MAGNETORESISTIVE STACK AND METHODS THEREFOR

Abstract:

A magnetoresistive device includes a magnetically fixed region and a magnetically free region positioned on opposite sides of a tunnel barrier region. One or more transition regions, including at least a first transition region and second transition region, is positioned between the magnetically fixed region and the tunnel barrier region. The first transition region includes a non-ferromagnetic transition metal and the second transition region includes an alloy including iron and boron.
