  • Abstract
    A successful attempt in obtaining an ultra-low resistance-area-product (RA) of about 0.4 Omegamum2 with TMR ratio of about 57% at room temperature by optimizing the applied sputtering power for the MgO deposition in polycrystalline CoFeB/MgO/CoFeB magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) was reported.
