Patent number: 6692847Abstract: A magneto resistive sensor having a GMR magnetic laminated film is disclosed. The GMR magnetic laminated film comprises a plurality of magnetic thin layers having a NiCoFeB composition alternately laminated with a nonmagnetic thin layer, such as copper layer. Since the magnetic thin layer contains B in its composition, the GMR magnetic laminated film can stand in magneto resistance ratio (&Dgr;R/R %) under a high temperature of up to 250 degrees centigrade. By the reason, electric wiring can be connected by a lead-free solder to assemble a magnetic resistive sensor for a magnetic rotary encoder. The thermal resistance variation and the magneto resistance ratio are further improved when a NiFeCr underlayer is used under the GMR magnetic laminated film.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2001Date of Patent: February 17, 2004Assignee: Hitachi Metals, Ltd.Inventors: Fumio Shirasaki, Hiroyuki Mima, Hitoshi Harata, Hiromitsu Itabashi
