Thin films and methods for forming thin films utilizing ECAE-targets

The invention includes methods of forming a barrier layer. Material is ablated from an ECAE target to form a layer having a thickness variance of less than or equal to 1% of 1-sigma across a substrate surface. The invention includes a method of forming a tunnel junction. A thin film is formed betwee...

description The invention includes methods of forming a barrier layer. Material is ablated from an ECAE target to form a layer having a thickness variance of less than or equal to 1% of 1-sigma across a substrate surface. The invention includes a method of forming a tunnel junction. A thin film is formed between first and second magnetic layers. The thin film, the first magnetic layer, and/or the second magnetic layer are formed by ablating material from an ECAE target to provide improved layer thickness uniformity relative to corresponding layers formed utilizing non-ECAE targets. The invention includes a physical vapor deposition target and a thin film formed using the target. The target contains an alloy of aluminum and at least one alloying element selected from Ga, Zr and In. The resulting film has a thickness variance across the thin film of less than 1.5% of 1-sigma.
