Abstract

A magnetic pinned layer is formed over a substrate. An insulating film is formed over the magnetic pinned layer. A recess is formed in and through the insulating film. A tunneling insulating film is formed over a bottom of the recess. A first magnetic free layer is formed over the bottom of the recess via the tunneling insulating film. A second magnetic free layer is formed over the insulating film and made of a same material as the first magnetic free layer. A non-magnetic film is formed on sidewalls of the recess, extending from the first magnetic free layer to the second magnetic free layer and made of oxide of the material of the first magnetic free layer. An upper electrode is disposed over the first magnetic free layer, non-magnetic film and second magnetic free layer, and electrically connected to the first magnetic free layer and second magnetic free layer.
