Abstract
A spin-orbit-torque (SOT) magnetic device includes a bottom metal layer, a first magnetic layer disposed over the bottom metal layer, a spacer layer disposed over the first magnetic layer, and a second magnetic layer disposed over the spacer layer. A diffusion barrier layer for suppressing metal elements of the first magnetic layer from diffusing into the bottom metal layer is disposed between the bottom metal layer and the first magnetic layer.
