To observe the effect of excitation coil pitch on the micro fluxgate magnetic sensor, two sensors are fabricated using multi layer board process and the pitch distance of excitation coil are $260\;{\mu}m$ and $520\;{\mu}m$, respectively. The fluxgate sensor consists of five PCB stack layers including one layer of magnetic core and four layers of excitation and pick-up coils. The center layer as magnetic core is made of a Co-based amorphous magnetic ribbon with extremely high DC permeability of ${\sim}100,000$ and has a rectangular-ring shape to minimize the magnetic flux leakage. Four outer layers as excitation and pick-up coils have a planar solenoid structure and are made of copper foil. In case of the fluxgate sensor having the excitation coil pitch of $260\;{\mu}m$, excellent linear response over the range of $-100\;{\mu}T$ to $+100\;{\mu}T$ is obtained with sensitivity of 780 V/T at excitation sine wave of $3V_{p_p}$ and 360 kHz. The chip size of the fabricated sensing element is $7.3\;{\times}\;5.7\;mm^2$. The very low power consumption of ${\sim}8\;mW$ is measured. This magnetic sensor is very useful for various applications such as: portable navigation systems, telematics, VR game and so on.

The glass/Ta(5.8 nm)/NiFe(5 nm)/Cu(2.3 nm)/NiFe(3 nm)/IrMn(12 nm)/Ta(5.8 nm) GMR-SV (giantmagneto-resistance-spin valve) multilayer structure films with a magnetoresistance ratio (MR) of 5.0 % and a magnetic sensitivity (MS) of 1.5%/Oe was deposited by dc magnetron sputtering method. Also, GMR-SV device having a width of $7{\mu}m{\sim}8{\mu}m$ similar to the diameter of RBC (red blood cell) was fabricated by the light lithography process. When RBCs coupled with several magnetic beads with a diameter of $1{\mu}m$ dropped upon the GMR-SV device having MR = 1.06% and MS = 0.3 %/Oe, there is observed the variation of about included of a resistance value of ${\Delta}R=0.4{\Omega}$ and ${\Delta}MR=0.15%$ around a external magnetic field of -0.6 Oe. From these results, the GMR-SV device having the width magnitude of a few micron size can be applied as the biosensor for the analysis of a new magnetic property of hemoglobin inside of RBC combined to magnetic beads.

In this study, the control of the free surface deformation of a magnetic fluid for the change in electromagnetic force is discussed. The free surface of magnetic fluid is formed by the balance of surface force, gravity, pressure difference, magnetic normal pressure and magnetic body force. Magnetic fluid in characteristics of fluid adjusted to the opposite direction of the gravity direction. Thus, the device of a magnetic fluid proposed the complete zero-leakage sealing, oscillator for surface control, boundary layer control, MHD, flow control, flow using magnetic levitation system and surface actuator. This study show the deformation of surface rise due to the intensity of the magnetic field and possibility of two-dimensional control of magnetic fluid through the feedback data of hall sensor.

This investigation suggests a new non-contact type sensor that can measure flexural vibrations of a non-ferromagnetic pipe. The sensor works on the reversed Lorentz force mechanism; however, anti-symmetric bias magnetic field suggested in this work should be applied to measure bending vibration of a non-ferromagnetic pipe. The importance of the suggested magnetic field is verified by a series of experiments. The sensor is applied to the bending vibration measurement and modal testing of an aluminum pipe and shows satisfactory working performance compared to others.

기록저장 장치의 고 기록밀도에 따라서 급성장을 하고 있는 자기 기록매체에 대하여 자장 센서의 크기의 감소는 외부 누설자계의 영향으로 많은 노이즈와 함께 안정한 스핀 작동을 구현할 수 없게 된다. 이를 해결하기 위해 반강자성적 결합을 하고 있는 합성형 반강자성적 다층막을 고정층에 삽입하여 고정층과 자유층간의 정자기적 영향을 억제하는 방법과 함께 높은 GMR비를 얻음으로서 노이즈보다 높은 신호출력을 얻는 방법이 있다. (중략)

잠수함이 가장 취약한 시기는 잠수함이 스노클이나 잠망경 운용을 위하여 잠망경 심도로 항해할 경우이며, 이때에는 비음향 탐지센서인 레이더와 광학, 사람에 의한 시각에 탐지될 확률이 매우 높다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이러한 상황에서 탐지되는 취약성을 극복하고자 잠수함 마스트 및 잠망경 부분에 비음향 스텔스를 적용하고자 한다. 먼저 비음향 탐지센서에 대해서 조사하고, 그에 따른 스텔스 기법을 분야별 분석하여 최적화한 결과 다층형 구조로 선체표면부터 RAM layer, IR layer, Camouflage layer 구조로 각각 RAM layer는 자성재료인 페라이트계열로 3~5mm, IR layer는 Ceramic 또는 Nickel 계열로 1~2mm, Camouflage layer는 군청색 계열 페인팅을 제시하였다.

