Abstract:
A perpendicular magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) apparatus includes a tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR) enhancement buffer layer deposited between the tunnel barrier layer and the reference layers. An amorphous alloy spacer is deposited between the TMR enhancement buffer layer and the reference layers to enhance TMR. The amorphous alloy spacer blocks template effects of face centered cubic (fcc) oriented pinned layers and provides strong coupling between the pinned layers and the TMR enhancement buffer layer to ensure full perpendicular magnetization.
