Research paper thumbnail of Magnetic properties of Ni-Co thick-film magnetoresistors

A bulk NiCo metal sheet of comparable composition was also studied. Values of the magnetic polarization J of 0.28 and 0.435 T were obtained (at 200 kA/m) for films prepared at 750 and 950°C, respectively, in contrast with J=0.98 T for the bulk alloy. In addition, the magnetoresistive responses of the layers and the sheet were plotted. These data suggest that strains, pores and lack of composition homogeneity in the films concur in affecting their magnetic properties, and are responsible for their reduced magnetoresistance anisotropy (e.g. ca. 4% for films as compared to ca. 8% for the bulk alloy at H=80 kA/m).

First, the physical concepts which are essential for the understanding of these devices are recalled, and the characteristics and limitations (particularly temperature limitations) of semiconductor strain gauges are discussed. A further section is devoted to strain-gauge pressure transducers (the most important application of strain gauges), and, finally, possible future developments are outlined.

The purpose is to understand the effects of resistivity decrease and TCR variation caused by the migration of metal particles from the terminations into the resistor film.
