Overview
ISI's proprietary FMRA-2008 Module accurately measures magnetic resonance at RF frequencies up to 20Ghz, ideal for characterizing the RF magnetic performance of Magneto-Resistive sensors in multi-directional magnetic fields. Characterizing the MR sensor using Ferro Magnetic Resonance techniques can not only examine the sensor performance, but, often, pinpoint a particular problem in the design or manufacturing process, such as concerns with the Hard-Bias or the Reference/Pinning Layer.
The FMRA-2008 electronics module is intended for use with QuadPole magnet systems on either the WLA5000 Wafer Analyzer or the BlazerX6B Bar Analyzer, and incorporates RF Probing and multi-directional field vectors to allow the extensive suite of FMRA-2008 measurements. These measurements include:
-
Ferro Magnetic Resonance Spectrum Analysis
-
Diagnostics of hard bias level and uniformity
-
Stiffness field measurement
-
Reference layer/Pinning layer diagnostics
-
Free layer uniformity and domains detection
-
Free layer magnetization orientation
-
High Bandwidth Noise Analysis
​
As MR sensor dimensions shrink in the race to higher Arial Density, control of the reader sensor dimensions becomes more difficult causing many of the above issues. The FMRA-2008 is world's first low-cost, non-destructive, in-situ solution to characterize these issues in a manufacturing environment with production-level throughput.
