A METHOD FOR FABRICATING A MAGNETIC SPIN VALVE DEVICE COMPRISING FERROMAGNETIC LAYERS WITH NON-COLLINEAR MAGNETIZATIONS
摘要:
A method (100) for fabricating a magnetic device comprises providing a layer stack (110), the layer stack comprising a substrate,
a first ferromagnetic layer disposed above the substrate, the first ferromagnetic layer comprising a uniaxial magnetic anisotropy including an easy axis,
a non-magnetic layer disposed on the first ferromagnetic layer,
a second ferromagnetic layer disposed on the non-magnetic layer, the second ferromagnetic layer comprising a unidirectional anisotropy, and
an antiferromagnetic layer disposed on the second ferromagnetic layer, the antiferromagnetic layer comprising a Neel temperature T N ;
heating the layer stack above the Neel temperature T N of the antiferromagnetic layer (120);
applying a magnetic field H CL to the layer stack, the magnetic field H CL comprising a magnetic field direction having an arbitrary angle with respect to the easy axis (130);
cooling the layer stack below the Neel temperature T N of the antiferromagnetic layer with the magnetic field H CL applied; removing the magnetic field H CL .
