Abstract
The growth and crystallization processes of Co20Fe50B30/MgO/Co20Fe50B30 magnetic tunnel junction structures is investigated with 2θ x-ray diffraction. A MgO layer with thickness of 1.5nm was grown on an amorphous CoFeB layer, and then was crystallized. By proper annealing, the crystal structure of MgO has been improved. The results show important information for preparation of magnetic tunnel junction.
