| Popis: | The ability to fabricate MgO magnetic tunnel junction nanopillars with low RA and high TMR opens the door to new devices such as magnetic memories or nanooscillators. Here, we address the dynamic behavior of a CoFeB/MgO/CoFeB MTJ with a synthetic-antiferromagnetic pinned layer as a potential candidate for spin-transfer torque (STT) driven applications. The unpatterned stack presents an RA of $\sim 1.4~\Omega \mu \text{m}^{2}$ and both free layer and barrier are patterned down to a $90 \times 180$ nm2 elliptical shape. The observed high-frequency spectra displayed deviations from the uniform precession modes due to additional coupling fields. A dependence of the STT magnitude on the analyzed mode was obtained, differing from previous reports, most likely due to the very low RA employed. |
