    摘要: A method of making a memristor having an embedded switching layer include exposing a surface portion of a first electrode material within a via to a reactive species to form the switching layer embedded within and at surface of the via. The via is in contact with a first conductor trace. The method further includes depositing a layer of a second electrode material adjacent to the via surface and patterning the layer into a column aligned with the via. The method further includes depositing an interlayer dielectric material to surround the column and providing a second conductor trace in electrical contact with the second electrode material of the column.

    摘要: An exemplary array of thermally-assisted magnetic memory structures includes a plurality of magnetic memory elements, each magnetic memory element being near a diode. A diode near a selected magnetic memory element can be heated by absorbing energy from a radio frequency electromagnetic field. The heated diode can be used to elevate the temperature of the selected magnetic memory element to thermally assist in switching the magnetic state of the magnetic memory element upon application of a write current.

    摘要: A coupled ferromagnetic structure includes a first ferromagnetic layer, a spacer layer on a first surface of the first ferromagnetic layer, and a second ferromagnetic layer on the spacer layer. Interlayer exchange coupling occurs between the first and second ferromagnetic layers. The coupling may be ferromagnetic or antiferromagnetic. Morphology of the first surface is modified to tailor the interlayer exchange coupling. The structure may form a part of a magnetoresistive device such as a magnetic tunnel junction.
