Abstract:
A planar inverted-F antenna for use in a wireless network device comprises a connecting member and two radiators. The connecting member has at least one input end and at least one ground end. Each radiator has a first end portion perpendicularly connected to one of the two ends of the connecting member, and the two radiators are parallel and correspond in shape to each other. Each radiator further has an L-shaped notch and thus forms a barb. A second end portion of each radiator is bent to form an engaging end which is generally parallel to the connecting member and configured to fasten with a substrate of the wireless network device.
Abstract:
Apparatus and methods are disclosed herein for a reverse-connection STT MTJ element of a MRAM to overcome the source degeneration effect when switching the magnetization of the MTJ element from the parallel to the anti-parallel direction. A memory cell of a MRAM having a reverse-connection MTJ element includes a switching device having a source, a gate, and a drain, and a reverse-connection MTJ device having a free layer, a fixed layer, and an insulator layer interposed between the free layer and the fixed layer. The free layer of the reverse-connection MTJ device is connected to the drain of the switching device and the fixed layer is connected to a bit line (BL). The reverse-connection MTJ device applies the lower IMTJ capability of the memory cell caused by the source degeneration effect to the less stringent IMTJ(AP->P) while preserving the higher IMTJ capability for the more demanding IMTJ(P->AP).
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a technique for created an advanced MRAM array for constructing a memory integrated circuit chip. More specifically, the disclosed principles provide for an integrated circuit memory chip comprised of a combination of at least one of an array of high-speed magnetic memory cells, and at least one of an array of high-density magnetic memory cells. Accordingly, a memory chip constructed as disclosed herein provides the benefit of both high-speed and high-density memory cells on the same memory chip. As a result, applications benefiting from the use of (or perhaps even needing) high-speed memory cells are provided by the memory cells in the high-speed memory cell array.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides a non-volatile memory device. A memory device includes a first magnetic element having a fixed magnetization. The memory device also includes a second magnetic element having a non-fixed magnetization. The memory device further includes a barrier layer between the first and second magnetic elements. A unidirectional current source is electrically coupled to the first and second magnetic elements. The current source is configured to provide a first current to the first and second memory elements. The first current has a first current density and is in a first direction. The current source is also configured to provide a second current to the first and second magnetic elements. The second current has a second current density, different than the first current density, and is in the first direction. The first and second currents cause the non-fixed magnetization of the second magnetic element to toggle between substantially parallel to the fixed magnetization of the first magnetic element and between substantially antiparallel to the fixed magnetization of the first magnetic element.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a magnetoresistive structure, for example useful as a spin-valve or GMR stack in a magnetic sensor, and a fabrication method thereof. The magnetoresistive structure uses twisted coupling to induce a perpendicular magnetization alignment between the free layer and the pinned layer. Ferromagnetic layers of the free and pinned layers are exchange-coupled using antiferromagnetic layers having substantially parallel exchange-biasing directions. Thus, embodiments can be realized that have antiferromagnetic layers formed of a same material and/or having a same blocking temperature. At least one of the free and pinned layers further includes a second ferromagnetic layer and an insulating layer, such as a NOL, between the two ferromagnetic layers. The insulating layer causes twisted coupling between the two ferromagnetic layers, rotating the magnetization direction of one 90 degrees relative to the magnetization direction of the other.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is an improved memory device wherein the area occupied by a conventional landing pad is significantly reduced to around 50% to 10% of the area occupied by conventional landing pads. This is accomplished by removing the landing pad from the cell structure, and instead forming a conductive via structure that provides the electrical connection from the memory stack or device in the structure to an under-metal layer. By forming only this via structure, rather than separate vias formed on either side of a landing pad, the overall width occupied by the connective via structure from the memory stack to an under-metal layer is substantially reduced, and thus the via structure and under-metal layer may be formed closer to the memory stack (or conductors associated with the stack) so as to reduce the overall width of the cell structure.
Abstract:
Disclosed is an image-stabilization driving device including a first sliding member connected to an image sensor; a first piezoelectrical element for driving the first sliding member to move linearly along a first direction; a second sliding member connected to the first piezoelectrical element; and a second piezoelectrical element for driving the second sliding member to move linearly along a second direction intersecting with the first direction. The first and second piezoelectrical elements are adapted to drive the image sensor to move in a plane, thereby providing a structurally simple and miniaturized image-stabilization driving device.

A locking member includes a spring-biased button projecting from the cylinder, extending through the abutting member and into the upper chamber, and pressible to move between a locked position, in which, the cylinder is locked by the locking member against axial movement relative to the piston, and an unlocked position, in which, the cylinder is axially movable relative to the piston.
