Abstract:
MRAM cell including a magnetic tunnel junction including a reference layer, a storage layer having a storage magnetization, a tunnel barrier layer between the reference and the storage layers; and an antiferromagnetic layer exchange-coupling the storage layer such as to pin the storage magnetization at a low temperature threshold and free it at a high temperature threshold. The storage layer includes a first ferromagnetic layer in contact with the tunnel barrier layer, a second ferromagnetic layer in contact with the antiferromagnetic layer, and a low saturation magnetization storage layer including a ferromagnetic material and a non-magnetic material. The MRAM cell can be written with improved reliability.
