Multilayer film structure with high tunneling magneto-resistance ratio and the manufacturing method of the same

摘要

This specification disclosed a multilayer film structure of a tunneling magneto-resistor and the manufacturing of the same, the structure being able to increase the tunneling magneto-resistance (TMR) ratio and to decrease the difficulty in manufacturing. The multilayer film structure disclosed herein forms, in a three-layer film structure composed of two layers of ferromagnetic films and an insulating layer provided in between, a layer of moderately thick ferromagnetic metal insertion between one of the ferromagnetic film and the insulating layer. Through the insertion the tunneling magneto-resistance ratio can be greatly increased and the thickness of the insulating layer is increased to the range where the manufacturing difficulty is lowered.
