Abstract:
A magnetic device and method for providing the magnetic device are described. The magnetic device includes magnetic junctions and spin-orbit interaction (SO) active layer(s). Each magnetic junction includes free and pinned layers separated by a nonmagnetic spacer layer. The pinned layer has a perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) energy greater than an out-of-plane demagnetization energy. The pinned layer includes a magnetic barrier layer between a magnetic layer and a high PMA layer including at least one nonmagnetic component. The magnetic barrier layer includes Co and at least one of Ta, W and Mo. The magnetic barrier layer is for blocking diffusion of the nonmagnetic component. The SO active layer(s) are adjacent to the free layer. The SO active layer(s) carry a current in-plane and exert a SO torque on the free layer due to the current. The free layer is switchable between stable magnetic states using the SO torque.

Claim (Index 19):
The method of  claim 18  wherein the step of providing the additional magnetic layer further includes:\n depositing a sacrificial oxide layer on the magnetic layer before the step of depositing the sacrificial layer, the sacrificial oxide layer adjoining the magnetic layer and the sacrificial layer and wherein the step of removing the sacrificial layer further includes removing the sacrificial oxide layer.
