Повний текст джерелаOne of the dilemmas faced by the present STT-MRAM technology is the reduction of the power consumption and increase of data access speed without jeopardizing the data retention. A possible solution lies on the double barrier magnetic tunnel junction (DBMTJ) where the amplitude of the spin transfer torque (STT) on the storage layer can be tuned through a proper magnetic configuration of the outer electrodes. Thus providing more reliable read/write operation modes for MRAM. Despite the reduction in half of the switching current, previous studies on DBMTJs with in-plane magnetization report undesired switchings in read mode associated with field-like torque. In this thesis, we further investigate the complex interplay between damping-like and field-like torques in these double barrierstructures. Measurements using DC current and short voltage pulses in DBMTJ with symmetric and asymmetric barriers have revealed a strong presence of the field-like torque both in write and read modes. Moreover, in DBMTJs with symmetric barriers set in read mode, we demonstrate pure field-like torque switching which is proportional to a quadratic voltage and adjusted by a b2 prefactor. Furthermore, this torque favors a antiparallel alignment between the storage layer magnetization and the two references’ magnetizations. The results obtained experimentally were in agreement with macrospin simulation performed with a proper tuning of the damping-like and field-like torque prefactors. In order to suppress the field-like torque and aiming for a further reduction of the writing currents and enhancedscalability of MTJs, we developed and realized DBMTJs with perpendicular anisotropy (p-DBMTJs). Novel seedless multilayers with improved perpendicular magnetic anisotropy to be used as top reference were designed and implemented in functional p-DBMTJs. The optimized p-DBMTJs were patterned into sub-300nm nanopillars and the spin transfer torque studied experimentally in write and read modes.The use of W instead of Ta as a spacer in the FeCoB/spacer/FeCoB composite storage layer showed a 3x improvement of STT efficiency. In write mode, p-DBMTJs have also demonstrated a considerable enhancement of STT efficiency when compared to single barrier p-MTJs. In read mode, switching has been prevented at the center of the bistable region but its thermal stability degraded with high voltage. Among several proposed explanations of this phenomenon, the reduction of the saturation magnetization and effective anisotropy with increasing temperature has been supported by macrospin simulations as the most probable one

Повний текст джерелаMagnetic tunnel junctions are promising candidates for computing applications. But when they are reduced to nanoscale dimensions, maintaining their stability becomes an issue. Unstable magnetic tunnel junctions undergo random switches of the magnetization between their two stable states and thus behave as stochastic oscillators. However, the stochastic nature of these superparamagnetic tunnel junctions is not a liability but an asset which can be used for the implementation of bio-inspired computing schemes. Indeed, our brain has evolved to function in a noisy environment and with unstable components. In this thesis, we show several possible applications of superparamagnetic tunnel junctions.We demonstrate how a superparamagnetic tunnel junction can be frequency and phase-locked to a weak oscillating voltage. Counterintuitively, our experiment shows that this is achieved by injecting noise in the system. We develop a theoretical model to understand this phenomenon and predict that it allows a hundred-fold energy gain over the synchronization of traditional dc-driven spin torque oscillators. Furthermore, we leverage our model to study the synchronization of several coupled junctions. Many theoretical schemes using the synchronization of oscillators to perform cognitive tasks such as pattern recognition and classification have been proposed. Using the noise-induced synchronization of superparamagnetic tunnel junctions would allow implementing these tasks at low energy.We draw an analogy between superparamagnetic tunnel junctions and sensory neurons which fire voltage pulses with random time intervals. Pushing this analogy, we demonstrate that populations of junctions can represent probability distributions and perform Bayesian inference. Furthermore, we demonstrate that interconnected populations can perform computing tasks such as learning, coordinate transformations and sensory fusion. Such a system is realistically implementable and could allow for intelligent sensory processing at low energy cost

Повний текст джерелаThe first aim of the thesis is to study the feasibility of a new process for nanopatterning of sub-30nm diameter tunnel junctions recently patented by Spintec and LTM and to test the properties of tunnel junctions obtained, from the point of view of magnetic and electrical properties. Particular attention will be paid on the characterization of defects generated at the pillar edges when patterning the tunnel junctions and the impact of these defects on the magnetic and transport properties. Another part of the thesis is focused on improving the magnetic and transport MTJ stacks with higher thermal budget tolerance. As a part of this, new materials (W, etc) were used as cap layer or as a spacer layer in composite free layer of pMTJ stacks. Moreover, different magnetic materials combined with different non-magnetic spacer have been investigated to improve the thermal stability factor of the composite storage layers. Detailed structural characterizations were performed to demonstrate the improvements in magnetic and electrical properties. A new RKKY coupling layer was found which allowed to obtain an extremely thin pMTJ stack by reducing the SAF layer thickness to 3.8nm. Seed lees multilayers with enhanced PMA is necesssary to realize a top-pinned pMTJ stack which is necessary to configure a spin-orbit torque MRAM (SOT-MRAM)stack and double magnetic tunnel junction stacks (DMTJs). A new seed less multilyar with enhanced PMA and subsequently advanced stacks such as conventional-DMTJ, thin-DMT, SOT-MRAM stacks, Multibit memory were realized. Finally, electrical properties patterned memory devices were also studied to correlate with the magnetic properties of thin films

