Abstract
Dual synthetic spin valves using IrMn as the antiferromagnetic layer have b een fabricated with areal densities from 10 to 36 gbit/in(2), Tests for the environmental corrosion resistance, thermal stability, and ESD damage thre sholds show these devices are reliable and viable as high density spin valv e designs.
