Study on the effect of re-deposition induced by ion beam etching on MTJ performances

Magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) as a key spintronics device can be used for the high-sensitivity magnetic field sensor and high-density non-volatile magnetic random access memory (MRAM). To obtain a high tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR), precise control of the etching process for MTJs is an essentia...
