Abstract

Integrated circuits and methods of producing the same are provided. In an exemplary embodiment, an integrated circuit includes a magnetic tunnel junction stack. The magnetic tunnel junction stack includes a seed layer, first and second pinned layers, and a coupling layer. The seed layer includes holmium. The first pinned layer overlies the seed layer, where the first pinned layer is magnetic, and the non-magnetic coupling layer overlies the first pinned layer. The second pinned layer overlies the coupling layer, where the second pinned layer is also magnetic.
