Here we succeeded in fabricating a CoFeB/MgO-based magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) directly on an organic flexible substrate. As the annealing temperature increases, the tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR) ratio enhances and reaches up to ~200% at an annealing temperature of 450oC. The TMR ratio shows no change during and after a 1000-cycle application of a tensile strain larger than 1%. The magnetic anisotropy fields for the top and bottom CoFeB layers are linearly proportional to strain with almost the same rate as that in a single CoFeB film, suggesting that the expected strain is added on both CoFeB layers in the MTJ pillar from the stretched flexible substrate. The high TMR ratio and strain endurance demonstrated in this study show that the flexible MTJ structure is a promising candidate for a future wearable sensing device.
