Abstract

We present a TEM/STEM study of the structure and thermal stability of Co/AlOx/Si, CoFe(B)/MgO/Si and FeNi/SiOx/Si magnetic junctions deposited directly on patterned Si. In all three types of junctions the films are uniform and continuous. Annealing at 300 at 550°C does not change their structure. CoFe and CoFeB layers remained amorphous after the annealing process.
