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 18):
The method of  claim 13  wherein the step of providing the additional magnetic layer further includes:\n depositing the magnetic layer, the magnetic layer including a glass-promoting component and being amorphous as-deposited; \n providing a sacrificial layer on the magnetic layer, the sacrificial layer including a sink for the glass-promoting component; \n performing at least one anneal of the magnetic layer and the sacrificial layer at an anneal temperature greater than 300 degrees Celsius and not more than 475 degrees Celsius, the magnetic layer being at least partially crystallized after the at least one anneal; and \n removing the sacrificial layer after the step of performing the at least one anneal.
