Abstract

Techniques relate to forming a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ). A magnetic reference layer is formed adjacent to a tunnel barrier layer. The magnetic reference layer includes a pinned layer, a spacer layer adjacent to the pinned layer, and a polarizing enhancement layer adjacent to the spacer layer. A magnetic free layer is formed adjacent to the tunnel barrier layer so as to be opposite the magnetic reference layer.
