The alloy compositions form ordered compounds having L10 or L12 type crystalline structures within specified compositional ranges.

Description
- The invention concerns low oxygen content alloy compositions, and more particularly concerns low oxygen content alloy compositions having magnetic properties useful in magnetic memory applications.
- Magnetoresistive (MR) heads and Magnetic Random Access Memory (MRAM) are expected to be key technologies for future generations of vertical magnetic recording and cell phone memory applications. New materials are being studied in order to improve designs that will increase memory area density and reduce the size of memory chips. Not only must these new materials possess particular magnetic properties for use in these technologies, they must also have high purity levels.
- Material purity plays a significant role in the performance of thin film materials used in magnetic data storage and MRAM applications. For example, the presence of impurities, such as oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur and alkalides alters the lattice structure of a thin film material and thereby displaces atoms in the lattice. This effect on the structural order of the material degrades the material's magnetic properties and therefore its performance in magnetic memory applications. In addition, the presence of impurities such as oxygen can produce short diffusion paths through the thin film material into the magnetic layers. Accordingly, there is a need to identify and develop thin film materials having particular magnetic properties as well as high levels of purity.
- The present invention comprises a series of alloy compositions having preferred magnetic properties for use in magnetic memory applications. The alloy compositions form ordered compounds having L10 or L12 type crystalline structures within the claimed compositional ranges. In addition, the alloy compositions of the invention have low levels of impurities, such as oxygen and sulfur, which provide better performance in magnetic memory applications. The alloy compositions preferably are formed into sputtering targets used for thin film applications.
- The alloy compositions of the invention include Mn alloys that combine Mn with one element selected from Ga, In, Ni and Zn. Also included in the alloy compositions are Fe alloys and Co alloys, in which Fe or Co are combined with either Pt or Pd.
- The oxygen content of the alloy compositions of the invention is 500 ppm or less and preferably 100 ppm or less. Additionally, the sulfur content of the alloy compositions is 100 ppm or less and preferably 50 ppm or less.

Examples 1 and 2 below describe Mn—Ni alloys and an Mn—In alloy, respectively, according to the present invention.
- A series of three Ni—Mn melt tests were conducted. The melt charge compositions for each of the tests are shown below in Table 2. The melt charge compositions were made using 99.95% pure Ni shots and 99.9% pure Mn flakes.
