Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of TMR magnetic field sensor, and particularly relates to a single-substrate full-bridge TMR magnetic field sensor and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] TMR sensor is a new type of sensor that has been applied in industry in recent years. The sensor uses the tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) effect of a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) multilayer film to detect an external magnetic field. The resistance of the magnetic multilayer film in the TMR sensor changes with the angle and size of the external magnetic field. Compared with the Hall and AMR (Anisotropic Magnetoresistance) sensors that are widely used at present, the TMR sensor has the advantages of high sensitivity, high resistivity, low power consumption, and high resolution, and is the focus of current industry research.

[0003] In the use process of the TMR sensor, temperature drift and zero error need to be considered. People generally use a Wheatstone full-bridge structure. Compared with a single-resistor and reference-resistor half-bridge sensor, the structure has higher sensitivity and good temperature compensation function, and can suppress the output signal drift caused by temperature.

[0004] A typical full-bridge TMR magnetic field sensor structure is shown in Figure 1 Figure 1 A vertical full-bridge TMR magnetic field sensor sensitive to the z-axis is taken as an example. There are four groups of MTJ devices in total. The MTJ devices of each bridge arm are composed of a plurality of magnetic tunnel junctions in series and parallel. The MTJ devices on adjacent bridge arms have opposite output trends to the same magnetic field, that is, the reference layer magnetization directions of the MTJ devices on adjacent bridge arms are opposite. The reference layer magnetization directions of the MTJ devices on one pair of opposite bridge arms are upward, and the reference layer magnetization directions of the MTJ devices on the other pair of opposite bridge arms are downward.

[0005] In the prior art, in order to realize two different magnetization directions on a single substrate, a typical solution is to magnetize the reference layers of the MTJ devices on different bridge arms by a precisely positionable laser annealing device in two times. Each time of laser heating heats only the wafer position corresponding to one group of bridge arms. This method not only increases the complexity of the sensor manufacturing process, but also requires a special annealing device, thereby increasing the cost. SUMMARY

[0032] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the application will be described below in connection with the drawings of the embodiments of the application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the application, rather than all the embodiments of the application. Based on the embodiments in the application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the application.

[0033] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", and the like in the description and in the claims of the present application and the above-described accompanying drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and do not necessarily indicate a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data thus used can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances, so that the embodiments of the present application described herein can be implemented.

[0034] Some embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following examples and features in the examples can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0035] An embodiment of the present application proposes a preparation method of a single-substrate full-bridge TMR magnetic field sensor, referring to Figures 2A~2F The preparation method comprises the following steps:

[0036] As shown in Figure 2A , a substrate (also referred to as a wafer) is provided, and the substrate 10 has a bottom metal interconnection structure (not shown) formed therein for subsequent interconnection of MTJ devices. A pinning layer film 11, a coupling transition layer film 12 and a protective layer film 13 are sequentially formed on the substrate 10. According to an embodiment of the present application, the material of the pinning layer film 11 is selected from one or more combinations of MnGa, MnAl, FePt, FePd and CoTb. The structure of the coupling transition layer film 12 adopts any one of the following: Co, CoxFe1-x (x>20 at %), [Co / Heavy Metal]n multilayer film, and the heavy metal is one of Pt, Ni and Pd. In some embodiments, a layer of Co can also be coated on the [Co / Heavy Metal]n multilayer film to improve its properties. The basic principle is that the layer in direct contact with the pinning layer film 11 is a magnetic layer with a higher Co content. The protective layer film 13 is a Ti film with a thickness of 1-3 nm.

[0037] Further, after the pinning layer film 11 is formed, an annealing process is performed to improve the crystal structure of the pinning layer film 11.

[0038] Then the film stack structure of the MTJ reference layer below to the substrate is constructed. As shown in Figure 2B , photoresist (PR) is spin-coated, and the protective layer film 13 is patterned and defined by a photolithography process to form a first region and a second region.

[0039] As shown in Figure 2CAs shown, the protective layer film 13 and the coupling transition layer film 12 in the second region are removed. Here, we exemplify the removal of the entire coupling transition layer film 12 in the second region through an etching process, followed by resist removal and cleaning after etching. It should be noted that in some embodiments, a portion of the coupling transition layer film 12 may be retained and completely removed in subsequent processes.

[0040] like Figure 2D As shown, the wafer is baked, and then the protective layer film 13 of the first region is removed by plasma bombardment or wet etching, ultimately leaving only the coupling transition layer film 12 of the first region. It is understood that if there are remnants of the coupling transition layer film 12 of the second region from previous etching processes, the coupling transition layer film 12 of the second region will be completely removed during or after the removal of the protective layer film 13 of the first region. Preferably, according to an embodiment of the present invention, after removing the protective layer film of the first region, surface treatment is performed using hydrogen plasma (H+ ions) to further remove any potential oxide layer on the surface.

