Abstract

See full text

A method of making a magnetoresistance sensor which detects stored information from a medium and which provides an output voltage to a auxiliary circuitry is disclosed. The method comprises sputtering a bias layer in a sputtering gas mixture of nitrogen and argon. A spacer layer is also formed in a sputtering gas mixture of nitrogen and argon. Finally, an MR magnetic layer is formed. The spacer layer is positioned between the bias layer and the magnetic layer. The output voltage is provided to auxiliary circuitry when a current flows through the MR magnetic layer.
