Patent ID: 11237240

Abstract:
A ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) measurement system is disclosed with a plurality of “m” RF probes and one or more magnetic assemblies to enable a perpendicular-to-plane or in-plane magnetic field (Hap) to be applied simultaneously with a sequence of microwave frequencies (fR) at a plurality of “m” test locations on a magnetic film formed on a whole wafer under test (WUT). A FMR condition occurs in the magnetic film (stack of unpatterned layers or patterned structure) for each pair of (Hap, fR) values. RF input signals are distributed to the RF probes using RF power distribution or routing devices. RF output signals are transmitted through or reflected from the magnetic film to a plurality of “n” RF diodes where 1≤n≤m, and converted to voltage signals which a controller uses to determine effective anisotropy field, linewidth, damping coefficient, and/or inhomogeneous broadening at the predetermined test locations.
