Abstract
A magnetic junction, a memory using the magnetic junction and method for providing the magnetic junction are described. The magnetic junction includes a pinned layer, a perpendicular enhancement layer (PEL), an insertion layer between the pinned layer and PEL, a free layer and a nonmagnetic spacer layer between the PEL and free layer. The insertion layer includes at least one magnetic material and at least one high crystallization temperature nonmagnetic material. The PEL is between the insertion layer and the nonmagnetic spacer layer. The free layer is switchable between a plurality of stable magnetic states when a write current is passed through the magnetic junction. The PEL and free and pinned layers each has a perpendicular magnetic anisotropy energy greater than its out-of-plane demagnetization energy.
