DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0037] The technical solutions in the embodiments (or, “modes of implementation”) of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings. In the following description, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated.
[0038] If the embodiments of the present application involve directional indications or positional relationships (for example, up, down, left, right, front, back, inner, outer, top, bottom, center, vertical, horizontal, longitudinal, transverse, length, width, counterclockwise, clockwise, axial, radial, circumferential, etc.), such terms are only used to explain the relative positional relationships, movement conditions, etc. between components in a certain specific posture (as shown in the drawings); if the specific posture changes, the directional indications or positional relationships also change accordingly. In addition, the embodiments of the present application involve the terms “first”, “second”, etc., which are only used for the convenience of description and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0039] In the related art, the magnetic response device and the inductor coil are usually vertically distributed in the chip, i.e., the magnetic response device is located in the lower layer and the inductor coil is located in the upper layer, and the two are electrically isolated by an insulating layer. This vertical distribution structure results in a large distance between the magnetic response device and the inductor coil, not only increasing the magnetic field transmission loss and reducing the signal-to-noise ratio, but also causing the device power consumption to increase due to the need for additional isolation layers and wiring space.
[0040] In the field of storage, new magnetoresistive devices usually need an auxiliary magnetic field to achieve stable and controllable electrical writing; at the same time, this special writing mechanism brings high sensitivity to external interference magnetic field, triggering the need for external magnetic shielding. In the field of sensing, magnetoresistive devices need to convert the response to the magnetic field into electrical changes. In a strong magnetic field, the magnetoresistive device will lose its working ability due to magnetic saturation; while the magnetoresistive device with a large magnetic saturation strength will be accompanied by low sensitivity, affecting its sensing ability. In particular, in the working scenario of "electric-magnetic-electric" conversion (such as magnetic isolator, whose magnetic field source is integrated inside the chip rather than external), the inductor coil above the magnetoresistive device not only occupies a large chip area, but also needs a strong current drive to generate a strong induced magnetic field (very large power consumption). We here propose a magnetoresistive device-coil structure that can solve all the above problems at one time.
[0041] The present application provides a magnetoresistive device, which can be a magnetic random access memory, a magnetoresistive sensor, a magnetoresistive isolator, etc. As shown in Figure 6 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8 , the magnetoresistive device can include: a substrate 1; a magnetic response device 4 disposed on one side of the substrate 1 and including a magnetic functional layer 402; an inductor coil 3 located on the same side of the substrate 1 as the magnetic response device 4; the inductor coil 3 includes a first trace 301 and a second trace 303, the second trace 303 is located on the side of the first trace 301 away from the substrate 1; the inductor coil 3 further includes a first connecting line 302 for connecting the first trace 301 and the second trace 303; wherein in the thickness direction of the substrate 1, the lower surface of the magnetic functional layer 402 is higher than the lower surface of the first trace 301, and the upper surface of the magnetic functional layer 402 is lower than the upper surface of the second trace 303.
[0042] The magnetoresistive device of the present application, the lower surface of the magnetic functional layer 402 is higher than the lower surface of the first trace 301, and the upper surface of the magnetic functional layer 402 is lower than the upper surface of the second trace 303, which makes the magnetic functional layer 402 located in the space between the first trace 301 and the second trace 303, i.e. the "sandwich" area of the inductor coil 3, improving the utilization rate of the magnetic field, reducing the driving power consumption, and improving the signal-to-noise ratio; converting the traditional longitudinal insulation isolation (vertical distribution structure in related art) into lateral isolation, eliminating the thickness requirement of the insulation layer; the number of turns of the inductor coil 3 is basically not limited by the horizontal area, which can reduce the coil design area and generate a larger adjustable magnetic field range; the inductor coil 3 can be designed in front of, behind, left and right of the response device, which can generate an electrically generated magnetic field in any horizontal direction to reversely offset the external magnetic field, increasing the working ability of the sensor in a strong magnetic field.
[0043] The parts of the magnetoresistive device of the present application will be described in detail below:
[0044] The substrate 1 is located at the bottom layer of the magnetoresistive device, and provides a supporting foundation for the entire device structure. The material of the substrate 1 can be selected from semiconductor materials (such as monocrystalline silicon, germanium silicon, etc.), insulating materials (such as sapphire, glass, etc.) or other suitable substrate materials for integrated circuit manufacturing. The shape of the substrate 1 is usually a planar sheet structure. In addition, for non-insulating materials, a first insulating layer 2 is also provided on the substrate 1.
