Latest Patents
Hayashi's latest patents include a "Perpendicularly magnetized ultrathin film exhibiting high perpendicular magnetic anisotropy, method for manufacturing same, and application." This invention provides an element structure where a magnetic layer possesses a high magnetic anisotropy constant and saturated magnetization properties in a thickness of 1.5 nm or less. The invention details a BCC metal nitride/CoFeB/MgO film structure that utilizes a nitride of a BCC metal as a seed layer. The nitride amount in the BCC metal nitride is preferably less than 60% in terms of volume ratio based on 100% BCC metal. This innovation allows for the creation of a perpendicularly magnetized film with exceptional magnetic properties, achieving a perpendicular magnetic anisotropy of 0.1×10 erg/cm or more and a saturated magnetization of 200 emu/cm or more, even when the thickness of the magnetic layer is between 0.3 nm and 1.5 nm.
Another notable patent focuses on the development of a CoFe-based Heusler alloy aimed at realizing high-performance spintronics devices. This invention provides a CoFe(GaGe) Heusler alloy that exhibits a spin polarization larger than 0.65, with a Curie temperature as high as 1288K. The resulting CPP-GMR device utilizing this alloy as an electrode demonstrates the world's highest MR ratio, while an STO device shows high output, and an NLSV device exhibits a significant spin signal.
