Materials and material systems with ultra-low Gilbert damping para- meters are a crucial requirement for the realization of spin-wave logic devices. For that, CoFeB is a promising candidate due to its intrinsically low damping. Our aim is to investigate the suitability of an annealing step to further decrease the damping in CoFeB-based systems. Ferromagnetic resonance measurements as well as the magneto-optical Kerr effect reveal the dependence of the Gilbert damping parameter, the exchange constant, the saturation magnetization, and the coercive field on the annealing temperature. The correlation of these parameters with the crystalline properties is determined using X-ray diffracto- metry. Furthermore, we present Brillouin light scattering spectroscopy measurements of spin waves in waveguides showing the influence of annealing on the spin-dynamic properties.
