摘要:
A perpendicular spin-transfer torque magnetic random access memory (STTMRAM) element is configured to store a state when electrical current is applied thereto. The perpendicular STTMRAM element includes a magnetization layer having a first free layer and a second free layer, separated by a non-magnetic separation layer (NMSL). The direction of magnetization of the first and second free layers each is in-plane prior to the application of electrical current and after the application of electrical current, the direction of magnetization of the second free layer becomes substantially titled out-of-plane and the direction of magnetization of the first free layer switches. Upon electrical current being discontinued, the direction of magnetization of the second free layer remains in a direction that is substantially opposite to that of the first free layer.
