Current In Plane Tunneling (CIPT) is a very fast and cost effective method to characterize Magnetic Tunnel Junctions (MTJ’s).
CIPT Method
The Current-In-Plane Tunneling (CIPT) method is used to characterize the properties of a tunnel junction, by landing a probe on top of the sample. These non-invasive measurements greatly speed up development and testing, due to the microsized probe spacings these measurements can be used for both homogeneity control and parameter characterization.
