A magnetoresistive device includes a free ferromagnetic layer; a pinned structure; and a spacer layer between the free layer and the pinned structure. The pinned structure may include first, second and third ferromagnetic layers that are ferromagnetically coupled. The first and third layers are separated by the second layer. The second layer has a lower magnetic moment than the first and third layers. In the alternative, the pinned structure may include a single layer of Co50Fe50.

摘要:
A coupled ferromagnetic structure includes a first ferromagnetic layer, a spacer layer on a first surface of the first ferromagnetic layer, and a second ferromagnetic layer on the spacer layer. Interlayer exchange coupling occurs between the first and second ferromagnetic layers. The coupling may be ferromagnetic or antiferromagnetic. Morphology of the first surface is modified to tailor the interlayer exchange coupling. The structure may form a part of a magnetoresistive device such as a magnetic tunnel junction.
