Optimization of a cost effective cluster tool, which is based on the chemical vapour- and atomic layer- deposition (CVD/ALD) methods for producing materials and systems to be used/included into STT-based MTJs.
Synthesis of multilayered stacks for the fabrication of MTJ demonstrators, with an all in situ CVD/ALD process.
Comparison of the structural, chemical, morphological, and magnetotransport properties of the multistacks and MTJs for selecting the most promising candidates for fabricating well-performing STT-based MTJs.
Study the possibility of inducing parallel and antiparallel states of the FM electrodes magnetization by a current-induced STT process.
Study the role of the dimensionality on the STT phenomena occurring in the soft FM electrode. This will be done by using optical and e-beam lithography for fabricating the micro/nano-scale MTJ structures.
Direct visualization of the soft (free) FM electrode domain walls.
