Effect of a deposited coupling loop on the high-speed switching properties or a magnetic thin film

Future applications of magnetic thin films to computer circuitry will require the use of integrated deposited circuitry, which involves depositing magnetic films and associated electrical circuitry on the same substrate. It is verified that the extremely close coupling between a magnetic film and a surrounding deposited loop in this configuration results in 100% flux linkage with the loop. The dependence of the observed flux linkage of the deposited loop on the loop circuitry is studied; the effect of width, thickness, and separation of deposited loop conductors on high-speed film switching is investigated; and the relative importance of circulating loop currents and eddy currents in the conductor materials in slowing film switching is evaluated.
