Abstract

See full text

A method used while forming a magnetic tunnel junction comprises forming non-magnetic tunnel insulator material over magnetic electrode material. The tunnel insulator material comprises MgO and the magnetic electrode material comprises Co and Fe. B is proximate opposing facing surfaces of the tunnel insulator material and the magnetic electrode material. B-absorbing material is formed over a sidewall of at least one of the magnetic electrode material and the tunnel insulator material. B is absorbed from proximate the opposing facing surfaces laterally into the B-absorbing material. Other embodiments are disclosed, including magnetic tunnel junctions independent of method of manufacture.
