A DC behavioral electrical model for quasi-linear spin-valve devices including thermal effects for circuit simulation

2011

An advanced model for quasi-linear spin-valve (SV) structures is presented for circuit simulation purposes. The model takes into account electrical and thermal effects in a coupled way in order to allow a coherent representation of the sensor physics for design purposes of electronics applications based on these sensor devices. The model was implemented in Verilog-A and used in a commercial circuit simulator. For testing the model, different SV structures have been specifically fabricated and measured. The characterization included DC measurements as well as steady-state and transient thermal analysis. From the experimental data, the parameters of the model have been extracted. The model re…
