Abstract: Devices are described that include a multi-layered structure that comprises three layers. The first layer is a magnetic Heusler compound, the second layer (acting as a spacer layer) is non-magnetic at room temperature and comprises alternating layers of Ru and at least one other element E (preferably Al; or Ga or Al alloyed with Ga, Ge, Sn or combinations thereof), and the third layer is also a magnetic Heusler compound. The composition of the second layer is represented by Ru1−xEx, with x being in the range from 0.45 to 0.55. An MRAM element may be constructed by forming, in turn, a substrate, the multi-layered structure, a tunnel barrier, and an additional magnetic layer (whose magnetic moment is switchable).

Abstract: Example embodiments relate to a magnetic memory device that includes a magnetic tunnel junction layer including a first magnetic layer, a second magnetic layer, and a first tunnel barrier layer between the first and second magnetic layers. The second magnetic layer is disposed on the first tunnel barrier layer and is in direct contact with the first tunnel barrier layer. The second magnetic layer includes cobalt-iron-beryllium (CoFeBe). A beryllium content of CoFeBe in the second magnetic layer ranges from about 2 at % to about 10 at %.

Abstract: A device is disclosed. The device includes a first magnetic layer and a tunnel barrier. The first magnetic layer has a volume uniaxial magnetic crystalline anisotropy. The magnetic moment of the first layer is substantially perpendicular to the first layer. The tunnel barrier is in proximity to the first magnetic layer. The orientation of the magnetic moment of the first magnetic layer is reversed by spin transfer torque induced by current passing between and through the first magnetic layer and the tunnel barrier.

Abstract: Devices are described that include a multi-layered structure that is non-magnetic at room temperature, and which comprises alternating layers of Co and at least one other element E (that is preferably Al; or Al alloyed with Ga, Ge, Sn or combinations thereof). The composition of this structure is represented by Co1-xEx, with x being in the range from 0.45 to 0.55. The structure is in contact with a first magnetic layer that includes a Heusler compound. An MRAM element may be formed by overlying, in turn, the first magnetic layer with a tunnel barrier, and the tunnel barrier with a second magnetic layer (whose magnetic moment is switchable). Improved performance of the MRAM element may be obtained by placing an optional pinning layer between the first magnetic layer and the tunnel barrier.

Abstract: A magnetic memory device includes a first magnetic structure on a substrate, a second magnetic structure between the substrate and the first magnetic structure, and a tunnel barrier between the first and second magnetic structures. At least one of the first and second magnetic structures includes a perpendicular magnetic layer on the tunnel barrier, and a polarization enhancement layer interposed between the tunnel barrier and the perpendicular magnetic layer. Here, the polarization enhancement layer contains cobalt, iron, and at least one of the elements of Group IV, and the polarization enhancement layer has a magnetization direction perpendicular to or substantially perpendicular to a top surface of the substrate.

Abstract: Materials are disclosed that are used as seed layers in the formation of MRAM elements. In particular, a MnN layer oriented in the (001) direction is grown over a substrate. A magnetic layer overlying and in contact with the MnN layer forms part of a magnetic tunnel junction, in which the magnetic layer includes a Heusler compound that includes Mn. The magnetic tunnel junction includes the magnetic layer, a tunnel barrier overlying the magnetic layer, and a first (magnetic) electrode overlying the tunnel barrier. A second electrode is in contact with the MnN layer.
