Title:
METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING MAGNETORESISTANCE EFFECT ELEMENT
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2014/097510
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method for manufacturing a magnetoresistance effect element capable of reducing the sublimation of a metal when the metal is oxidized while improving throughput during the formation of a tunnel barrier layer of a metallic oxide. An embodiment of the invention is a method for manufacturing a magnetoresistance effect element, wherein said method includes a step of forming the tunnel barrier layer. The step of forming the tunnel barrier layer includes a film-forming step and an oxidation step. In the film-forming step, a metallic film is formed on a substrate, and in the oxidation step, the metallic film is subjected to an oxidative treatment. In the oxidation step, a Mg-formed substrate is held on a substrate holder in a treatment container in which the oxidative treatment is carried out, oxygen gas is introduced into the treatment container at a temperature at which Mg is not sublimated, the oxygen gas is supplied to the substrate, and the substrate is heated after the introduction of the oxygen gas.
