摘要:
The present disclosure concerns a method for writing to a self-referenced MRAM cell comprising a magnetic tunnel junction comprising: a storage layer including a first ferromagnetic layer having a first storage magnetization, a second ferromagnetic layer having a second storage magnetization, and a non-magnetic coupling layer separating the first and second ferromagnetic layers; a sense layer having a free sense magnetization; and a tunnel barrier layer included between the sense and storage layers; the first and second ferromagnetic layers being arranged such that a dipolar coupling between the storage) and the sense layers is substantially null; the method comprising: switching the second ferromagnetic magnetization by passing a spin-polarized current in the magnetic tunnel junction; wherein the spin-polarized current is polarized when passing in the sense layer, in accordance with the direction of the sense magnetization. The MRAM cell can be written with low power consumption.
