    Abstract: A method of forming a magnetic random access memory (MRAM) device includes forming at least one write line, forming a first insulating layer over the at least one write line and forming a heating line on the first insulating layer. The method includes forming at least one tunnel junction above the at least one write line, the at least one tunnel junction connected to the heating line, forming a second insulating layer on the heating line and forming heat current supply vias at each end of the current line. The method further includes forming heat current supply lines connected to each heat current supply via and forming at least one read line above the at least one tunnel junction and physically connected to the at least one tunnel junction.

    Abstract: A memory device that includes a first magnetic insulating tunnel barrier reference layer present on a first non-magnetic metal electrode, and a free magnetic metal layer present on the first magnetic insulating tunnel barrier reference layer. A second magnetic insulating tunnel barrier reference layer may be present on the free magnetic metal layer, and a second non-magnetic metal electrode may be present on the second magnetic insulating tunnel barrier. The first and second magnetic insulating tunnel barrier reference layers are arranged so that their magnetizations are aligned to be anti-parallel.

    Abstract: A magneto-resistance random access memory (MRAM) cell includes a transistor, a wire and a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ). The MTJ includes a fixed layer of fixed magnetic polarity electrically connected with the transistor, a free layer of variable magnetic polarity electrically connected with the wire and an insulator between the fixed and free layers. First current passed through the wire destabilizes the variable magnetic polarity of the free layer. Second current passed through the transistor in one of two directions during first current passage through the wire directs the variable magnetic polarity of the free layer toward a parallel or anti-parallel condition with respect to the fixed magnetic polarity of the fixed layer. A ceasing of the first current prior to a ceasing of the second current sets the variable magnetic polarity of the free layer in the parallel or anti-parallel condition.

    Abstract: Techniques relate to forming a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ). A synthetic antiferromagnetic reference layer is adjacent to a tunnel barrier layer. The synthetic antiferromagnetic reference layer includes a first magnetic layer, a second magnetic layer, and a reference spacer layer sandwiched between the first magnetic layer and the second magnetic layer. A magnetic free layer is adjacent to the tunnel barrier layer so as to be opposite the synthetic antiferromagnetic reference layer. The synthetic antiferromagnetic reference layer has a thickness of at least one of 3 nanometers (nm), 4 nm, and 3-4 nm.