Повний текст джерелаMagnetic tunnel junctions based magnetic field sensors are one of the most promising solutions in the framework of electronic components miniaturization. Crocus Technology, the industrial stakeholder of this thesis, has been designing some of the market smallest TMR sensors for several years. Despite their good sensitivity, they exhibit a large 1/f noise, deteriorating their capability to detect low magnetic fields. This thesis falls within a context of noise reduction and detection improvement of the sensors. In-depth noise studies of existing sensors have been performed in order to better apprehend the origins of such noise. These studies have been carried out thanks to a specifically designed experimental bench allowing simultaneous noise and magneto-electrical characterizations of the devices. Thereby, we have been able to link the observed noise to the response of the sensors under specific magnetic field conditions by developing an illustrative model based on “magnetic-to-noise fingerprint of the sensors”. This thesis was further completed by a 6-sigma project, led by the author, which allowed us to implement the needful solutions to answer an ambitious objective of noise reduction. The detectivity has been improved by nearly two orders of magnitude, thus reaching 13 nT/√Hz at 10 Hz in a few months, without deteriorating the integrability of the sensors while satisfying industrial constraints

Повний текст джерелаA memristor is a variable non-volatile nanoresistance which value depends on the quantity of charges that have flown through. This device is very promising as a multi-level binary memory but also as an artificial synapse for brain-inspired computing architecture. During this thesis, we have studied two new concepts of memristor based on purely electronic effects. The first concept, the spintronic memristor, is based on a magnetic tunnel junction in which a domain wall is created. The resistance of the junction depends on the position of the domain wall. The resistance variations are obtained by displacement of the domain wall induced by spin transfer effect. The second concept, the ferroelectric memristor, is based on a tunnel junction with a ferroelectric barrier. The resistance of such a junction depends on the orientation of the polarization. We show that those junctions exhibit good performances as a binary memory element. The memristive behaviour is obtained by a gradual switching of the polarization. The experimental results bring a proof of those concepts. Unlike other memristors based on mechanisms such as electromigration or phase change, our two concepts based on purely electronic effect are expected to be faster and more reliable

This experimental work has led to non short-circuited and measurable junctions, in which an electronic tunnel transport has been demonstrated.Interesting and new results have been found out from magnetoresistance measurement of the samples: junctions made with alkanes-thiols barrier have shown magnetoresistance signal at room temperature (up to 12%). In order to explain the magnetoresistive behaviour, a simple model where the barrier is discribed by two levels has been proposed.The last part of the thesis reports preliminary results obtained when the barrier is made of aromatic molecules or switchable molecules and it points out new phenomenons compared to the alkanes case.The overall work proves that devices made from magnetic tunnel junctions with self-assembled monolayers work at room temperature. It is then possible to consider switchable molecules to build multifunctional molecular spintronics devices

Повний текст джерелаThe recent observation of current-induced magnetization switching (CIMS) in magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) has opened new possibilities of applications for spin electronics, especially with magnetic memories (MRAM). This achievement demands the accurate control of the barrier oxidation in order to obtain MTJs with good magnetic and electronic properties. Moreover, spin transfer torque is expected to show different characteristics in MTJ compared to metallic spin valves. In a first step, an experimental study of the influence of oxygen on the magnetic properties of a Pt/Co/MOx trilayers (MOx is an oxidized metal) is presented. These modifications may be used as a probe of the oxidation state of the tunnel barrier. In a second step, we study the specific properties of spin transfer torque in a MTJ. These properties are first described within a free electron model and then estimated experimentally in MgO-based MTJ through the measurement of static phase diagrams

Повний текст джерелаIn order to increase the storage density of magnetoresistive random access memories (MRAM), magnetic materials with perpendicular anisotropy are very appealing thanks to high anisotropy. However, the enhancement of anisotropy induces an increase of writing consumption as well. A new thermally assisted switching concept has been proposed by SPINTEC laboratory. The principle is to design a highly stable structure at stand-by temperature which loses its anisotropy when heated, making thus the switching easier. The aim of this thesis is to validate experimentally this concept. The first chapters describe the optimisation of out-of-plane magnetic materials such as (Co/Pt), (Co/Pd) and (Co/Tb) multilayers. Their integration in magnetic tunnel junctions is then presented. The evolution of anisotropy with temperature is a critical parameter for thermally assisted writing and has been therefore studied. Finally, the efficiency of this thermally assisted writing is demonstrated: the developed structures present a reduced consumption compared to standard structures and high stability at room temperature

