摘要
We report on a magnetic field sensor based on CoFeB/MgO/CoFeB magnetic tunnel junctions. By taking advantage of the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy of the MgO/CoFeB interface, the magnetization of the sensing layer is tilted out-of-plane which results in a linear magnetoresistance response to in-plane magnetic fields. The application of a bias voltage across the MgO tunnel barrier of the sensor affects the magnetic anisotropy and thereby its sensing properties. We propose a voltage-tunable magnetic field sensor design that allows for active control of the sensitivity and the operating field range by the strength and polarity of the applied bias voltage.
