Abstract :
Summary form only given. The AlOx tunnel barrier is a critical and sensitive layer in magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJ). The natural oxidation and the plasma oxidation methods are generally employed to fabricate this layer. In this study, the microstructures and properties of the AlOx layer formed by both methods were compared.
