摘要 |
The magnetic tunnel junction device of the present invention includes a first ferromagnetic layer, a second ferromagnetic layer, an insulating layer formed between the first ferromagnetic layer and the second ferromagnetic layer. The insulating layer is composed of fluorine-added MgO. The fluorine content in the insulating layer is 0.00487 at. % or more and 0.15080 at. % or less. This device, although it includes a MgO insulating layer, exhibits superior magnetoresistance properties to conventional devices including MgO insulating layers. The fluorine content is preferably 0.00487 at. % or more and 0.05256 at. % or less.
