Benefits of technology

[0009]The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is the defect that an existing AMR sensor cannot realize the tri-axis integration; and in one aspect, the present invention is related to a monolithic tri-axis AMR sensor with high reliability and low production cost.

Problems solved by technology

This makes realization of multi-axis integration on the same substrate a challenge in a manufacturing process thereof.
However, the market of such product is very sensitive to the cost, and a small packaging size is further required.
For the AMR sensor, the multi-axis integration is always a challenge.
Those methods are used in production by different vendors, but proved to be difficult to improve process control and reliability and to reduce production cost.
Substantially, the two axes have intrinsic anisotropies in the same direction, which is unfavorable to the precise measurement.
Therefore, a heretofore unaddressed need exists in the art to address the aforementioned deficiencies and inadequacies.

Abstract

A monolithic tri-axis anisotropic magnetoresistive (AMR) sensor and the method of manufacturing of the AMR sensor are presented. In one embodiment, the monolithic tri-axis AMR sensor includes (a) a substrate, (b) a first horizontal direction sensor disposed on the substrate, (c) a second horizontal direction sensor disposed on the substrate, (d) a third horizontal direction sensor disposed on the substrate, and (e) a flux concentrator disposed on the third horizontal direction sensor, wherein the flux concentrator is in cooperation with the third horizontal direction sensor to realize a function of a Z-axis sensor, such that the Z-axis direction can be effectively measured. The integration of the tri-axis AMR sensor is therefore accomplished. In addition, the integrated tri-axis AMR sensor has low production cost and improved reliability.
