  • Patent number: 12207571
    Abstract: An interconnect structure includes: an interconnect layer containing a metal element as a main component and extending in a direction; a metal layer opposite to the interconnect layer, and a solid electrolyte layer between the interconnect layer and the metal layer. The solid electrolyte layer encloses the interconnect layer at least in a cross-sectional view taken along a plane orthogonal to the direction. The interconnect layer and the metal layer are electrically insulated from each other by the solid electrolyte layer.

  • Publication number: 20240312680
    Abstract: Provided are a power generation element, an encoder, and a method of manufacturing a magnetic member capable of increasing generated power. Power generation element includes magnetic member that produces a large Barkhausen effect, coil wound around magnetic member, and ferrite member provided at an end of magnetic member to be aligned with coil along a winding axis direction of coil. Ferrite member includes main body located inside columnar space and protrusion connected to main body and located outside columnar space. Columnar space is surrounded by a virtual plane when it is assumed that an outer edge of coil when viewed from the winding axis direction of coil is extended to both sides of the coil in the winding axis direction of coil, and is sandwiched between two virtual planes that are in contact with both ends of magnetic member in the winding axis direction of coil and are orthogonal to the winding axis direction.

  • Publication number: 20240036124
    Abstract: A magnetic sensor includes a waveguide, a first electrode, a second electrode, and a detection electrode. In the waveguide, a first position, a detection position, and a second position are arranged in this order. The first electrode excites a first spin wave. The first spin wave is propagated from the first position to the detection position. The second electrode excites a second spin wave. The second spin wave is propagated from the second position to the detection position. The detection electrode extracts a signal from the detection position.
