A new method was offered to design tunnel magnetoresistive CoFeB/MgO/CoFeB contacts with free layer vortex magnetization configuration. Contacts are made using electron-beam lithography methods and have lateral sizes of ~ 700 nm. The achieved tunnel magnetoresistance effect was equal to 80-120% for various samples. Thanks to low coercitivity, the magnetoresistance curve has a linear section without magnetic hysteresis that corresponds to vortex offset from the central position. Such types of contacts show spin-transfer diode properties - they feature rectification of high-frequency signals on vortex magnetization configurations. Key words: magnetic tunnel contacts, spin-transfer diode effect, vortex spin-transfer nanooscillators.
