors.
