Abstract

This technology provides an electronic device. An electronic device in accordance with an implementation of this document may include a semiconductor memory for storing data, and the semiconductor memory may include a free layer having a variable magnetization direction; a pinned layer having a pinned magnetization direction; a tunnel barrier layer interposed between the free layer and the pinned layer; and an interface enhancement layer interposed between the tunnel barrier layer and the pinned layer, wherein the interface enhancement layer may include an Fe-rich first layer; a Co-rich second layer formed over the first layer; and a metal layer formed over the second layer.