Повний текст джерелаSince a few years, magnetic memories have been extensively studied in order to compete with already existing Random Access Memories such as DRAM. In this context, double barrier magnetic tunnel junctions may have significant assets in terms of reading speed and electrical consumption. In fact, we demonstrated that spin transfer torque is enhanced when polarizers magnetizations are antiparallel, thus yielding a decrease of the writing current. On the contrary, when polarizers are parallel, spin transfer torque is drastically shrinked, thus allowing fast reading of the storage layer state at a voltage as large as the writing voltage. Moreover, we proposed an analysis method to characterize both tunnel barriers by full-sheet electrical measurements, leading to considerable gain of time in material developpement

Повний текст джерелаThe magnetic random access memories (MRAM) are on the way to supplant the other forms of random access memories using the states of electric charge, and this thanks to their many technical advantages: not-volatility, speed, low consumption power, robustness. Also, the MRAM are alleged insensitive with the ionizing radiations, which was not checked in experiments until now. The current architecture of the MRAM is based on the use of magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJ). These MRAM can present an important disadvantage, because they are likely of present errors of addressing, in particular when integration (density of memory cells) is increasingly thorough. The work undertaken during this thesis relates to these two points: - to check the functional reliability of the MRAM containing JTM exposed to high energy ionizing radiations ; - to study a ferrimagnetic amorphous alloy, GdCo, likely to enter the composition of JTM and allowing to free from the possible errors of addressing by a process of thermal inhibition of the memory cells. This work of thesis showed that the MRAM containing JTM preserve their functional properties fully when they are subjected to intense ionizing radiations, and that GdCo is a very interesting material from the point of view of the solid state physics and magnetism, that its physical properties are very promising as for its applications, and that its integration in a JTM still claims technological developments

Повний текст джерелаThe topic of this study is the magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJ) based on MgO, which are the basic units of non-volatile memory MRAM. The first part provides a general introduction. The phenomenon of resistance switching is first described. The different origins of resistance switching are discussed. The second part deals with the synthesis of the samples. The different steps of the sample fabrication are presented along with the difficulties encountered and proposed solutions. The third section deals with three epitaxial samples : Fe/Cr/MgO/Fe, Fe/V/MgO/Fe and Fe/MgO/Cr/MgO/Fe. Standard samples have a magnetoresistance of 120% indicating a good quality of prepared samples. As soon as layers of Cr or V are introduced, a significant and reproducible resistance switching effect is observed. A statistical model of electron trapping in the MgO barrier explains these phenomena. Finally, we studied an exotic fully epitaxial double barrier systems Fe/MgO/Cr/MgO/Fe. Electron microscopy and electrical transport measurements indicate that the Cr layer forms separated clusters. Therefore, behaviour of the clusters is superparamagnetic rather than antiferromagnetic

Повний текст джерелаThis thesis prepared in LPMC at INSA Toulouse is done in the framework of the active research field of spin electronic. Magnetic tunnel junctions with high TMR signal are competitive components for read heads or MRAM. Many objectives have been touched in this work. We have combined sputtering and shadow mask or lithography technology to fabricate or samples and their characterization was done using transport and magneto-transport measurements, MOKE magnetometry, Kerr microscopy and HREM studies. The key point to achieve electrical transport by tunnelling effect is the control of the barrier fabrication, we made Al2O3, MgO, NiO barriers or a combination of these materials, using natural oxidation. The thickness of the thin and continuous barriers is between 10 and 20 Å. The study of exchange coupling between the antiferromagnetic material NiO and the ferromagnetic material Co and the consideration of the influence of the fabrication conditions of the thin films leaded to control the uniaxial and unidirectional anisotropies in the bilayers NiO/Co used as hard electrode in the tunnel junction. We have determinate convenient thickness for a good compromise between remnant magnetization and coercive field. So a perfect antiparallel configuration can be obtained, the soft electrode being a film of Co of 100 Å thickness. These fundamental studies permitted to fabricate NiO/Co/Al2O3/Co magnetic tunnel junctions on float glass substrates. Their TMR response is perfectly controlled and can touched more than 20% at room temperature, this corresponds almost to the maximum possible with Co electrode if we refer to the 33% spin polarisation of cobalt. We also propose a simple and realistic model describing TMR mechanism, this model is based on the on the first experiment (Stern and Gerlach) proving the quantification of the electron intrinsic momentum

