Embodiment 1

[0021] The invention provides a highly sensitive humidity detector, such as figure 1 As shown, it includes an antiferromagnetic layer 1 , a pinning layer 2 , a barrier layer 3 , a free layer 4 , and a hygroscopic expansion material part 5 . The material of the antiferromagnetic layer 1 is a hard magnetic antiferromagnetic material, specifically, the material of the antiferromagnetic layer 1 is IrMn, PtMn, FeMn. The pinning layer 2 is placed on the antiferromagnetic layer 1 . The material of the pinning layer 2 is a metal or semi-metal with high spin polarizability, specifically, the material of the pinning layer 2 is Co, Fe, CoFe, CoFeB, CoFeAl alloy. The barrier layer 3 is placed on the pinning layer 2 . The material of the barrier layer 3 is aluminum oxide or magnesium oxide. The free layer 4 is placed on the barrier layer 3 . The barrier layer 3 separates the pinned layer 2 and the free layer 4 . The material of the free layer 4 is soft magnetic material with weak magn...

Embodiment 2

[0025] On the basis of Example 1, such as figure 1 As shown, the hygroscopic swelling material portion 5 is in contact with the free layer 4 . In this way, when the hygroscopic expansion material part 5 expands, it will also squeeze the free layer 4, thereby changing the stress in the free layer 4, thereby changing the spin state of the free layer 4, thereby changing the magnetoresistance of the magnetic tunnel junction. Therefore, this embodiment can realize humidity detection with higher sensitivity.

Embodiment 3

[0027] On the basis of Example 2, such as figure 2 As shown, in adjacent holes, the heights of the hygroscopic expansion material parts 5 are different. In this way, the compressive forces exerted by the hygroscopic expansion material parts 5 in adjacent holes on the free layer 4 are different, thereby causing the effect of twisting stress on the free layer 4, thereby changing the spin in the free layer 4 more. state, thereby changing the magnetoresistance of the magnetic tunnel junction more, thereby achieving higher sensitivity humidity detection.

[0028] Furthermore, the holes are arranged non-periodically. That is, the distances between the holes are not equal. In this way, it is easier to cause inhomogeneous stress distribution inside the free layer 4, thereby changing the spin state of the free layer 4 more, thereby changing the magnetoresistance of the magnetic tunnel junction more, thereby achieving higher sensitivity to humidity probing.

Abstract

The invention relates to the field of humidity detection, and specifically provides a high-sensitivity humidity detector, wherein a pinned layer is placed on an antiferromagnetic layer, a potential barrier layer is placed on a pinned layer, and a free layer is placed on a potential On the barrier layer, the potential barrier layer separates the pinned layer and the free layer, the free layer is provided with a penetrating hole, and the hygroscopic expansion material portion is placed on the potential barrier layer at the bottom of the hole. In the present invention, the pinned layer, the barrier layer, and the free layer constitute a magnetic tunnel junction. During application, the present invention is placed in the humidity environment to be measured; at the same time, a fixed magnetic field is applied to act on the present invention. The humidity of the environment to be measured is determined by measuring the difference between the magnetic resistance of the magnetic tunnel junction in the environment of humidity to be measured and the environment of humidity not to be measured. The invention has the advantage of high humidity detection sensitivity.
