This article presents optimized CoZrTaB-based laminated thin films with a wet etch-able oxide dielectric material. Wet etching capability was studied on the stack material and narrow clean undercut achieved. Good uniaxial anisotropy low coercivity (< 1 Oe) achieved via in situ magnetic alignment during magnetron sputtering.

Here we report, highly resistive FeCo thin films with enhanced soft magnetic properties (low coercivity and anisotropy) by incorporating nitrogen (N) in the amorphous system. N-doped (FeCoN <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">x</inf> , x= 15, 17.5 19%) are deposited N xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</inf> +Ar environment flow rate up to 19%.

This paper present an optimized CoZrTaB-based laminated thin films with a novel wet etch-able oxide dielectric material. Wet etching capability was studied on the stack material exhibiting narrow and clean undercut. Good uniaxial anisotropy low coercivity achieved via in-situ magnetic alignment during magnetron sputtering. Permeability of 432 Q-factor 23.4 at 100 MHz were observed in high frequency permeameter measurement. Finally thermal annealing carried out various temperatures. Uniaxial...
