Current induced switching in MgO-based MTJs with applied bias fields
- 1. Bielefeld University (Germany)
Description
The spin-torque effect in magnetic tunnel junctions can be used in future MRAM applications to minimize the size of the memory cell. To provide high read and write performance of such an MRAM modul the switching behaviour of the free layer in the magnetic tunnel junction must be well understood. We prepared sub-μm-sized MTJs based on CoFeB/MgO/CoFeB by e-beam lithography and argon ion beam etching. The dependence of critical current density for switching the free layer on the applied bias field was investigated
