    Abstract: A synthetic antiferromagnetic (SAF) structure for a spintronic device is disclosed and has an AP2/antiferromagnetic (AF) coupling/CoFeB configuration. The SAF structure is thinned to reduce the fringing (Ho) field while maintaining high coercivity. The AP2 reference layer has intrinsic perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) and induces PMA in a thin CoFeB layer through AF coupling. In one embodiment, AF coupling is improved by inserting a Co dusting layer on top and bottom surfaces of a Ru AF coupling layer. When AP2 is (Co/Ni)4, and CoFeB thickness is 7.5 Angstroms, Ho is reduced to 125 Oe, Hc is 1000 Oe, and a balanced saturation magnetization-thickness product (Mst)=0.99 is achieved. The SAF structure may also be represented as FL2/AF coupling/CoFeB where FL2 is a ferromagnetic layer with intrinsic PMA.

    Abstract: A magnetic element is disclosed wherein first and second interfaces of a free layer with a perpendicular Hk enhancing layer and tunnel barrier, respectively, produce enhanced surface perpendicular anisotropy to increase thermal stability in a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ). The free layer may be a single layer or a composite and is comprised of one or more glassing agents that have a first concentration in a middle portion thereof and a second concentration less than the first concentration in regions near first and second interfaces. As a result, a CoFeB free layer, for example, selectively crystallizes along first and second interfaces but maintains an amorphous character in a middle region containing a glass agent providing the annealing temperature is less than the crystallization temperature of the middle region. The magnetic element may be part of a spintronic device or serve as a propagation medium in a domain wall motion device.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein is an improved memory device, and related methods of manufacturing, wherein the area occupied by a conventional landing pad is significantly reduced to around 50% to 10% of the area occupied by conventional landing pads. This is accomplished by removing the landing pad from the cell structure, and instead forming a conductive via structure that provides the electrical connection from the memory stack or device in the structure to an under-metal layer. By forming only this via structure, rather than separate vias formed on either side of a landing pad, the overall width occupied by the connective via structure from the memory stack to an under-metal layer is substantially reduced, and thus the via structure and under-metal layer may be formed closer to the memory stack (or conductors associated with the stack) so as to reduce the overall width of the cell structure.
