    Abstract: A magnetic device includes a seed pattern, a reference magnetic structure on the seed pattern, a free magnetic pattern on the reference magnetic structure, and a tunnel barrier between the reference magnetic structure and the free magnetic pattern. The reference magnetic structure includes a synthetic antiferromagnetic (SAF) structure including a first fixed pattern in contact with an upper surface of the seed pattern, an antiferromagnetic coupling pattern in contact with an upper surface of the first fixed pattern, and a second fixed pattern in contact with an upper surface of the antiferromagnetic coupling pattern; a nonmagnetic pattern in contact with an upper surface of the second fixed pattern; and a polarization reinforcement magnetic pattern in contact with an upper surface of the nonmagnetic pattern.

    Abstract: A magnetic memory device includes a reference magnetic structure, a free magnetic structure, and a tunnel barrier pattern between the reference magnetic structure and the free magnetic structure. The reference magnetic structure includes a first pinned pattern, a second pinned pattern between the first pinned pattern and the tunnel barrier pattern, and an exchange coupling pattern between the first and the second pinned pattern. The second pinned pattern includes a first magnetic pattern adjacent the exchange coupling pattern, a second magnetic pattern adjacent the tunnel barrier pattern, a third magnetic pattern between the first and the second magnetic pattern, a first non-magnetic pattern between the first and the third magnetic pattern, and a second non-magnetic pattern between the second and the third magnetic pattern. The first non-magnetic pattern has a different crystal structure from the second non-magnetic pattern, and at least a portion of the third magnetic pattern is amorphous.

    Abstract: A magnetic memory device including a magnetic tunnel junction is provided. The magnetic tunnel junction includes a fixed layer, a polarization enhancement structure on the fixed layer, a tunnel barrier layer on the polarization enhancement structure, and a free layer on the tunnel barrier layer, wherein the polarization enhancement structure includes a plurality of polarization enhancement layers and at least one spacer layer which separates the plurality of polarization enhancement layers from each other. A thickness of each of the plurality of polarization enhancement layers is from 5 Å to about 20 Å, and a thickness of the at least one spacer layer is from about 2 Å to about 15 Å.

    Abstract: In a method of manufacturing a magnetoresistive random access memory, a memory structure may be formed on a substrate. The memory structure may include a lower electrode, a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) structure, and an upper electrode sequentially stacked. A protection layer including silicon nitride may be formed to cover a surface of the memory structure. The protection layer may be formed by a chemical vapor deposition process using plasma and introducing deposition gases including a silicon source gas, a nitrogen source gas containing no hydrogen and a dissociation gas. Damages of the MTJ structure may be decreased during forming the protection layer. Thus, the MRAM may have improved characteristics.