[0045] The magnetoresponsive device 4 is provided on one side of the substrate 1 (for example, above the substrate 1), and further, the magnetoresponsive device 4 can be provided on the side of the first insulating layer 2 away from the substrate 1. The magnetoresponsive device 4 is the core component for realizing information storage or transmission, and the main structure is a magnetic functional layer 402. In an embodiment, the magnetic functional layer 402 can be a magnetic tunnel junction, and the material thereof usually includes a magnetic layer and a tunnel barrier layer, for example, from bottom to top, a reference layer (such as CoFeB, iron, nickel, cobalt, and alloys thereof, etc.), a tunnel barrier layer (such as MgO, aluminum oxide, titanium oxide, etc.), and a free layer (such as CoFeB, iron, nickel, cobalt, and alloys thereof, etc.), each layer being prepared by magnetron sputtering or atomic layer deposition, etc. In another embodiment, the magnetic functional layer 402 can be a metal type multilayer film, from bottom to top, a reference layer (such as CoFeB, iron, nickel, cobalt, and alloys thereof, etc.), a metal layer (such as Cu, etc.), and a free layer (such as CoFeB, iron, nickel, cobalt, and alloys thereof, etc.), which has a giant magnetoresistance effect. The shape of the magnetic functional layer 402 is generally columnar or ellipsoidal or cuboid structure. The magnetic tunnel junction has a tunnel magnetoresistance effect, and the magnetic state (the angle between the magnetic moment of the free layer and the reference layer) corresponds to different resistance values, thereby realizing the information conversion between magnetism and electricity. The resistance change of the magnetic tunnel junction can be realized by rewriting the magnetic moment of the free layer through the magnetic field provided by the inductive coil 3, or by the electrical writing of the tunnel junction itself. For electrical writing (spin-orbital torque (SOT) spin-orbital torque, voltage-controlled magnetic anisotropy (VCMA) voltage-controlled magnetic anisotropy, etc.), the inductive coil 3 can provide a small magnetic field for auxiliary electrical writing, or can be used as an anti-magnetic structure to offset external magnetic interference.
[0046] The magnetoresponsive device 4 further includes a first electrode 401 provided on the side of the magnetic functional layer 402 facing the substrate 1, and the orthographic projection of the first electrode 401 on the substrate 1 overlaps with the orthographic projection of the magnetic functional layer 402 on the substrate 1. Further, the orthographic projection of the magnetic functional layer 402 on the substrate 1 is located within the orthographic projection area of the first electrode 401 on the substrate 1, that is, the size of the first electrode 401 is greater than the bottom size of the magnetic functional layer 402, which can ensure effective electrical connection. The material of the first electrode 401 can be selected from metals with good electrical conductivity (such as Al, Ta, Ru, etc.), and the shape is a sheet or columnar structure matching the bottom of the magnetic functional layer 402.
[0047] The magnetic response device 4 further comprises a second electrode 403. The second electrode 403 is arranged on the side of the magnetic functional layer 402 opposite to the substrate 1, and the material thereof can be the same as or different from that of the first electrode 401 (such as Ta, Ru, TiN, etc.). When titanium nitride (TiN) is used as the material of the second electrode 403, the underlying magnetic layer (especially CoFeB which is sensitive to oxygen) can be effectively protected from oxidation in subsequent processes and long-term use, and the interface structure can be stabilized to prevent performance degradation caused by element interdiffusion. The shape of the second electrode 403 is a sheet structure or a columnar structure covering the top of the magnetic functional layer 402. The magnetic response device 4 further comprises a first lead-out portion 404. The first lead-out portion 404 is arranged on the side of the second electrode 403 opposite to the substrate 1, and the material of the first lead-out portion 404 is different from that of the second electrode 403. For example, the material of the first lead-out portion 404 can be a metal with good electrical conductivity (such as Ta, Ru, Cu, etc.). In addition, as shown in FIG. 1, the number of the magnetic response device 4 of the present application can be multiple. The magnetic response devices 4 can be connected in series or in parallel or arranged separately. Taking the case of connecting at least part of the magnetic response devices 4 in parallel as an example, the multiple magnetic response devices 4 connected in parallel can share the first electrode 401, the second electrode 403, or the first lead-out portion 404. Figure 9
[0048] The inductor coil 3 and the magnetic response device 4 are located on the same side of the substrate 1, and can be used to generate a write magnetic field or an auxiliary magnetic field for regulating the magnetic state of the magnetic functional layer 402. The inductor coil 3 comprises a first trace 301, a second trace 303, and a first connecting line 302. The first trace 301 is located on the side of the first insulating layer 2 opposite to the substrate 1, and is arranged in the same layer as the first electrode 401 of the magnetic response device 4, i.e., the first trace 301 and the first electrode 401 are formed by patterning the same conductive layer. The material of the first trace 301 can be a metal (such as Cu, Al, Ag, etc.), and the shape thereof is a long strip-shaped trace structure. The number of the first trace 301 is multiple, and the multiple first traces 301 are distributed along the first direction X (see FIG. 1), and can be arranged in parallel. The extension direction of the first trace 301 intersects the first direction X. The included angle between the extension direction of the first trace 301 and the first direction X can be an acute angle, an obtuse angle, or a right angle. The end of each first trace 301 is used to connect with the first connecting line 302. The function of the first trace 301 is to constitute the bottom conductive path of the inductor coil 3, and to form a spiral coil structure by cooperating with the second trace 303 and the first connecting line 302 to generate a magnetic field with a target intensity. Figure 7
[0049] The second trace 303 is located on the side of the first trace 301 away from the substrate 1, and is located above the first trace 301 and is electrically connected to the first trace 301 by the first connecting line 302. The material of the second trace 303 is the same as or similar to that of the first trace 301 (such as Cu, Al, etc.), and the shape is a long strip-shaped trace structure. The number of second traces 303 is multiple, and the multiple second traces 303 are distributed at intervals along the first direction X, and the multiple second traces 303 can be arranged in parallel. The extension direction of the second trace 303 intersects the extension direction of the first trace 301 and intersects the first direction X. The second trace 303 is arranged in the same layer as the first lead-out portion 404.
