报告简介

    Nanoelectronics combines physical principles of materials with the impressing capability of engineering ultra-small devices at the nanoscale. Magnetic field sensors - in particular, magnetoresistive MR sensors, were driven by the technological push from computers and information storage in the early 1990’s. Presently they have a mature and transversal level of implementation in the market, from automotive to biomedical domains. In this talk, I will first introduce key concepts in spintronics and highlight the physics mechanisms defining the sensor performance and the figures of merit for the classification of an outstanding MR sensor. The impressive technological progress in thin film preparation and characterization, combined with nano-microfabrication tools offer presently large spectra for device design. The materials discussed include several varieties of thin films: oxide films as tunneling barriers, ultrathin amorphous and crystalline films, ultrathin textured layers with grain size control, magnetically soft layers or antiferromagnetic films – all combined onto multilayer stacks, typically thinner than 60nm in total. In addition, the noise mechanisms (the “killing factor” that limits the MR sensor performance) will be discussed, and I will show successful strategies for improving the signal-to-noise ratio, improving the ultimate field detectable by an MR sensor.

    Examples where spintronic sensors are useful tools for precision sensing will be provided, including integration with microfluidics, optical and MEMS micromachined actuators. The detection principles, sensor design, simulations and experimental validation will be discussed for exciting applications where MR sensors bring added value over other competing technologies. During my talk, I will show how challenging applications have identified creative solutions, requiring joint skills in transversal areas as physics, materials, electronics and mechanical engineering. I expect academics and engineers to be encouraged to propagate their expertise in magnetism to the young, talented people we see every day, so to trigger innovation in future spintronic sensors.
