Abstract

Methods, systems, and devices are disclosed for implementing semiconductor memory using variable resistance elements for storing data. In one aspect, an electronic device is provided to comprise a semiconductor memory unit including: a substrate; an interlayer dielectric layer disposed over the substrate; and a variable resistance element including a seed layer formed over the interlayer dielectric layer, a first magnetic layer formed over the seed layer, a tunnel barrier layer formed over the first magnetic layer, and a second magnetic layer formed over the tunnel barrier layer, wherein the seed layer includes a conductive material having a metallic property and an oxygen content of 1% to approximately 10%.
