ABSTRACT:
In current synthetically pinned CPP SV designs, AP2 always makes a negative contribution to the device's GMR since its magnetization direction must be anti-parallel to the pinned layer (AP1). This effect has been reduced by replacing the conventional single layer AP2, that forms part of the synthetic pinned layer, with a multilayer structure into which has been inserted at least one layer of a material such as tantalum that serves to depolarize the spin of electrons that traverse its interfaces. The result is a reduction of said negative contribution by AP2, leading to a significant increase in the GMR ratio.
