The 132th Topical Symposium of The Magnetics Society of Japan

Recent Progress on Fabrication Technology of Nanostructured Magnetic Device

Recently, there has been an increasing interest in magnetic devices including tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR) devices, current-perpendicular-to-the-plane giant magnetoresistance (CPP-GMR) devices and high-frequency magnetic devices (HF-MEMS). For achieving advanced device performances, it is essential to miniaturize and control the structures of the film devices.
In this symposium, focus is upon the film fabrication methods and processes that could realize the miniaturization, ultra thin and multilayer, and controlled structures. The researchers actively working in this field will give us an explanatory talk and discuss how the properties and performance of the magnetic devices are related to these fabrication processes. This symposium invites participation and active discussion of researchers, engineers, and students who are interested in this emerging field.
