摘要
Miniature fluxgate magnetic sensors have been micro-fabricated using thin film planar technology on glass substrates. The 1000 x 200 mu m sensors comprise a copper multilayer solenoid winding with a thin amorphous cobalt alloy core deposited by RF magnetron sputtering. The bandwidth and sensitivity of a closed-loop sensor system using these novel devices is 0-2.5MHz and 5000V/T, respectively, with a spectral noise density of 2nT/root Hz at 10kHz.
