摘要
A magnetoresistive sensor having magnetically anisotropic bias layers for biasing the free layer of the sensor. The sensor includes a sensor stack with a pinned layer structure and a free layer structure and having first and second sides. Hard bias structures for biasing the magnetization of the free layer are formed at either side of the sensor stack, and each of the hard bias structure includes a hard magnetic layer that has a magnetic anisotropy to enhance the stability of the biasing. The hard bias layer is formed on a buffer layer and a seed layer, the seed layer being sandwiched between the buffer layer and the hard bias layer. The buffer layer has an anisotropic surface texture that promotes the magnetic anisotropy in the hard bias layer. The buffer layer can be CrMo or Ru or can be a bi-layer including a layer of CrMo with a layer of Ru over the CrMo. The seed layer can be constructed of a material having a BCC structure and is preferably constructed of CrMo.