[0041] Then as Figure 2E As shown, multiple MTJ films are deposited, including at least a reference layer film 14, a barrier layer film 15, and a free layer film 16 from bottom to top, covering the first and second regions. Preferably, according to an embodiment of the present invention, after depositing the multiple MTJ films, an annealing process is performed to crystallize each MTJ film to obtain high TMR. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the reference layer film 14 is any one of the following: Co x Fe 1-x (x<20at%) monolayer, Co x Fe 1-x (x<20at%) / CoFe stack, [Co] x Fe 1-x (x<20at%) / CoFeB]n multilayer film, [Fe / CoFeB]n multilayer film, [Co x Fe 1-x [x<20at%) / spacer layer / CoFeB]n multilayer film, wherein the spacer layer is one of Mo, W, or Ta. The barrier layer film 15 is one of MgO, MgAlO, or Al2O3, with a thickness between 1.0 and 2.0 nm. The free layer film 16 is any one of the following: CoFeB monolayer, NiFe monolayer, or CoFeB / NiFe stack.

[0042] Then as Figure 2FAs shown, the MTJ device with a first stack structure is formed in the first region and the MTJ device with a second stack structure is formed in the second region by photolithography and etching processes, the first stack structure includes the first pinned layer 111, the coupling transition layer 121, the first reference layer 141, the first barrier layer 151 and the first free layer 161 stacked in order from bottom to top, and the second stack structure includes the second pinned layer 112, the second reference layer 142, the second barrier layer 152 and the second free layer 162 stacked in order from bottom to top.

[0043] It is easily understood that the substrate 10 does not need to be etched, and the layers of thin films are etched from top to bottom, if necessary, a suitable hard mask layer is deposited. The first pinned layer 111, the coupling transition layer 121, the first reference layer 141, the first barrier layer 151 and the first free layer 161 are obtained by etching the pinned layer thin film 11, the coupling transition layer thin film 12, the reference layer thin film 14, the barrier layer thin film 15 and the free layer thin film 16 in the first region. The second pinned layer 112, the second reference layer 142, the second barrier layer 152 and the second free layer 162 are obtained by etching the pinned layer thin film 11, the reference layer thin film 14, the barrier layer thin film 15 and the free layer thin film 16 in the second region.

[0044] After the MTJ device is formed, an external magnetic field is applied for initialization, so that the first pinned layer 111 and the second pinned layer 112 have the same vertical magnetization, the coupling transition layer 121 and the first reference layer 141 have vertical magnetization and the magnetization direction is opposite to that of the first pinned layer 111, the second reference layer 142 has vertical magnetization and the magnetization direction is the same as that of the second pinned layer 112, and the first free layer 161 and the second free layer 162 have in-plane magnetization, which can be the same or different.

[0045] In addition, in order to realize the interconnection of the MTJ device, it is necessary to form a top metal interconnection structure on the top, cooperate with the bottom metal interconnection structure in the substrate 10, so that the MTJ device in the first region constitutes two groups of MTJ devices on the opposite bridge arms, and the MTJ device in the second region constitutes two groups of MTJ devices on the other pair of opposite bridge arms, and is connected into a full-bridge structure.

[0046] The preparation method of the single-substrate full-bridge TMR magnetic field sensor provided by the embodiment of the application comprises the following steps: forming an MTJ device with a first stack structure in a first region and forming an MTJ device with a second stack structure in a second region, the first stack structure comprising a first pinned layer, a coupling transition layer, a first reference layer, a first barrier layer and a first free layer which are sequentially stacked from bottom to top, and the second stack structure comprising a second pinned layer, a second reference layer, a second barrier layer and a second free layer which are sequentially stacked from bottom to top; when an external magnetic field is applied (for example, upward), the magnetization directions of the first pinned layer and the second pinned layer will be consistent with the external field (upward), the MTJ device in the first region exhibits anti-ferromagnetic coupling because the coupling transition layer in contact with the first pinned layer has a relatively high Co content (> 20 at %), and finally the reference layer of the MTJ device in the first region generates a magnetization direction opposite to that of the first pinned layer. The MTJ device in the second region exhibits ferromagnetic coupling because the second reference layer in contact with the second pinned layer has a relatively low Co content (< 20 at %), and finally the reference layer of the MTJ device in the second region generates a magnetization direction same as that of the second pinned layer. Therefore, only one external magnetic field magnetization is needed to obtain MTJ devices with two different magnetization directions, the process is simple, and the cost is reduced.

[0047] In another aspect, the embodiment of the application provides a single-substrate full-bridge TMR magnetic field sensor, comprising four groups of MTJ devices connected in a full-bridge structure, two groups of MTJ devices on one pair of opposite bridge arms are located in a first region of a substrate, and two groups of MTJ devices on the other pair of opposite bridge arms are located in a second region of the substrate.
