▲ [17a-501-3] Effects of nitride and fluoride introduction on perpendicular anisotropy at CoFeB/Oxides interfaces
キーワード:PMA, CoFeB, Fluoride
In this study we introduce dielectric materials consisting of anions with different electronegativity: fluoride and nitride to the CoFeB/oxide interface, to investigate the possibility of manipulation of interface anisotropy energy Kint. As the result, the insertion of both 0.5-nm-thick MgF2 for the CoFeB/MgO stack and 0.5-nm-thick AlF3 for the Al2O3/MgO stack bring around 50% increase of Kint in our experimental conditions, while the insertion of AlN at CoFeB/ Al2O3 decrease the Kint. Thus we can surmise that higher electronegativity anion introduction at the CoFeB/Oxides interface is beneficial for the enhancement of Kint, even though the maximum value of Kint achieved in this study was not so high as the reported value for MgO/CoFeB.
