Abstract
The exchange stiffness constants of 25-nm-thick Co40Fe40B20 films are investigated by Brillouin light scattering. Series of Co40Fe40B20 films is prepared with various Ar gas pressures, and we found that the exchange stiffness constant decreases from 1.41 to 0.98Ã10â11Â 1rom 1.41 to 0.98ous Ar gas pressures, and we found that thin stiffness constants are much smaller than CoFe values due to the B atoms, and the dependence of Ar gas pressure is noticeable. Based on our previous theoretical work, the switching current density of spin transfer torque magnetic random access memory is very sensitive on the exchange stiffness constant; it implies that engineering the exchange stiffness constant by the fabrication process is important to reduce switching current density and the dispersion of switching current density.
