20130171743 | MAGNETIC DEVICE AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME - A magnetic device and a method of manufacturing the same. In the method, a lower magnetic layer, an insulation layer, and an upper magnetic layer are sequentially formed on a substrate. An upper magnetic layer pattern is formed by patterning the upper magnetic layer until an upper surface of the insulation layer is exposed. An isolation layer pattern is formed from portions of the insulation layer and the lower magnetic layer by performing an oxidation process on the exposed upper surface of the insulation layer, and an insulation layer pattern and a lower magnetic layer pattern are formed from portions of the insulation layer and the lower magnetic layer, where the isolation layer pattern is not formed. | 07-04-2013 |
20130307102 | Magnetic devices having perpendicular magnetic tunnel junction - Provided are magnetic memory devices with a perpendicular magnetic tunnel junction. The device includes a magnetic tunnel junction including a free layer structure, a pinned layer structure, and a tunnel barrier therebetween. The pinned layer structure may include a first magnetic layer having an intrinsic perpendicular magnetization property, a second magnetic layer having an intrinsic in-plane magnetization property, and an exchange coupling layer interposed between the first and second magnetic layers. The exchange coupling layer may have a thickness maximizing an antiferromagnetic exchange coupling between the first and second magnetic layers, and the second magnetic layer may exhibit a perpendicular magnetization direction, due at least in part to the antiferromagnetic exchange coupling with the first magnetic layer. | 11-21-2013 |
20140061828 | MAGNETIC MEMORY DEVICES - A magnetic memory device according to embodiments includes a first reference magnetic layer on a substrate, a second reference magnetic layer on the first reference magnetic layer, a free layer between the first reference magnetic layer and the second reference magnetic layer, a first tunnel barrier layer between the first reference magnetic layer and the free layer, and a second tunnel barrier layer between the second reference magnetic layer and the free layer. The first reference magnetic, second reference magnetic and free layers each have a magnetization direction substantially perpendicular to a top surface of the substrate. A resistance-area product (RA) value of the first tunnel barrier layer is greater than that of the second tunnel barrier layer. | 03-06-2014 |
