Abstract: A magnetic memory device includes a conductive line extending in a first direction, and a magnetic track extending in the first direction on the conductive line. The magnetic track includes a lower magnetic layer, a spacer layer and an upper magnetic layer sequentially stacked on the conductive line, and a non-magnetic pattern on the spacer layer and adjacent a side of the upper magnetic layer. The non-magnetic pattern vertically overlaps with a portion of the lower magnetic layer. The lower magnetic layer and the upper magnetic layer are antiferromagnetically coupled to each other by the spacer layer.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are provided for MRAM devices utilizing spin transfer torque. A device includes a substrate; an MTJ formed over the substrate, the MTJ including a reference layer, a tunnel barrier layer, and a free layer; and a PSM layer formed over the free layer of the MTJ. The PSM layer, i.e., a chiral material layer, may be formed adject to a free layer (or adjacent to a TBL, which is adjacent to the free layer) of the MTJ, providing an additional source of spin-transfer-torque, and providing MTJ devices that are operable with lower switching current.

Abstract: A magnetic random access memory (MRAM) stack, a method of fabricating a MRAM stack, a MRAM array, a computer system, and a MRAM device. The MRAM stack includes a first magnetic layer including a Heusler compound. The MRAM stack also includes one or more seed layers including a templating structure that includes a crystalline structure configured to template the Heusler compound. The first magnetic layer is formed over the templating structure. The templating structure includes a layer of a first binary alloy including platinum-aluminum (PtAl).

Abstract: A magnetoresistive random-access memory cell includes a substrate; a sub-monolayer nitride layer, outward of the substrate, having a sub-monolayer nitride layer thickness less than 10 Angstroms; and a templating layer, outward of the sub-monolayer nitride layer, and including a binary alloy having an alternating layer lattice structure. A Heusler layer is located outward of the templating layer. The Heusler layer includes a Heusler compound and exhibits perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA). A tunnel barrier is outward of the Heusler layer, and a magnetic layer is outward of the tunnel barrier. In an alternative aspect, instead of the sub-monolayer nitride layer, a tantalum nitride layer with a thickness of ≤10 Angstroms+10% is employed.

Abstract: A magnetic memory device includes a magnetic track extending in a first direction. The magnetic track includes a lower magnetic layer, an upper magnetic layer on the lower magnetic layer, a non-magnetic pattern on the lower magnetic layer and at a side of the upper magnetic layer, and a spacer layer between the lower magnetic layer and the upper magnetic layer and extending between the lower magnetic layer and the non-magnetic pattern. The lower magnetic layer and the upper magnetic layer are antiferromagnetically coupled to each other by the spacer layer. The non-magnetic pattern has a first surface and a second surface which are opposite to each other in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. A junction surface between the non-magnetic pattern and the upper magnetic layer is inclined with respect to a reference surface perpendicular to the first surface and the second surface.

Abstract: A magnetic memory device may include a magnetic track that extends in a first direction. The magnetic track may include a lower magnetic layer that extends in the first direction, an upper magnetic layer that extends in the first direction on the lower magnetic layer, a spacer layer that extends in the first direction between the lower magnetic layer and the upper magnetic layer, and a non-magnetic pattern that penetrates the upper magnetic layer and is on the spacer layer. The non-magnetic pattern has a first junction surface that is in contact with a first portion of the upper magnetic layer, and a second junction surface that is in contact with a second portion of the upper magnetic layer. The lower magnetic layer and the upper magnetic layer are antiferromagnetically coupled to each other by the spacer layer.
