Patent number: 11652243Abstract: A non-destructive inspection method of inspecting an inspection target using multiple different types of non-destructive inspection means that include one non-destructive inspection means and at least one other non-destructive inspection means. The method includes determining a marking position on the inspection target in a detection result by the one non-destructive inspection means, causing a device to store the marking position, and fixedly forming a mark on the inspection target corresponding to the marking position. The mark is detectable by the other non-destructive inspection means. The method further includes causing the other non-destructive inspection means to inspect an inspection target including the mark. The method further includes contrasting detection results by the multiple different types of non-destructive inspection means in reference to the mark which is the marking position.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2018Date of Patent: May 16, 2023Assignees: KONICA MINOLTA, INC, SPIN SENSING FACTORY CORP.Inventors: Masahiro Imada, Takuji Hatano, Koujirou Sekine, Masaaki Tsuchida, Tsukasa Yagi

Patent number: 10727402Abstract: A method for producing a tunnel magnetoresistive element includes a stacking step, then in-magnetic field heating, and then dry etching. The stacking includes stacking a B absorption layer which is in contact with an upper surface of a CoFeB layer. The dry etching includes removal of layers to the B absorption layer. An end of etching is set as an end point time detected by an analysis device when a final layer before the B absorption layer directly above the CoFeB layer is exposed has reduced to a prescribed level, or when the B absorption layer directly above the CoFeB layer has increased to the prescribed level. An amount of over-etching after the end point time is specified in advance, and the B absorption layer is stacked such that the thickness from the prescribed level to the upper surface of the CoFeB layer corresponds to the over-etching amount.Type: GrantFiled: January 17, 2018Date of Patent: July 28, 2020Assignees: TOHOKU UNIVERSITY, KONICA MINOLTA, INC.Inventors: Yasuo Ando, Mikihiko Oogane, Kosuke Fujiwara, Koujirou Sekine, Junichi Jono, Masaaki Tsuchida
