Abstract

Magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) with structure of sub (thermal oxidized Si)/Ta(10 nm)/Py(2 nm)/IrMn(10 nm)/Co75Fe25(2 nm)/Ru(0.85 nm)/ Co40Fe40B20(5 nm)/MgO(2.5 nm)/poly crystalline Co2FeSi or Co2MnSi Heusler alloys/Ta(7)/Ru(7) have been grown by magnetron sputtering method. Differential resistance (dV/dI) and bias voltage dependence of the TMR ratio have been investigated at 6 K. The shape of TMR-V curve for the MTJ with Co2MnSi showed significant voltage dependence of the TMR ratio.
