  • Abstract
    Memory elements 0.2 microns wide made from multilayer GMR material have been studied experimentally and analytically. When etched into narrow elements, the 12 to 15% material exhibits a memory mode with large outputs of ±8%. Analysis shows that the mode is suitable for multi-megabit die with high performance if yield can be achieved
