Magnetic tunnel junction with electronically reflective insulative spacer |
摘要 |
Magnetic tunnel junctions having a specular insulative spacer are disclosed. The magnetic tunnel junction includes a free magnetic layer, a reference magnetic layer, an electrically insulating and non-magnetic tunneling barrier layer separating the free magnetic layer from the reference magnetic layer, and an electrically insulating and electronically reflective layer positioned to reflect at least a portion of electrons back into the free magnetic layer. |

1. A magnetic tunnel junction, comprising:
a free magnetic layer; a reference magnetic layer; an electrically insulating and non-magnetic tunneling barrier layer separating the free magnetic layer from the reference magnetic layer; and an electrically insulating and electronically reflective layer positioned to reflect at least a portion of electrons back into the free magnetic layer, and the electrically insulating and electronically reflective layer has a non-uniform thickness defining peaks and valleys and a plurality of distinct and different thickness values. |
