    Abstract: High speed precessionally switched magnetic logic devices and architectures are described. In a first example, a magnetic logic device includes an input electrode having a first nanomagnet and an output electrode having a second nanomagnet. The spins of the second nanomagnet are non-collinear with the spins of the first nanomagnet. A channel region and corresponding ground electrode are disposed between the input and output electrodes. In a second example, a magnetic logic device includes an input electrode having an in-plane nanomagnet and an output electrode having a perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) magnet. A channel region and corresponding ground electrode are disposed between the input and output electrodes.

    Abstract: An embodiment provides power (having low voltage, high current, and high current density) to ultra low voltage non-CMOS based devices using a distributed capacitor that is integrated onto the same chip as the non-CMOS devices. For example, an embodiment provides a spin logic gate adjacent dielectric material and first and second plates of a capacitor. The capacitor discharges low voltage/high current to the spin logic gate using a step down switched mode power supply that charges numerous capacitors during one clock cycle (using a switching element configured in a first orientation) and discharges power from the capacitors during the opposite clock cycle (using the switching element configured in a second orientation). The capacitors discharge the current out of plane and to the spin logic devices without having to traverse long power dissipating interconnect paths. Other embodiments are described herein.

    Abstract: One embodiment includes a metal layer including first and second metal portions; a ferromagnetic layer including a first ferromagnetic portion that directly contacts the first metal portion and a second ferromagnetic portion that directly contacts the second metal portion; and a first metal non-magnetic interconnect coupling the first ferromagnetic portion to the second ferromagnetic portion. The spin interconnect conveys spin polarized current suitable for spin logic circuits. The interconnect may be included in a current repeater such as an inverter or buffer. The interconnect may perform regeneration of spin signals. Some embodiments extend spin interconnects into three dimensions (e.g., vertically across layers of a device) using vertical non-magnetic metal interconnects. Spin interconnects that can communicate spin current without repeated conversion of the current between spin and electrical signals enable spin logic circuits by reducing power requirements, reducing circuit size, and increasing circuit speed.
