Magnetic tunnel junction device and method of making same |
摘要 |
A magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) device includes a reference layer having a surface, a tunnel insulating layer formed over the surface of the reference layer, a free layer formed over the tunnel insulating layer, and a magnetic field providing layer formed over the free layer. A magnetization direction in each of the reference layer and the free layer is substantially perpendicular to the surface. The magnetic field providing layer is configured to provide a lateral magnetic field in the free layer, the lateral magnetic field being substantially parallel to the surface. |

1. A magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) device, comprising:
a reference layer having a surface; a tunnel insulating layer formed over the surface of the reference layer; a free layer formed over the tunnel insulating layer, a magnetization direction in each of the reference layer and the free layer being substantially perpendicular to the surface; and a magnetic field providing layer formed over the free layer, configured to provide a lateral magnetic field in the free layer, the lateral magnetic field being substantially parallel to the surface, and the magnetic field providing layer including:
an isolation spacer layer formed over the free layer:a ferromagnetic layer formed over the isolation spacer layer, a magnetization direction in the ferromagnetic layer being substantially parallel to the surface; andan antiferromagnetic layer formed between the isolation spacer layer and the ferromagnetic layer. |
