英文摘要 | Metal oxides are used in magnetic tunnel junctions to improve the magnetic properties and thermostability of materials in high-performance applications. in this study, an ultrathin hf film is deposited on a ta buffer layer. moreover, subsequent annealing at 350 degrees c leads to the oxidation of hf into hfo2, as confirmed by x-ray photoelectron spectrometry (xps). the effect of hfo2 on magnetic anisotropy is evaluated in ta/hf/cofeb/mgo/ta multilayer films. easy-axis magnetisation transition from in-plane to out-of-plane direction is observed at an annealing temperature of 200 degrees c. moreover, the sample annealed at a temperature of 350 degrees c exhibits clear perpendicular magnetic anisotropy, which satisfies industry requirements in terms of annealing temperature for magnetic random access memory applications. xps, positron annihilation spectroscopy (pas), x-ray reflectivity (xrr) and atomic force microscopy (afm) are used to study film composition, defects, interface width and surface roughness in ta/hf/cofeb/mgo/ta multilayers. xps results demonstrate partial suppression of ta atom diffusion and enhanced formation of fe (co) oxides in cofeb/mgo. the results of pas analysis suggest that the density of film defects decreases after annealing at 350 degrees c. xrr and afm results reveal that annealing at 350 degrees c produces a smoother cofeb/mgo interface. together, these factors lead to improved magnetic properties and thermostability in a ta/hf/cofeb/mgo/ta film.
