Abstract

Voltage-induced ferromagnetic resonance (V-FMR) in magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) with a W buffer is investigated. Perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) energy is controlled by both thickness of a CoFeB free layer deposited directly on the W buffer and a post-annealing process at different temperatures. The PMA energy as well as the magnetization damping are determined by analysing field-dependent FMR signals in different field geometries. An optimized MTJ structure enabled excitation of V-FMR at frequencies exceeding 30 GHz. The macrospin modelling is used to analyse the field- and angular-dependence of the V-FMR signal and to support experimental magnetization damping extraction.
