Abstract

Abstract Electric field control of spin-orbit torque (SOT) exhibits promising potential in advanced spintronic devices through interfacial modulation. In this work, we investigate the influence of electric field and interfacial oxidation on SOT efficiency in annealed Ta/CoFeB/HfO x heterostructures. By varying annealing temperatures, the damping-like SOT efficiency reaches its peak at the annealing temperature of 320 °C, with an 80% field-free magnetization switching ratio induced by SOT having been demonstrated. This enhancement is ascribed to the annealing-induced modulation of oxygen ion migration at the CoFeB/HfO x interface. By applying voltages across the Ta/CoFeB/HfO x heterostructures, which drives the O2‒ migration across the interface, a reversible, bipolar, and non-volatile modulation of SOT efficiency was observed. The collective influence of annealing temperature and electric field effects on SOT carried out in this work provides an effective approach into facilitating the optimization and control of SOT in spintronic devices.
