摘要：

In this study, the effects of annealing conditions on the magnetic characteristics of multilayered perpendicular magnetic tunnel junctions (pMTJ) of the structures SiNx/Pt/(Co/Pd)(10)/MgO/(Co/Pt)(5)/Pt with various MgO barrier thicknesses were explored. We found that both the fixed and free layers exhibit coercivity growth with increasing annealing temperature. Insertion of a 0.4 nm Mg layer under the MgO barrier layer increases the corecivities further. Magnetoresistance measured by the current-in-plane tunneling (CIPT) method reveals that the insertion of Mg layers on both side of the MgO layer can increase the MR ratio by up to 32%.