[0050] For any second trace 303, one end of the second trace 303 overlaps the end of one of the two adjacent first traces 301 in the orthographic projection on the substrate 1, and the other end of the second trace 303 overlaps the end of the other of the two adjacent first traces 301 in the orthographic projection on the substrate 1. The two ends of the above-mentioned orthographic projection overlap are connected by the first connecting line 302, that is, the two ends of any second trace 303 are connected to the ends of the two adjacent first traces 301 by the first connecting line 302, respectively. The second trace 303 forms an upper conductive path of the inductor coil 3, and together with the first trace 301 forms a three-dimensional coil structure, enhances the magnetic field strength and optimizes the magnetic field direction. Among them, the number of second traces 303 can be one less than the number of first traces 301, but the present application does not limit this.
[0051] The material of the above-mentioned first connecting line 302 is a conductive metal (such as W, Cu, etc.), and the shape is a columnar or plug-shaped structure. The function of the first connecting line 302 is to realize the electrical connection of the first trace 301 and the second trace 303, so that the current can flow between the first trace 301 and the second trace 303, thereby forming a complete coil current path.
[0052] The magnetoresistive device of the present application can further include a second insulating layer 7 covering the above-mentioned first electrode 401 and the plurality of first traces 301. The above-mentioned first lead portion and the plurality of second traces 303 are located on the surface of the second insulating layer 7 away from the substrate 1. The first connecting line 302 penetrates the second insulating layer 7.
[0053] The above magnetic response device 4 further comprises a second lead-out portion 406 and a second connecting line 405. The second lead-out portion 406 is located on the same side of the magnetic functional layer 402 as the first lead-out portion 404, and specifically, the second lead-out portion 406 is arranged in the same layer as the first lead-out portion 404. The material of the second lead-out portion 406 is the same as that of the first lead-out portion 404. The orthogonal projection of the second lead-out portion 406 on the substrate 1 overlaps the orthogonal projection of the first electrode 401 on the substrate 1. In the thickness direction of the substrate 1, the second connecting line 405 is located between the first electrode 401 and the second lead-out portion 406 and penetrates the second insulating layer 7, has the same material (such as W or Cu) as the first connecting line 302, has a columnar structure, has the same height as the first connecting line 302, and has the function of electrically connecting the first electrode 401 and the second lead-out portion 406 to form a complete lower electrode lead-out path. The application further comprises an insulating portion 5. The insulating portion 5 can be arranged between the adjacent second trace 303 and the first lead-out portion 404. Of course, the insulating portion 5 can also be arranged between the adjacent first lead-out portion 404 and the second lead-out portion 406. The material of the insulating portion 5 can be the same as that of the second insulating layer 7.
[0054] Further, in the first direction X, the magnetic functional layer 402 is located on one side of the inductor coil 3. Taking the number of inductor coils 3 as an example, the orthogonal projection of the plurality of inductor coils 3 on the substrate 1 surrounds the orthogonal projection of the magnetic functional layer 402. Further, taking the number of inductor coils 3 as an example, the two inductor coils 3 are respectively located on the two sides of the magnetic functional layer 402 in the first direction X to generate a uniform regulation magnetic field. The first trace 301 and the second trace 303 of each inductor coil 3 are designed according to the above structure. The magnetoresistive device of the application can further comprise a passivation layer 6 covering the first lead-out portion 404, the second lead-out portion 406, and the plurality of second traces 303. The passivation layer 6 can be an insulating layer.