Повний текст джерелаMagnetic field sensors based on magnetic tunnel junctions are a promising solution in the development of miniature low power devices. The performances of these sensors are highly dependent on the free layer dimensions and thus it’s magnetic state (macrospin/vortex). Crocus Technology, the industrial stakeholder of this thesis, has been designing some of the smallest TMR sensors for several years. Sensors at macrospin state, despite their good sensitivity, have a high noise level strongly degrading their ability to detect low magnetic fields, and an undesired hysteresis. This thesis takes place in this context of improving detectivity and reducing hysteresis. It focuses on the study of TMR sensors with a free layer at vortex state to take advantage of the low noise and reduced hysteresis expected for this magnetic state. The objective is to improve the performances of these TMR sensors by studying different dot shapes and magnetic stacks via micromagnetic simulations and electrical characterizations. The first results presented in this thesis concern the improvement of sensitivity without degradation of linearity for sensors based on non-circular dots; experiments confirm the validity of the solutions obtained by micromagnetic simulations. The second part of this work concerns the measure and study of noise and detectivity for different dot shapes and magnetic stacks. We show that noise and sensitivity are correlated and that noise is linked to grains at the interface with MgO tunnel barrier. In particular, we demonstrate that non-magnetic inserts improve detectivity. The third part of this work deals with hysteresis reduction in these sensors. Using micromagnetic simulations, we show that hysteresis can be controlled thanks to a cut at the dot edge. We also note that elliptical dots with a flat cut improve the measuring range. A residual hysteresis is however generated by the cut. An analytical model is then developed in order to confirm simulations results and to determine dots geometry leading to hysteresis suppression. Finally, the last part of this work deals with the suppression of the residual hysteresis via the magnetostatic interaction between neighbouring dots independently of their shape. An analytical model is developed but needs further improvements to confirm simulation results

Повний текст джерелаWhen two ferromagnetic layers are separated by a thin insulator (or semiconductor), the electronic transport is enabled by tunnelling. This type of stack, called magnetic tunnel junction, is very promising for applications. The magnetoresistance observed in this case is called tunnel magnetoresistance. It is related to the spin polarization of the electrodes, in other words to the asymmetry of the density of states of the electrodes at Fermi energy for the two spin directions. A solution to obtain a higher spin polarization and thus a high magnetoresistance is to use half-metallic ferromagnetic oxides, for which the Fermi energy crosses an energy band for one spin direction and a band gap for the other direction. The challenge is to obtain a half-metal at room temperature. We focus on the half-metal double perovskite Sr2FeMoO6, which offers a relatively high Curie temperature, and is therefore potentially half-metallic at room temperature. The powder synthesis and the thin film deposition by pulsed laser deposition are studied using various techniques. Finally, magnetic tunnel junctions based on Sr2FeMoO6 are grown and the transport properties are examined

Повний текст джерелаMany possible applications have arisen in the domain of spin electronics since the prediction and experimental observation of high tunneling magneto-resistance (TMR) values in MgO-based tunnel junctions. These high TMR values are due to the crystallinity of the stack, which allows the electronic transport to be described by Bloch wave functions and gives a symmetry dependence of the spin filtering in the tunnel barrier. An original experimental set-up has been developed during this PhD that is able to measure the electronic properties of nano-objects under an applied magnetic field. It combines fast electronic acquisition cards and an atomic force microscope (AFM) equipped with a full metallic tip. This set-up is highly versatile and allows nano-objects to be electrically contacted without difficult nano-fabrication steps. This set-up has been used in order to study the influence of the interfaces on the electronic properties of the fully epitaxial magnetic tunnel junction Fe/MgO/Fe (100). Two interface resonant states (IRS) have been observed for the first time in this system at 0. 2 eV and 1. 1 eV above the Fermi energy of the minority spin electrons. These IRS drastically modify the tunnel transport and even reverse the dynamic TMR. The transport symmetry of the IRS has been found from a study of samples with different MgO thicknesses

Повний текст джерелаAfter discovery of a great tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR) in magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJ) at room temperature, several potential applications based on polarized transport have emerged. Large TMR values at room temperature are very promising, in particular, for the use of the tunnel junctions within magnetic random access memory (MRAM) devices. However, the MRAM currently proposed, which incorporate magnetic junctions tunnel, require to add a semiconductor switch (a CMOS transistor or a PN diode) in series with the cell memory (MTJ). Indeed, in a matrix of MTJ, it is necessary to remove (or block) the stray currents coming from the other elements during the reading of the magnetic state of a given element. However, this process is penalized by the technological difficulty to combine a semiconductor part, where conduction is done in a planar geometry, and a metal/oxide part. One of the means of circumventing this difficulty of integration is to introduce a diode based on metal/insolator multilayers. In this case, diodes can be manufactured with the same size as the magnetic junctions that will lead to an increase of the storage density in the MRAM. In this thesis, we have elaborated such structures and have validated the operating mode of a Metal-Insulator Diode (MID) with a high rectification ratio. The second part of this work is devoted to the integration of the diode thus obtained with a magnetic junction giving the magnetoresitif signal in a MID-RAM structure. This corresponds to contacting the MID diode (blocking function) in series with a magnetic tunnel junction (memory function RAM). The operating mode of the MID-RAM has been validated using simulations and macroscopic contacts between a MID and a magnetic junction. An integrated structure has been realised exhibiting simultaneously TMR signal and rectified current. However, we show that this integration comes up against difficulties related to intrinsic properties of the transport in such structures

