Soft magnetic film having a high magnetization, methof for manufacturing thereof and corresponding integrated circuit

摘要

The method involves nitriding ferromagnetic nanograins rich in iron immersed in an amorphous substrate (SB), and selectively oxidizing the substrate. The nitriding is effectuated by reactive cathodic or ionic sputtering under magnetic field in the presence of nitrogen. The oxidation is effectuated by reactive sputtering in the presence of oxygen. The oxidation and nitriding are carried out simultaneously. Independent claims are also included for the following: (A) a thin soft magnetic film having high magnetization and insulation; and (B) an integrated circuit comprising a component utilizing a membrane incorporating a film.
