    Abstract: Spin Torque Transfer (STT) memory cell structures and methods are described herein. One or more STT memory cell structures comprise a STT stack including: a pinned ferromagnetic material in contact with an antiferromagnetic material; a tunneling barrier material positioned between a ferromagnetic storage material and the pinned ferromagnetic material; a multiferroic material in contact with the ferromagnetic storage material; and a first electrode and a second electrode, wherein the antiferromagnetic material, the pinned ferromagnetic material, and the ferromagnetic storage material are located between the first electrode and the second electrode. The STT memory cell structure can include a third electrode and a fourth electrode, wherein at least a first portion of the multiferroic material is located between the third and the fourth electrode.

    Abstract: A method for measuring overlay between an interest level and a reference level of a wafer includes applying a magnetic field to a wafer, detecting at least one residual magnetic field emitted from at least one registration marker of a first set of registration markers within the wafer, responsive to the detected one or more residual magnetic fields, determining a location of the at least one registration marker of the first set registration markers, determining a location of at least one registration marker of a second set of registration markers, and responsive to the respective determined locations of the at least one registration marker of the first set of registration markers and the at least one registration marker of the second set of registration markers, calculating a positional offset between an interest level of the wafer and a reference level of the wafer. Related methods and systems are also disclosed.

    Abstract: Memory cells are disclosed. Magnetic regions within the memory cells include an alternating structure of magnetic sub-regions and coupler sub-regions. The coupler material of the coupler sub-regions antiferromagnetically couples neighboring magnetic sub-regions and effects or encourages a vertical magnetic orientation exhibited by the neighboring magnetic sub-regions. Neighboring magnetic sub-regions, spaced from one another by a coupler sub-region, exhibit oppositely directed magnetic orientations. The magnetic and coupler sub-regions may each be of a thickness tailored to form the magnetic region in a compact structure. Interference between magnetic dipole fields emitted from the magnetic region on switching of a free region in the memory cell may be reduced or eliminated. Also disclosed are semiconductor device structures, spin torque transfer magnetic random access memory (STT-MRAM) systems, and methods of fabrication.