Повний текст джерелаThe size reduction of spintronic devices causes the decrease of the signal to noise ratio, especially due to the increase of magnetic fluctuations near the super-paramagnetic limit. Simultaneously, the size reduction of these devices brought about the emergence of a new phenomenon: the spin transfer. A spin polarized current leads to a torque on the magnetization of a ferromagnetic layer. When the current density exceeds a threshold value called the critical current, the magnetization of the ferromagnetic layer can be reversed or led into a steady-state precession. Many studies have been conducted on these two effects, from a fundamental or an applied point of view. But few have been done at currents below the critical threshold, that is to say in a regime where the spin transfer torque is expected to have no macroscopic effects on the magnetization dynamic. Ln this context, we showed that the spin transfer torque strongly impacts the spectrum of magnetic fluctuations at the ferromagnetic resonance in magnetic tunnel junctions, even for currents far below the critical current. This result could be obtained since we realized a broadband experimental set-up (DC-26 GHz) to measure the noise emitted by a magnetoresistive device. The detection limit of the bench is less than 0. 5 nY! /. . JHz. Moreover, we developed a model based on the fluctuation-dissipation theorem that explains the changes in the magnetic fluctuation spectrum due to the spin polarized current. Thus, we could evidence the coexistence of two terms of spin transfer torque in magnetic tunnel junctions

Повний текст джерелаDans ce contexte, nous avons montré que le couple de transfert de spin agit fortement sur les fluctuations de l'aimantation à la résonance ferromagnétique dans les jonctions tunnel magnétiques, même pour des courants bien inférieurs au seuil critique. Pour ce faire, nous avons mis en place un banc de mesure de bruit large bande : DC − 26 GHz dont le seuil de détection est inférieur à 0, 5 nV/pHz. De plus, grâce à un modèle développé à partir du théorème de fluctuation-dissipation, nous avons pu expliquer les modifications du spectre des fluctuations magnétiques induites par le courant. Nous avons ainsi pu mettre en évidence l'existence de deux termes de couple de transfert de spin.

Повний текст джерелаThe subject of this thesis is the elaboration by epitaxy and the characterization of devices designed for spintronic applications : magnetic tunnel junctions (FePt/MgO/FePt) and hybrid heterostructures ferromagnetic metal / semiconductor III-V (FePt/MgO/GaAs). Ln both cases we used MgO as an insulating barrier and FePt ferromagnetic electrodes with magnetization perpendicular to the surface plane (the L1o ordered alloy). This ferromagnetic material has been chosen for the purpose of creating future magnetic memories because its large anisotropy enables a stable magnetic information. Different magnetic behaviors have been shown for each of the two electrodes of the magnetic tunnel junctions. Structural characterizations of the system performed during the growth process led us to attribute this effect to the epitaxial strain of the thin films. Surprisingly at first sight, the magnetic decoupling of the system is not guaranteed in the general case because of the strong magnetization of the ferromagnetic layers that induces a strong stray field during the magnetization reversaIs. We also were able to deduce, by experiments and calculations, the influence of the thickness of the electrodes on the general magnetic properties of the device. Studies of magnetization reversaI dynamics have shed some light on the key role played by the pinning of the domain walls during the magnetization reversals. All-epitaxial FePtlMgO/GaAs hybrid systems were elaborated by combining different deposition chambers. We managed to grow systems exhibiting very good structural and magnetic properties

