SEED LAYER AND FREE MAGNETIC LAYER FOR PERPENDICULAR ANISOTROPY IN A SPIN-TORQUE MAGNETIC RANDOM ACCESS MEMORY

摘要

A magnetic layer that includes a seed layer comprising at least tantalum and a free magnetic layer comprising at least iron. The free magnetic layer is grown on top of the seed layer and the free magnetic layer is perpendicularly magnetized. The magnetic layer may be included in a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) stack.
