Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a magnetic tunnel junction suitable for deviceization, in particular to a magnetic tunnel junction with a new potential barrier layer and its application in devices. Background technique [0002] Since Julliére discovered the Tunnel Magnetoresistance (TMR) effect in Fe / Ge / Co sandwich composite multilayer films in 1975, people have studied a series of FM / I(S) / FM composite multilayer films (magnetic Materials / insulators or semiconductors / magnetic materials) have been extensively and systematically studied. In this type of FM / I(S) / FM composite multilayer film, FM represents a ferromagnetic metal or semi-metal layer, and I(S) represents an insulator (or semiconductor) barrier layer. Studies have found that this kind of composite multilayer film has the characteristics of low saturation magnetic field and small coercive force, and can be applied to magnetic sensors, magnetic random access memory (MRAM) memory cells and other spintr...
