Summary:A method of forming a bottom-pinned magnetoresistive element comprising a composite recording structure that includes a first magnetic free layer and a second magnetic free layer containing Ni atoms, separated by an oxide spacing layer. The first magnetic free layer is Ni-free and the first magnetic free layer and the second magnetic free layer are magnetically parallel-coupled. A magnetic STT-enhancing structure is further provided atop the cap layer, wherein the magnetic STT-enhancing structure comprises a first magnetic material layer atop the cap layer and having a perpendicular magnetic anisotropy and an invariable magnetization anti-parallel to the magnetization direction of the reference layer, a second anti-ferromagnetic coupling (AFC) layer atop the first magnetic material layer, and a second magnetic material layer atop the second AFC layer.
