Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a temperature control switch sensor made by using a giant magnetoresistance (GMR) spin valve. Background technique
[0002] The coercive force of many ferromagnetic materials is related to temperature, and generally decreases gradually with the increase of temperature. There are many related documents, such as Appl.Phys.Lett.Vol 77, 2731, 2000 mentioned in giant magnetic Co commonly used in resistance optional valve material. Such a method is described in a patent (Application No. 95105085.0) published by IBM Corporation of the United States, that is, a conductive fixed layer is formed on the substrate to insulate from the respective spin valve elements. At present, the temperature sensors on the market mainly include diode temperature detectors, which are mainly used to monitor and protect the CPU in computers (typically MaximIntegrated Products MAX6511 / MAX6512, MAX1617, etc.), generally used in notebook computers, desktop PC...
