Preparation.
背景技术Background technique
近年来,垂直自旋阀和磁隧道结等磁电器件由于具有高密度的优势以及比面内器件具有更好的热稳定性的特点而成为本领域的研究发展方向。其中,基于垂直磁隧道结的磁存储器被认为是下一代高密度非易失性存储器的代表技术之一。垂直磁隧道结中自由层和参考层等基本功能层都要求是具有易轴垂直膜面的材料。故此,寻找垂直易轴薄膜及其简单生长方法成为制备高密度磁电器件的关键。In recent years, magnetoelectric devices such as vertical spin valves and magnetic tunnel junctions have become the research direction in this field due to their advantages of high density and better thermal stability than in-plane devices. Among them, the magnetic memory based on the perpendicular magnetic tunnel junction is considered as one of the representative technologies of the next-generation high-density non-volatile memory. The basic functional layers such as the free layer and the reference layer in the vertical magnetic tunnel junction are required to be materials with a film plane that is perpendicular to the easy axis. Therefore, the search for vertical easy-axis thin films and their simple growth methods has become the key to fabricating high-density magnetoelectric devices.
传统磁光记录稀土-过渡族合金薄膜如TbFeCo和DyFeCo合金材料由于具有大垂直磁各向异性及高的热稳定性好,当前也广泛用于高密度磁电器件领域。这种亚铁磁合金薄膜材料中稀土元素(Tb或者Dy)与过渡元素(FeCo)子晶格的磁矩呈现反平行排列,导致这类材料中可能存在一个特定的补偿点成分,对应于这个补偿点成分合金薄膜的矫顽力为无限大。易轴垂直膜面的稀土-过渡合金薄膜成分一般位于补偿点成分附近一个不大的成分区域内。室温时合金薄膜材料中稀土元素子晶格的磁矩大于过渡族元素子晶格的磁矩则合金薄膜为富稀土相,反之则为富过渡相。垂直磁电器件件要求稀土-过渡族合金薄膜具有较大差异的垂直矫顽力,以满足器件中自由层(矫顽力小,磁化方向易随外场方向)和钉扎层(矫顽力大,磁化方向不易随外场方向变动)等不同功能层的要求。寻找具有大差异垂直反转场的稀土-过渡合金薄膜材料的制备方法,在当前高密度磁自旋电子学器件特别是电流直接诱导磁化反转等新型低功耗信息存储器领域具有重要意义,并有可能产生巨大的经济效益。Traditional magneto-optical recording rare earth-transition alloy thin films such as TbFeCo and DyFeCo alloy materials are widely used in the field of high-density magnetoelectric devices due to their large perpendicular magnetic anisotropy and high thermal stability. The magnetic moments of the rare earth element (Tb or Dy) and the transition element (FeCo) sublattice in this ferrimagnetic alloy thin film material are antiparallel alignment, which leads to the possible existence of a specific compensation point composition in this type of material, corresponding to this The coercivity of the compensation point composition alloy film is infinite. The composition of the rare earth-transition alloy thin film with the easy axis perpendicular to the film surface is generally located in a small composition area near the compensation point composition. When the magnetic moment of the rare earth element sublattice in the alloy film material is greater than that of the transition element sublattice at room temperature, the alloy film is a rare earth rich phase, otherwise it is a transition rich phase. Perpendicular magnetoelectric devices require rare-earth-transition alloy films with widely different vertical coercive forces to meet the requirements of the free layer (small coercivity, and the magnetization direction easily follows the direction of the external field) and the pinned layer (large coercivity) in the device. , the magnetization direction is not easy to change with the direction of the external field) and other requirements of different functional layers. Finding a preparation method of rare earth-transition alloy thin film materials with large difference vertical reversal field is of great significance in the field of current high-density magnetic spintronic devices, especially in the field of new low-power information memory such as direct current-induced magnetization reversal. Potentially huge economic benefits.
