Abstract: A magnetic bubble device in which a first propagation path having a cyclic shape formed by selectively implanting ions into a magnetic film capable of holding magnetic bubbles and a second propagation path including soft magnetic material elements are arranged on the same chip. A soft magnetic material element having a length in the direction perpendicular to the direction of bubble propagation in the first propagation path which is not less than 2.5 times the period of the first propagation path is included in the junction between the first and second propagation paths.

Abstract: A hybrid magnetic bubble memory device includes a first magnetic bubble propagation tracks formed of a portion of the boundary between first and second regions of a magnetic medium film having uniaxial anisotropy and adapted to be applied with a magnetic field in a direction perpendicular to the magnetic medium film to generate magnetic bubbles therein, and a second magnetic bubble propagation tracks formed of a soft magnetic material film on the magnetic medium film and connected with the first magnetic bubble propagation tracks. The first region is implanted with ions under ion-implant conditions different from those for the second region, and thus the above boundary is produced.

Abstract: A conductor pattern and an ion implanting mask are simultaneously formed by photoetching a conductor film through a single photoresist pattern. An area on which a conductor pattern is to be formed is covered with a photoresist, and ions are implanted to a magnetic film using the conductor film portion not convered with the photoresist, to form a magnetic bubble propagation track. The ion implantation mask and the conductor pattern are formed simultaneously through one mask. Accordingly, reduction of accuracy due to an error in mask alignment is prevented and the manufacturing is facilitated.

Abstract: A magnetic bubble memory device comprises a magnetic bubble propagation track formed by ion implantation. A region enclosed by the propagation track and lightly or shallowly implanted with ions on a condition differing from that for forming the propagation track or not implanted with ions at all is provided with a island-like isolated region heavily or deeply implanted with ions on the same condition as that for forming the propagation track.

Abstract: Hydrogen ion is implanted twice or more at different acceleration voltages into desired portions of a magnetic film holding magnetic bubbles to form a magnetic bubble propagation path. This ensures production of an ion-implanted device having a sufficiently large anisotropic magnetic field parallel to the magnetic film and a high Curie temperature.

Abstract: A method of implanting a magnetic garnet film with ions is disclosed in which a covering film is provided on a monocrystalline magnetic garnet film for magnetic bubbles, and hydrogen ions are implanted in a desired portion of a surface region in the magnetic garnet film through the covering film. According to this method, it is possible to form an ion-implanted layer in which the ion concentration distribution in the direction of depth is uniform, and moreover the inplane anisotropy field in the ion-implanted layer decreases only a little with time in an annealing process.

Abstract: A magnetic bubble detector according to this invention is constructed of a bubble expander, a bubble detecting element and a bubble sweeper. Moreover, at least the width of soft magnetic material-elements constituting the bubble detecting element as taken in the propagating direction of magnetic bubbles is greater than that of soft magnetic material-elements constituting the bubble expander. As a result, the distances or distance between the magnetic bubble in the bubble detecting element and the magnetic bubbles or bubble in the bubble expander and/or the bubble sweeper increase or increases, so that a magnetic bubble detector of high signal-to-noise ratio is provided.

Abstract: A magnetic bubble memory device according to this invention comprises a plurality of minor loops, a read-out major line is disposed at one end of the minor loops through gates having a replicating function, and a magnetic bubble detector which includes a detecting line is disposed at one end of the major line. Further, a propagation length from the other end of the read-out major line to the detecting line of the magnetic bubble detector is set at a bit length which slightly exceeds four times the number of the minor loops. For this reason, a continuous read-out operation at high speed is permitted without the influence of replicate pulses.

Abstract: The magnetic bubble memory device of this invention is arranged such that a magnetic bubble detector and a nucleation type magnetic bubble generator in a chip are made to operate at different phases of the same operation cycle of a rotating magnetic field. Therefore, the operation time of the magnetic bubble detector and the operation time of the nucleation type magnetic bubble detector are completely separated from each other, although they are involved by the same cycle of operation of the rotating magnetic field. Consequently, the magnetic bubble detector can perform the detecting operation, without being affected by large amounts of noise which are generated during the operation of the nucleation type magnetic bubble generator.
