Abstract
A magnetic memory having a base layer with a wetting layer and seed layer is disclosed. The wetting layer and seed layer promotes FCC structure along the (111) orientation to improve PMA. A surface smoother, such as a surfactant layer, is provided between the wetting and seed layers. This enhances the smoothness of the seed layer, resulting in smoother interface in the MTJ stack, which leads to improved thermal endurance.
