Abstract
A magnetic bubble memory has a first bubble propagation track formed with an ion-implanted pattern and a second bubble propagation track formed with permalloy members connected to each other to form a storage loop. The arrangement is such that a position of an attractive magnetic pole created in one of the permalloy members coincides with a position of an attractive charged wall appearing in the ion-implanted layer at a junction of the first and second bubble propagation tracks when a driving magnetic field is in a particular range of direction.
Claims9
A magnetic bubble memory comprising:
- a bubble supporting layer made of a material capable of holding and propagating cylindrical magnetic bubble domains;
- a first bubble propagation track for propagating the magnetic bubble domains in accordance with a driving magnetic field rotating in a plane of said bubble supporting layer, said first bubble propagation track being formed with an ion-implanted pattern to a surface of said bubble supporting layer;
- and
- a second bubble propagation track connected to said first bubble propagation track for propagating the magnetic bubble domains in accordance with said driving magnetic field, said second bubble propagation track being formed with a plurality of soft magnetic members arranged on said bubble supporting layer;
- one of said soft magnetic members of said second bubble propagation track being overlapped on said first bubble propagation track at junction of said first and second bubble propagation tracks.
A magnetic bubble memory comprising:
- a bubble supporting layer made of a material capable of holding and propagating cylindrical magnetic bubble domains;
- a storage loop formed on said bubble supporting layer for circulating the magnetic bubble domains in accordance with a driving magnetic bubble domains in accordance with a driving magnetic field rotating in a plane of said bubble supporting layer;
- said storage loop including a first kind of bubble propagation track formed with an ion-implanted pattern to a surface of said bubble supporting layer and a second kind of bubble propagation track formed with soft magnetic elements arranged on said bubble supporting layer, connected to each other;
- a position of an attractive magnetic pole created in one of said soft magnetic elements coinciding with a position of an attractive charged wall appearing on said first kind of bubble propagation track at each of a first junction from said first kind of bubble propagation track to said second kind of bubble propagation track and a second junction from said second kind of bubble propagation track to said first kind of bubble propagation track when said driving magnetic field is directed in a particular range of direction.