Повний текст джерелаThe research domain of spin dependent transport in ferromagnetic metal / insulator / ferromagnetic metal (FM/I/FM) junctions has gained a novel interest in the last seven years since its discovery at room temperature. These hybrid metal/insulator structures have potential applications in the domain of magnetic sensors and non-volatile memories. In a tunnel junction the electrons are polarised in the magnetic electrodes and traverse the thin insulator layer (tunnel barrier) by tunnel effect. The resistance of the magnetic tunnel junction varies with the relative orientation of the magnetisation of the two electrodes, which is controlled by the application of a magnetic field (magnetoresistance effect). This work of thesis has permitted us to clarify certain aspects in the physics of spin dependent tunnelling in FM-Al2O3-FM junctions. On one hand, we have studied the magnetic properties of the metallic electrodes of the junctions, especially the artificial antiferromagnet (AAF) which constitutes the magnetically hard electrode. On the other hand, we have examined the role of the interfaces in the tunnel transport, and particularly of those between the ferromagnetic metals and the aluminium oxide. We have demonstrated by nanometric cartography of the tunnel current, how that the chemical disorder in these interfaces influences the spatial homogeneity of the current traversing the barrier and the value of the magnetoresistance. In parallel, comparative studies of magnetotransport at low temperature have shown the connection between the chemical disorder and inelastic transport mechanisms, adding to the elastic tunnel process. These mechanisms correspond to the interaction of the electrons with magnons in the ferromagnetic electrodes, as well as with phonons in the electrodes and the tunnel barrier

Повний текст джерелаIn the last few years, the study of metallic multilayers has aroused great interest in the scientific community mainly because of their 2D magnetic properties, which do not exist in bulk material. The magnetic multilayers or Magnetic Tunnel Junctions (MTJ) are a major progress for applications such as magnetic sensors and non-volatile memory devices like Magnetic Random Access Memory (MRAM). MTJs (with magnetoresistance properties) consist of two ferromagnetic layers separated by an insulating layer and are used as storage elements in MRAM. The magnetoresistance is the relative difference in the resistance between parallel and anti-parallel magnetizations of the two electrodes. This property can be used for magnetization binary coding of each MTJ. In this study, Co/Al2O3/Co and Co/Al2O3/Co/NiFe stacks have been deposited by ion beam sputtering. This technique allows both metal and oxide deposition with low deposition rates. Therefore, thicknesses are accurately controlled and films show a good uniformity. Moreover, the high vacuum environment reduces film contamination. The magnetic behavior of the two electrodes and the Co/Al2O3/Co and Co/Al2O3/Co/NiFe stacks is investigated using Polar Magneto-optical Kerr Effect (P-MOKE) and Alternating Gradient Field Magnetometry (AGFM), at room temperature. On the Co/Al2O3/Co stack, we show that the Co/Al2O3 and Al2O3/Co interfaces have negligible effect on magnetization. It seems that no cobalt oxidation occurs at the bottom and upper interfaces with the alumina. On the Co/Al2O3/Co/NiFe multilayer, we observe the magnetization switching of each electrode. This result shows that it is possible to use ion beam sputtering for MTJs elaboration

Повний текст джерелаDue to their advantageous properties in terms of data retention, storage density and critical current density for Spin Transfer Torque (STT) switching, the magnetic tunnel junctions with perpendicular anisotropy have become predominant in the developments for MRAM applications. The aim of this thesis is to improve the anisotropy and transport properties of such structures and to realize even more complex stacks such as perpendicular double junctions. Studies on the magnetic properties and Tunnel MagnetoResistance (TMR) measurements showed that to optimize the performances of the junctions, all the thicknesses of the different layers constituting the stack have to be adapted. To guaranty both a large TMR as well a strong perpendicular anisotropy, compromises are most of the time needed. Studies as a function of magnetic thickness enabled to extract the saturation magnetization, the critical thickness and the magnetic dead layer thickness both in the bottom reference and the top storage layer in structures capped with Ta. This type of junction could be tested electrically after patterning the sample into nanopillars. Knowing that perpendicular anisotropy mostly arises at the metal/oxide interface, the Ta capping layer was replaced by a MgO one, leading to a huge increase in the anisotropy of the free layer. A second top reference was then added on such a stack to create functional perpendicular double junctions. CoFeB/insertion/CoFeB synthetic antiferromagnetic storage layers could be developed and were proved to be stable enough to replace the standard Co/Pt-based reference layers

Повний текст джерелаA magnetic tunnel junction (mtj) is composed by two thin ferromagnetic layers (cobalt, nickel, iron), separated by a thin insulating barrier (alumina). This structure has evolved since the measurement of the first tunnel magnetoresistance (tmr) at room temperature in 1995. Currently, magnetic tunnel junctions are used in the new generation of magnetic memories (mram) and as read head in hard drives. This study presents the elaboration of cobalt/alumina/cobalt/permalloy magnetic tunnel junctions by ion beam sputtering (ibs). The aim is to prove the potentiality of this deposition technique, which is little used for this application. The tunnel magnetoresistance has been determined by two methods. The first method has required a pattering process of the full stacking in a clean room, in order to elaborate the electric contacts. The second method is based on the cipt principle (current in plane tunneling), which can be performed directly on the full stack. The mrt value has been evaluated at 7,5%. To improve this first result, ion beam sputtering simulations have been performed with srim2003 software. These simulations will lead us to optimize the experimental conditions of the thin films elaboration

