摘要： An MTJ (magnetic tunneling junction) MRAM (magnetic random access memory) cell is formed on a conducting lead and magnetic keeper layer that is capped by a sputter-etched Ta layer. The Ta capping layer has a smooth surface as a result of the sputter-etching and that smooth surface promotes the subsequent formation of a lower electrode (pinning/pinned layer) with smooth, flat layers and a radical oxidized (ROX) Al tunneling barrier layer which is ultra-thin, smooth, and to has a high breakdown voltage. A seed layer of NiCr is formed on the sputter-etched capping layer of Ta. The resulting device has generally improved performance characteristics in terms of its switching characteristics, GMR ratio and junction resistance.

摘要： A method of forming a high performance MTJ in an MRAM array is disclosed. A Ta/Ru capping layer in a bottom conductor is sputter etched to remove the Ru layer and form an amorphous Ta capping layer. A key feature is a subsequent surface treatment of the Ta capping layer in a transient vacuum chamber where a self-annealing occurs and a surfactant layer is formed on the Ta surface. The resulting smooth and flat Ta surface promotes a smooth and flat surface in the MTJ layers which are subsequently formed on the surfactant layer. For a 0.3×0.6 micron MTJ bit size, a 35 to 40 Angstrom thick NiFe(18%) free layer, an AlOx barrier layer generated from a ROX oxidation of an 9 to 10 Angstrom thick Al layer, and a Ru/Ta/Ru capping layer are employed to give a dR/R of >40% and an RA of about 4000 ohm-μm2.

摘要： A method for forming top and bottom spin valve sensors and the sensors so formed, the sensors having a strongly coupled SyAP pinned layer and an ultra-thin antiferromagnetic pinning layer. The two strongly coupled ferromagnetic layers comprising the SyAP pinned layer in the top valve configuration are separated by a Ru spacer layer approximately 3 angstroms thick, while the two layers in the bottom spin valve configuration are separated by a Rh spacer layer approximately 5 angstroms thick. This allows the use of an ultra thin MnPt antiferromagnetic pinning layer of thickness between approximately 80 and approximately 150 angstroms. The sensor structure produced thereby is suitable for high density applications.

摘要： A lead structure for use with a magneto-resistive sensing element in a magnetic disk system is described. The lead structure comprises a layer of ruthenium or rhodium sandwiched between layers of a nickel-chromium alloy. The lower nickel-chromium layer acts as a seed layer to ensure that the ruthenium and rhodium layers have crystal structures that correspond to low resistivity phases. The interfaces between these three layers introduce a minimum of interfacial scattering of the conduction electrons thereby keeping dimensional increases in resistivity to a minimum.

摘要： A spin-valve magnetoresistive read element has a thin conductive lead layer of high sheet conductivity, high hardness, high melting point, high corrosion resistance and lacking the propensity for smearing, oozing, electromigration and nodule formation. Said lead layer is formed upon the hard magnetic longitudinal bias layer of an abutted junction spin-valve type magnetoresistive read head and said read head is therefore suitable for reading high density recorded disks at high RPM.
