Abstract

The invention provides a method for preparing a reference layer of a magnetic tunnel junction and a method for preparing a magnetic tunnel junction. The method for preparing a reference layer of a magnetic tunnel junction includes the steps of setting the films of a reference layer through a deposition process, carrying out plasma treatment on one or more of the films, and carrying out annealing treatment on the one or more of the films after the plasma treatment. As in-situ heat treatment is carried out on the one or more films after the plasma treatment through the annealing treatment, possible damage or defects caused by the plasma treatment can be reduced or eliminated, and the surface characteristic of the reference layer can be improved. Therefore, the comprehensive performance of amagnetic tunnel junction comprising the reference layer can be improved, for example, the TMR value of the magnetic tunnel junction can be improved, and the RA value can be reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of spin transfer torque magnetic random access memory (STT-MRAM), in particular to a method for preparing a reference layer of a magnetic tunnel junction and a method for preparing a magnetic tunnel junction. Background technique [0002] STT-MRAM is a potential and revolutionary general-purpose storage technology, which can directly use spin-polarized current to drive the magnetic moment reversal of nanomagnets to complete information writing. It integrates the high storage density of DRAM, the fast read and write capability of SRAM, the non-volatility, low power consumption and high stability of Flash. In addition, it has the advantage of unlimited use; compared with traditional MRAM, It has better scalability, lower write information current, especially, it is compatible with the most advanced semiconductor process. [0003] The core device in STT-MRAM is a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ), which mainly incl...
