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: Techniques for forming OTP memory elements with reduced breakdown voltage are provided. In one aspect, a method of forming an OTP MRAM element includes the steps of: creating a substrate having surface topology; and forming the OTP MRAM element on the substrate over the surface topology, wherein the OTP MRAM element comprises a first magnetic metal layer and a second metal magnetic layer separated by a tunnel barrier, and wherein by forming the OTP MRAM element over the surface topology the tunnel barrier has both a first thickness T1 and second thickness T2, wherein T1 is greater than T2. A method of forming a device having both MTP MRAM and OTP MRAM elements is provided, as is an MRAM device.

Abstract: A mechanism is provided for fabricating a thermally assisted magnetoresistive random access memory device. A bottom thermal barrier is formed on a bottom contact. A magnetic tunnel junction is formed on the bottom thermal barrier. The magnetic tunnel junction includes a top ferromagnetic layer formed on a tunnel barrier. The tunnel barrier is formed on a bottom ferromagnetic layer. A top thermal barrier is formed on the top ferromagnetic layer. A top contact is formed on the top thermal barrier. The top contact is reduced to a first diameter. The tunnel barrier and the bottom ferromagnetic layer each have a second diameter. The first diameter of the top contact is smaller than the second diameter.

Abstract: Magnetoresistive random access memory (MRAM) devices and methods for making the same include growing a tunnel barrier layer on a first magnetic layer. A thin layer of non-wetting material is formed on the tunnel barrier layer, such that the non-wetting material forms distinct regions on the tunnel barrier layer. A second magnetic layer is grown on the tunnel barrier layer.
