    摘要: A magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) device for a magnetic random access memory (MRAM) in a semiconductor back-end-of-line (BEOL) process flow includes a first metal interconnect for communicating with at least one control device and a first electrode for coupling to the first metal interconnect through a via formed in a dielectric passivation barrier using a first mask. The device also includes an MTJ stack for storing data coupled to the first electrode, a portion of the MTJ stack having lateral dimensions based upon a second mask. The portion defined by the second mask is over the contact via. A second electrode is coupled to the MTJ stack and also has a same lateral dimension as defined by the second mask. The first electrode and a portion of the MTJ stack are defined by a third mask. A second metal interconnect is coupled to the second electrode and at least one other control device.

    摘要: A system and method of manufacturing and using a magnetic tunnel junction device is disclosed. In a particular embodiment, a magnetic tunnel junction device includes a first free layer and second free layer. The magnetic tunnel junction also includes a spin torque enhancement layer. The magnetic tunnel junction device further includes a spacer layer between the first and second free layers that includes a material and has a thickness that substantially inhibits exchange coupling between the first and second free layers. The first and second free layers are magneto-statically coupled.

    摘要: A two-transistor one-MTJ (2T1MTJ) three port structure includes two separate pin layer structures coupled to one free layer structure. The pin layer structures may include an anti-ferromagnetic layer (AFM) layer coupled to a pin layer. The free layer structure includes free layer coupled to a barrier layer and a cap layer. The free layer structure may include a thin barrier layer coupled to each of the pin layer stacks. The three port MTJ structure provides separate write and read paths which improve read sensing margin without increasing write voltage or current. The three port MTJ structure may be fabricated with a simple two step MTJ etch process.
