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 stable magnetic states when a write current is passed through the magnetic junction. At least one of the steps of providing the free layer and providing the pinned layer includes providing magnetic and sacrificial layers and performing two anneals of the sacrificial and magnetic layers. The magnetic layer includes a glass-promoting component and is amorphous as-deposited. The first anneal is at a first temperature exceeding 300 degrees Celsius and not exceeding 450 degrees Celsius. The second anneal is at a second temperature greater than the first temperature and performed after the first anneal. The sacrificial layer is removed.

Abstract: A method for providing a magnetic junction usable in a magnetic device and a magnetic junction are described. A reference layer, a crystalline MgO tunneling barrier layer and a free layer are provided. The crystalline MgO tunneling barrier layer is continuous, has a (001) orientation and has a thickness of not more than eleven Angstroms and not less than two Angstroms. The crystalline MgO tunneling barrier layer is between the free layer and the reference layer. The magnetic junction is configured such that the free layer is switchable between stable magnetic states when a write current is passed through the magnetic junction.

Abstract: A method provides a magnetic junction having a top and sides. A first magnetic layer, a nonmagnetic spacer layer and a second magnetic layer are deposited. The nonmagnetic spacer layer is between the first and second magnetic layers. A free layer is one of the magnetic layers. A reference layer is the other of the magnetic layers. The second magnetic layer includes an amorphous magnetic layer having nonmagnetic constituent(s) that are glass-forming. An anneal is performed in a gas having an affinity for the nonmagnetic constituent(s). The gas includes at least one of first and second gases. The first gas forms a gaseous compound with the nonmagnetic constituent(s) The second gas forms a solid compound with the nonmagnetic constituent(s). The second gas is usable if the anneal is performed after the magnetic junction has been defined. The solid compound is at least on the sides of the magnetic junction.
