    摘要: Spin torque magnetic memory elements that have a pinned layer, two free layers, and a current-blocking insulating layer proximate to at least one of the free layers. The resistive state (e.g., low resistance or high resistance) of the memory elements is altered by passing electric current through the element in one direction. In other words, to change from a low resistance to a high resistance, the direction of electric current is the same as to change from a high resistance to a low resistance. The elements have a unidirectional write scheme.

    摘要: A spin oscillator device generates a microwave output in response to an applied DC current. The device includes a spin momentum transfer (SMT) stack including a top electrode, a free layer, a nonmagnetic layer, a pinned magnetic structure, and a bottom electrode. A local magnetic field source adjacent the SMT stack applies a local magnetic field to the free layer to cause the magnetization direction of the free layer to be oriented at a tilt angle with respect to plane of the free layer. The local magnetic field source can include coils or an electromagnet structure, or permanent magnets in close proximity to the SMT stack.

    摘要: Write verify methods for resistance random access memory (RRAM) are provided. The methods include applying a reset operation voltage pulse across a RRAM cell to change a resistance of the RRAM cell from a low resistance state to a high resistance state and applying a forward resetting voltage pulse across the RRAM cell if the RRAM cell has a high resistance state resistance value less than a selected lower resistance limit value. The method also includes applying a reverse resetting voltage pulse across the RRAM cell if the RRAM cell has a high resistance state resistance values is greater than a selected upper resistance limit value. The reverse resetting voltage pulse has a second polarity being opposite the first polarity.

    摘要: A memory unit includes a giant magnetoresistance cell electrically coupled between a write bit line and a write source line. The giant magnetoresistance cell includes a free magnetic layer separated from a first pinned magnetic layer by a first non-magnetic electrically conducting layer. A magnetic tunnel junction data cell is electrically coupled between a read bit line and a read source line. The magnetic tunnel junction data cell includes the free magnetic layer separated from a second pinned magnetic layer by an oxide barrier layer. A write current passes through the giant magnetoresistance cell to switch the giant magnetoresistance cell between a high resistance state and a low resistance state. The magnetic tunnel junction data cell is configured to switch between a high resistance state and a low resistance state by magnetostatic coupling with the giant magnetoresistance cell, and be read by a read current passing though the magnetic tunnel junction data cell.
