We fabricated MTJ devices that have doubly oxidized tunnel barrier using plasma oxidation method to from oxidized AlOx tunnel barrier. Doubly oxidation I, which sputtered 10 Å-bottom Al layer and oxidized it with oxidation time of 10 s. Subsequent sputtering of 13 Å-Al was performed and the metallic layer was oxidized for 50, 80, and 120 s, respectively, Doubly oxidation II, which sputtered 10 Å-bottom Al layer and oxidized it varying oxidation time for 30〜120 s. Subsequent sputtering of 13 Å-Al was performed and the metallic layer was oxidized for 210 sec. Doubly oxidation process specimen showed MR ratio of above 27% in all experiment range. Singly oxidation process, 13 Å-Al layer and oxidized up 210 s, showed less MR ratio and more narrow process window than those of doubly oxidation. Cross-sectional TEM images showed that doubly oxidized barrowers were thinner and denser singly oxidized ones. XPS characterization confirmed that doubly oxidation prevented oxidation of Fe with bottom insulating layer. As the result, doubly oxidation could have superior MR ratio in process extent during long oxidation time because of preventing oxidation of bottom magnetic layer than singly oxidation.
