Abstract: A spin orbit memory device includes a first electrode including a beta-phase material. The spin orbit memory device further includes a material layer stack on a portion of the first electrode. The material layer stack includes a first layer on the first electrode, where the first layer includes a bcc material such as molybdenum. The material layer stack further includes layers of a perpendicular magnetic tunnel junction (pMTJ) device on the first layer. The pMTJ device includes a free magnet structure on the first layer, where the free magnet structure includes a first magnet and a second magnet on the first magnet. The pMTJ device further includes a fixed magnet above the free magnet structure and a tunnel barrier layer between the magnet structure and the third magnet and a second electrode coupled with the second magnet.

Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to a system, apparatus, and/or process for producing a spin orbit torque (SOT) electrode that includes a first layer with a first side to couple with a free layer of a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) and a second layer coupled with a second side of the first layer opposite the first side, where a value of an electrical resistance in the first SOT layer is lower than a value of an electrical resistance in the second SOT layer and where a current applied to the SOT electrode is to cause current to preferentially flow in the first SOT layer to cause a magnetic polarization of the free layer to change directions. During production of the SOT electrode, the second layer may act as an etch stop.

Abstract: A memory device includes a first electrode including a spin-orbit material, a magnetic junction on a portion of the first electrode and a first structure including a dielectric on a portion of the first electrode. The first structure has a first sidewall and a second sidewall opposite to the first sidewall. The memory device further includes a second structure on a portion of the first electrode, where the second structure has a sidewall adjacent to the second sidewall of the first structure. The memory device further includes a first conductive interconnect above and coupled with each of the magnetic junction and the second structure and a second conductive interconnect below and coupled with the first electrode, where the second conductive interconnect is laterally distant from the magnetic junction and the second structure.

Abstract: A spin orbit memory device includes a material layer stack on a spin orbit electrode. The material layer stack includes a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) and a synthetic antiferromagnetic (SAF) structure on the MTJ. The SAF structure includes a first magnet structure and a second magnet structure separated by an antiferromagnetic coupling layer. The first magnet structure includes a first magnet and a second magnet separated by a single layer of a non-magnetic material such as platinum. The second magnet structure includes a stack of bilayers, where each bilayer includes a layer of platinum on a layer of a magnetic material such.
