The Effect of Geometrical Overlap between Giant Magnetoresistance Sensor and Magnetic Flux Concentrators: A Novel Comb-Shaped Sensor for Improved Sensitivity
2022
Overview
The combination of magnetoresistive (MR) element and magnetic flux concentrators (MFCs) offers highly sensitive magnetic field sensors. To maximize the effect of MFC, the geometrical design between the MR element and MFCs is critical. In this paper, we present simulation and experimental studies on the effect of the geometrical relationship between current-in-plane giant magnetoresistive (GMR) element and MFCs made of a NiFeCuMo film. Finite element method (FEM) simulations showed that although an overlap between the MFCs and GMR element enhances their magneto-static coupling, it can lead to a loss of magnetoresistance ratio due to a magnetic shielding effect by the MFCs. Therefore, we propose a comb-shaped GMR element with alternate notches and fins. The FEM simulations showed that the fins of the comb-shaped GMR element provide a strong magneto-static coupling with the MFCs, whereas the electric current is confined within the main body of the comb-shaped GMR element, resulting in improved sensitivity. We experimentally demonstrated a higher sensitivity of the comb-shaped GMR sensor (36.5 %/mT) than that of a conventional rectangular GMR sensor (28 %/mT).