최근 국내 반도체 기술의 비약적인 발전으로 전자 기기 전반에 소형화, 고주파화, 고기능화 등이 진행되는데 반해, 반도체 소자등에 전원을 공급하거나 회로 전체를 운용하는 전기 신호를 변조.증폭시키는데 반해, 반도체 소자등에 전원을 공급하거나 회로 전체를 운용하는 전기신호를 변조.증폭시키는 인덕터, 트랜스 포머와 같은 수동 자기 소자는 아직도 3차원 벌크 형태로 사용되고 있다. 일본을 중심으로 각국에서는 자기 소자의 박막.소형화에 대한 다각도의 연구가 진행되었으나 국내서는 아직 미미한 실정이다. 따라서 고집적 전원 공급 장치나 지능 센서 등에 반도체와 자기 소자의 사용 주파수 대역과 크기가 통합된 반도체-자성체 IC(semiconductor-magnetic integrated circuit)의 필요성이 절실히 요구되고 있다. 현재 사용중인 벌크형 인덕터나, 트랜스 포머의 경우 10NHz이상의 고주파 대역에는 응용되지 못하고 있다. 이는 적용된 자성체가 페라이트(ferrite)로서 초투자율은 크지만 고주파대역에서의 공진 현상에 의해 저투자율을 나타내고, 포화 자속밀도가 낮기 때문이다. 이러한 페라이트 자성체의 대체품으로 주목받고 있는 것이 Fe, Co계 고비저항 자성마이다. 그러나 Co는 낮은 포화자속밀도를 나타내기 때문에 이러한 조건을 충족시키는 자성막으로 Fe계 미세 결정막을 사용하였다. 본 연구에서는 선택적 전기 도금법(selective electroplating method)과 LIGA like process를 이용하여 공시형 인덕터(air core inductor)의 라이브러리(library)를 구축한 뒤, 고주파 대역에서의 우수한 연자기 특성을 가지는 Ti/FeTaN막을 적용한 자기 박막 인덕터(magnetic thin film inductor)를 제작하여 비교.분석하였다. 제조된 인덕터의 특성 추정은 impedence analyzer를 이용하여 주파수에 따른 저항(resistance), 인덕턴스(inductance)를 측정, 계산한 성능지수(quality factor)로서 인덕터의 성능을 평가하였다. 제조된 박막 인덕터의 코일 형상은 5턴의 double rectangular spiral 구조였으며, 적용된 자성막의 유효 투자율9effective permeability)은 1500, 자성막, 절연막 그리고 코일의 두께는 각각 2$\mu\textrm{m}$, 1$\mu\textrm{m}$, 20$\mu\textrm{m}$이며 코일의 폭은 100$\mu\textrm{m}$, 코일간의 간격은 100$\mu\textrm{m}$였다. 제조된 박막 인덕터는 5MHz에서 1.0$\mu$H의 인덕턴스를 나타내었으며 dc current dervability는 100mA까지 유지되었다.

Magnetic sensors and actuators have been widely used in industry and medical fields. Integrated systems based on sensors and actuators are defined as mechatronics that is the general combination of mechanics and electronics. Recently, magnetic wireless sensors and actuators have been developed and used at a systematic level. In particular, their mechanisms depend on magnetic, such as magnetic material and physical phenomena. However, their research boundary has not been clear. Researchers talk of magnetic micro-robots, magnetic actuators and sensors. Therefore, a new and correct definition is required. In this study, we introduce the advanced and extended concept of mechatronics, which is a magneto-mechantronics for biomedical and rehabilitation. Among various applications, we focused on wireless pump and sensing system for blood vessel rehabilitation and local motion capture, respectively.

In this study, we have fabricated magnetoresistive sensors of $50{\mu}m{\times}50{\mu}m$ cross type by trilayer structure of antiferromagnetic/nonmagnetic/ferromagnetic. The magnetic signal and magnetic domain of this sensor is measured. The sensor hysteresis loop is not in symmetrical at 0 Oe. This is may be due to the exchange coupling between ferromagnetic layer and anti ferromagnetic layer. This exchange bias value is 20 Oe. The sensor signal is measured at between the applied magnetic field and current. The sensor signal is measured between the applied magnetic field and current at $20^{\circ}$ and $90^{\circ}$ angles. The sensitivity of sensor signals is $20{\mu}V/Oe$ and $7{\mu}V/Oe$ at $20^{\circ}$ and $90^{\circ}$ angles, respectively. In addition, this sensor is also applied for the detection of magnetic bacteria at $20^{\circ}$ angle. From these results, we calculate the stray field of single bacteria is to be $5{\times}10^{-5}$Oe.
