Abstract

The invention discloses a magnetic resistance Z-axis gradient sensor chip which is used for detecting the gradients of components of a Z-axis magnetic field generated by magnetic media in the X-Y plane so as to conduct magnetic imaging on the magnetic media. The magnetic resistance Z-axis gradient sensor chip comprises a Si substrate, two or two groups of sets containing a plurality of flux leaders and magnetic resistance sensing units which are electrically connected, wherein the distance between the sets is Lg. The magnetic resistance sensing units are located on the Si substrate and located above or below the edges of the flux leaders, the components of the Z-axis magnetic field are converted into the mode that the components of the Z-axis magnetic field are parallel to the surface of the Si substrate and in the direction of the sensitive axes of the magnetic resistance sensing units, and the magnetic resistance sensing units are electrically connected into a half-bridge or whole-bridge gradient meter, wherein the distance between opposite bridge arms is Lg. The sensor chip can be used together with a PCB, a PCB and back magnetor a PBC and back magnet and packaging shell. According to the magnetic resistance Z-axis gradient sensor chip, measurement of the Z-axis magnetic field gradient is achieved by using plane sensitive magnetic resistance sensors, and the magnetic resistance Z-axis gradient sensor chip has the advantages of being small in size and low in power consumption, having higher magnetic field sensitivity than a Hall sensor and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of magnetic sensors, in particular to a magnetoresistance Z-axis gradient sensor chip. Background technique [0002] Magnetoresistive gradient sensors are widely used in gear speed sensors and magnetic image sensors, such as POS machine magnetic heads, banknote detector magnetic heads, etc. Usually, magnetoresistive sensors such as GMR and TMR sensors have planar sensitive units whose magnetic field sensitivity direction is parallel to the sensor The chip plane where it is located, while the Hall sensor has a Z-axis sensitive direction perpendicular to the plane. At present, when the Hall sensor is used in a magnetic image sensor, there are mainly Hall effect magnetic heads of Murata's InSb thin film material, which are measured based on the Z-axis magnetic field component. However, whether it is a Hall sensor based on the Z-axis magnetic field component for measurement, or a GMR and TMR sensor based on the in-plane m...
