Method for providing a perpendicular magnetic anisotropy magnetic junction usable in spin transfer torque magnetic devices using a sacrificial insertion layer
Abstract:
A method for providing a magnetic junction usable in a magnetic device and the magnetic junction are described. The method includes providing a free layer, a pinned layer and a nonmagnetic spacer layer between the free layer and the pinned layer. The free layer is switchable between a plurality of stable magnetic states when a write current is passed through the magnetic junction. At least one of the step of providing the free layer includes a first plurality of steps and the step of providing the pinned layer includes a second plurality of steps. The first and second plurality of steps include depositing a portion of a layer, depositing a sacrificial layer, annealing the portion of the magnetic junction under the sacrificial layer, and depositing a remaining portion of the layer. The layer may be the free layer, the pinned layer, or both.