Повний текст джерелаSpin Transfer Torque - Magnetic Random Access Memories – STT-MRAM – are developed as a new type of memory which could replace DRAM or SRAM. In the case of STT- MRAM, each memory point is a nanopillar magnetic tunnel junction composed of two magnetic layers separated by an oxide barrier. The multilayer stack can be grown under ultra-high vacuum using Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE) or Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD). Those systems are developed by the company Vinci Technologies (sponsoring this PhD work). The tunnel magnetoresistance signal which depends on the relative orientation of the two magnetizations is used to read the information stored in the device. The writing of the information in the device is realized thanks to the spin transfer torque effect, which allows magnetization manipulation using a spin current. The thermal stability of the device is given by the energy barrier separating the two magnetization orientations (up and down in the case of a perpendicular device). For STT-MRAM to be a competitive technology, the critical voltage needed for magnetization switching (writing voltage) as well as the switching time have to be reduced while the thermal stability remains high enough to ensure the retention of information. During my thesis, in collaboration with Vinci-Technologies several tools to grow thin films have been optimized. With such equipment, we were able to grow thin films with well characterized perpendicular (out-of-plane) anisotropy. I have then focused my study on industrial STT-MRAM devices (from two companies: IBM and STT) with an out-of-plane magnetization direction so as to understand the mechanism of current induced magnetization switching. By doing so, I could identify the relevant parameters influencing the switching voltage value and propose solutions to lower it while preserving thermal stability. Through a probabilistic study of magnetization reversal, coupled with macrospin and micromagnetic modeling studies, I have evidenced different switching mechanisms depending on the initial magnetic configuration. Indeed both the stray field from one magnetic layer to the other and the shape of the nanopillar have a large impact on magnetization manipulation

This procedure so-called Atomic Layer Deposition and Oxidation (ALDO procedure) allows to get an artificial oxide film perfectly homogeneous in depth and chemical composition as well. Several properties like gap measurement, stoichiometry, surface morphology and electrons transport allows to mind that oxid could be in good agreement with microelectronics applications (Magnetic Tunnel Junction and Magnetic memories)

Повний текст джерелаIn spintronics, magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJ) with high tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR) at room temperature are very promising structures for the development of a new generation of random access memory (MRAM) or for the realization of ultra-sensitive magnetic sensors (automobile industry, read heads for hard disks). In this thesis, MTJ have the following structure : NiO/Co/barrier/Co. The barrier is obtained by natural oxidation of a metal layer thinner than 2 nm. It is either simple, formed by Al2O3 or MgO, or hybrid, formed by 2 or 3 subnanometric oxide layers (Al2O3, MgO ou NiO). MTJ were fabricated by sputtering trough shadow masks, on glass or MgO (110) substrates. Physical properties were studied by magneto-optical measurements, magneto-transport investigations (from 4,2 to 300 K), spin polarized tunneling, PNR, X-ray diffraction, AFM, HREM. The first step was to investigate the magnetic properties (anisotropy, magnetization reversal mechanism) of each electrode for various deposition methods. Coupling between electrodes was then measured with different insulating layers. After optimizing barriers thickness, MTJ transport properties (resistance, TMR, temperature and voltage dependencies) were studied with each kind of barrier. This work allowed us to control the MTJ magnetoresistive responses shape and amplitude, and to compare the quality of various barriers. The best quality barriers - Al2O3 barriers - give 20% TMR at room temperature

Повний текст джерелаIn the current context of information technology, the sequential processing carried out by classical computer architectures stumbles on problems of energy consumption. Inspired by nature, especially the brain, an alternative solution appears through artificial neural networks. In this background, the realization of nano-components, called memristors, which mimic synaptic plasticity, enables to consider achieving densely interconnected neural networks due to their small size. In this work, our focus is on the realization of such a component, defined as a tunable and non-volatile nano-resistor, and which operation is based on the principle of spintronics (use of the spin of electrons as information vector), which has the advantages of compatibility with current technologies (CMOS, MRAM …etc). By using a magnetic tunnel junction, the concept of the spintronic memristor is based on the motion of a magnetic domain wall by spin transfer effect, where each wall position defines an intermediate resistance state. In order to control the resistance of this spintronic memristive device, the study of static and dynamic properties of the domain wall under the influence of a spin polarized current is required. By the study of the displacement and resonance of the wall whithin an in-plane magnetized device, we established a first assessment (commutation time of the device below one nanosecond and observation of an over-damping). Based on these preliminary studies, we then optimized magnetic tunnel junctions with out-of-plane magnetizations. On one hand, we show that the number of intermediate resistance states is strongly increased (between 15 and 20 states), allowing this spintronic memristive device to be used to perform neuromorphic tasks. Furthermore, we show that the device is optimized to use the most efficient spin transfer torque to displace the magnetic domain wall

