    Abstract: Disclosed herein are toggle-mode magnetoresistive random access memory (MRAM) devices having small-angle toggle write lines, and related methods of toggle-mode switching MRAM devices. Also disclosed are layouts for MRAM devices constructed according to the disclosed principles. Generally speaking, the disclosed principles provide for non-orthogonally aligned toggle-mode write lines used to switch toggle-mode MRAM devices that employ a bias field to decrease the threshold needed to switch the magnetic state of each device. While the conventional toggle-mode write lines provide for the desired orthogonal orientation of the applied magnetic fields to optimize device switching, the use of a bias field affects this orthogonal orientation. By non-orthogonally aligning the two write lines as disclosed herein, the detrimental affect of the bias field may be compensated for such that the net fields applied to the device for both lines are again substantially orthogonal, as is desired.

    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: An improved magnetoresistive memory device has a reduced distance between the magnetic memory element and a conductive memory line used for writing to the magnetic memory element. The reduced distance is facilitated by forming the improved magnetoresistive memory device according to a method that includes forming a mask over the magnetoresistive memory element and forming an insulating layer over the mask layer, then removing portions of the insulating layer using a planarization process. A conductive via can then be formed in the mask layer, for example using a damascene process. The conductive memory line can then be formed over the mask layer and conductive via.

    Abstract: A membrane for vacuum suction of a silicon water typically used inside a polishing head. The membrane has a flat main body and a plurality of protrusions each having a spiny shape over the surface of the flat main body. The protrusions are formed in positions that correspond to the holes of a supporting multiple-hole panel. The protrusions on the flat main body lower the suction pressure between the wafer and the membrane somewhat so that wafer unloading failure is minimized.
