    摘要: A conductive line for programming a magnetoresistive memory device which includes a metal interconnect region positioned proximate to a magnetoresistive random access memory device, wherein the metal interconnect region supplies a current which produces a magnetic field and wherein the metal interconnect region includes a metal layer with a length and a width and has a first side, a second side, a third side, and a fourth side wherein a ferromagnetic cladding region with a thickness is positioned on the first side, the second side, the third side, and the fourth side of the metal layer, and wherein the ferromagnetic cladding region positioned on the first side has a trench having a length less than the length of the metal layer and a width approximately equal to the thickness of the ferromagnetic of the magnetic cladding region. The length of the trench can be changed to adjust the magnitude of the magnetic field.

    摘要: A memory device includes a memory stack formed on a substrate to program skyrmions within at least one layer of the stack. The skyrmions represent logic states of the memory device. The memory stack further includes a top and bottom electrode to receive electrical current from an external source and to provide the electrical current to the memory stack. A free layer stores a logic state of the skyrmions in response to the electrical current. A Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) Interaction (DMI) layer in contact with the free layer induces skyrmions in the free layer. A tunnel barrier is interactive with the DMI layer to facilitate detection of the logic state of the skyrmions in response to a read current. At least one fixed magnetic (FM) layer is positioned within the memory stack to facilitate programming of the skyrmions within the free layer in response to the electrical current.

    摘要: A spin-transfer MRAM bit includes a free magnet layer positioned between a pair of spin polarizers, wherein at least one of the spin polarizers comprises an unpinned synthetic antiferromagnet (SAF). The SAF may include two antiparallel fixed magnet layers separated by a coupling layer. To improve manufacturability, the layers of the SAF may be non-symmetrical (e.g., having different thicknesses or different inherent anisotropies) to assist in achieving proper alignment during anneal. The total magnetic moment of the SAF may be greater than that of the free magnet layer.

    摘要: A magnetic random access memory (“MRAM”) device can be selectively written using spin-transfer reflection mode techniques. Selectivity of a designated MRAM cell within an MRAM array is achieved by the dependence of the spin-transfer switching current on the relative angle between the magnetizations of the polarizer element and the free magnetic element in the MRAM cell. The polarizer element has a variable magnetization that can be altered in response to the application of a current, e.g., a digit line current. When the magnetization of the polarizer element is in the natural default orientation, the data in the MRAM cell is preserved. When the magnetization of the polarizer element is switched, the data in the MRAM cell can be written in response to the application of a relatively low write current.

    摘要: A direct write is provided for a magnetoelectronics information device that includes producing a first magnetic field with a first field magnitude in proximity to the magnetoelectronics information device at a first time (t1). Once this first magnetic field with the first magnitude is produced, a second magnetic field with a second field magnitude is produced in proximity to the magnetoelectronics information device at a second time (t2). The first magnetic field is adjusted to provide a third magnitude at a third time (t3) that is less than the first field magnitude and greater than zero, and the second magnetic field is adjusted to provide a fourth field magnitude at a fourth time (t4) that is less than the second field magnitude. This direct write is used in conjunction with other direct writes and also in combination with toggle writes to write the MRAM element without an initial read.