Повний текст джерелаThis thesis work is focusing on magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJ) and diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMS) for spintronic applications. Growth technique is ultra high vacuum molecular beam epitaxy (UHV-MBE), some of the techniques of characterization are atomic force microscope (AFM), scanning tunneling microscope (STM), refraction high energy electrons diffraction (RHEED), and transmission electronic microscope (TEM). Concerning the MTJ, we proposed an alternative oxidation method called layer-by-layer (LBL). The aim is to avoid under- and over-oxidation of the Al layer. This procedure consists in a repetitive growth of an atomic layer (AL) followed by oxidation by atomic oxygen. We found oxidation kinetics, the stoichiometry of the oxide and we show that only Al is oxidized. To improve the LBL technique, we have to grow a Co layer with a very flat surface, but still ferromagnetic. We succeed by using a template layer, by growing Co/Si at 200°C. The result is a multi-domain epitaxial layer with four epitaxial relations, the corresponding phase is Co2Si. For the DMS, first we studied the initial stage of Mn/Ge (001) growth in order to understand different phenomena as diffusion segregation and coalescence, which are at the origin of the formation of a metastable phase based en nanocolumns (NC) that exhibit a TC =400K. We found that Mn form epitaxial islands with a maximal size and a mean separation comparable with those found for the NC. Second, we focused on the growth of the Mn5Ge3 phase by co-deposition. This phase is ferromagnetic at room temperature and allows the injection of a polarized current into Ge substrate. Co-deposition gives rise to an immediate nucleation avoiding the diffusion process to occur as it happens during anneal in the common procedure for growing this alloy

Повний текст джерелаThe symmetry-filtering into the ferromagnets as predicted by the theoreticians has never suffered of any other justification than its ability to shed the light on the experimental observations. Fe/MgO/Fe(001) junctions are then an appropriate tool to test its validity thanks to their high crystallinity. The first performed low frequency noise measurements have proved the well-suited quality of this kind of junctions and the study of the current’s dynamic through the system, its pure direct tunneling. By using Cr(001) thin films, the symmetry-filtering has been unambiguously highlighted with the occurrence of quantum-well states only for one specific electronic symmetry in Fe/Cr/Fe/MgO/Fe(001). Thus, the validity of the theoretical concepts allows investigating the symmetry-dependent spin-injection into more complex systems such as Fe3O4(001) thin films which have revealed theirselves as promising to integrate into MgO(001)-based tunnel devices

Повний текст джерелаWith the shrinking of CMOS (complementary metal oxide semi-conductor) technology, static and dynamic power increase dramatically and indeed has become one of the main challenges due to the increasing leakage current and long transfer distance between memory and logic chips. In the past decades, spintronics devices, such as spin transfer torque based magnetic tunnel junction (STT-MTJ), are widely investigated to overcome the static power issue thanks to their non-volatility. Hybrid logic-in-memory (LIM) architecture allows spintronics devices to be fabricated over the CMOS circuit plane, thereby reducing the transfer latency and the dynamic power dissipation. This thesis focuses on the design of hybrid MTJ/CMOS logic circuits and memories for low-power computing system.By using a compact MTJ model and the STMicroelectronics design kit for regular CMOS design, we investigate the hybrid MTJ/CMOS circuits for single-bit and multi-bit reading and writing. Optimization methods are also introduced to improve the reliability, which is extremely important for logic circuits where error correction blocks cannot be easily embedded without sacrificing their performances or adding extra area to the circuit. We extend the application of multi-context hybrid MTJ/CMOS structure to the memory design. Magnetic random access memory (MRAM) with simple peripheral circuits is designed.Based on the LIM concept, non-volatile logic/arithmetic circuits are designed to integrate MTJs not only as storage elements but also as logic operands. First, we design and theoretically analyze the non-volatile logic gates (NVLGs) including NOT, AND, OR and XOR. Then, 1-bit and 8-bit non-volatile full-adders (NVFAs), the basic elements for arithmetic operations, are proposed and compared with the traditional CMOS-based full-adder. The effect of CMOS transistor sizing and the MTJ parameters on the performances of NVFA is studied. Furthermore, we optimize the NVFA from two levels. From the structure-level, an ultra-high reliability voltage-mode sensing circuit is used to store the operand of NVFA. From the device-level, we propose 3-terminal MTJ switched by spin-Hall-assisted STT to replace the 2-terminal MTJ because of its smaller writing time and power consumption. Based on the NVLGs and NVFAs, other logic circuits can be built, for instance, non-volatile subtractor.Finally, non-volatile content addressable memory (NVCAM) is proposed. Two magnetic decoders aim at selecting a word line to be read or written and saving the corresponding search location in non-volatile state
