Spin-orbit torque (SOT) has been extensively studied not only from a fundamental perspective but also for its potential in efficiently controlling magnetization for nonvolatile memory and neuromorphic computing applications. Recently, type-II Weyl semimetals have been shown to generate unconventional SOT in terms of the torque direction. WTe2 is a representative example, exhibiting both the unconventional characteristics and high SOT generation efficiency. However, the properties of sputtered WTe2/CoFeB films on silicon substrates-more relevant for practical applications-remain insufficiently explored. In this work, we deposit W-Te/Ru/CoFeB thin films on thermally oxidized silicon substrates using DC/RF magnetron sputtering and evaluate their effective spin Hall conductivity. We investigate the effects of the W-Te composition and underlayer materials on both the thermal durability and the magnitude of the effective spin Hall conductivity. Detailed findings will be discussed in the talk.
