摘要: A high-amplitude magnetic angle sensor is described along with a process for its manufacture. A thin tantalum nitride hard mask, used to pattern the device, is left in place within the completed structure but, by first converting most of it to tantalum oxide, its effect on current shunting is greatly reduced.

摘要: An MTJ cell without footings and free from electrical short-circuits across a tunneling barrier layer is formed by using a Ta hard mask layer and a combination of etches. A first etch patterns the Ta hard mask, while a second etch uses O2 applied in a single high power process at two successive different power levels. A first power level of between approximately 200 W and 500 W removes BARC, photoresist and Ta residue from the first etch, the second power level, between approximately 400 W and 600 W continues an etch of the stack layers and forms a protective oxide around the etched sides of the stack. Finally, an etch using a carbon, hydrogen and oxygen gas completes the etch while the oxide layer protects the cell from short-circuits across the lateral edges of the barrier layer.

摘要: This invention is about a method to enhance memory retention and its application to language learning and other learning processes that require memorization of old content learned in an earlier time. The method uses a memory retention function R˜t(d-D) to iteratively calculate when next review (or repeat) is needed before the previously learned content is likely forgotten, where the R is percentage (%) of memory retention after a time span t, and d is a parameter relating to fractal dimension of the activated neurons participating in the learning process in human brain. This invention provides an effective way for students to learn a new language or to memorize new thing learned previously.

摘要: This invention provides polarization independent magnetooptic switches. Input optical signals are switched to different output ports via polarization manipulation utilizing magnetically switchable Faraday rotators, polarization beam splitters (PBS) and polarization beam combiners (PBC). The Faraday rotators are Bi-substituted magnetic garnet with small coercivity, and PBS/PBC made from birefringence crystals. The switching Faraday rotator is mounted inside a soft magnetic ferrite core, which is magnetized by an electric coil outside. To ensure a high switching speed, the selected ferrite core exhibits high frequency characteristic. Based on the same principle of polarization manipulation, a latching magnetooptic switch (only a current pulse is required) can be built using a latchable Faraday rotator as a switching control unit. The advantages of these magnetooptic switches are high speed (˜&mgr;s or faster), low insertion loss, low PDL and PMD, compactness in size, no moving parts and no liquid in the device.

摘要: The invention comprises a method of forming a novel magnetic pinning structure having a (100) textured or cube-textured reference layer through a non-epitaxial texturing approach so that an excellent coherent tunneling effect is achieved in a pMTJ element due to its texture structure of CoFe BCC (100)/MgO rocksalt (100)/CoFe BCC (100). Correspondingly, a high MR ratio and a high pinning strength on the reference layer can be achieved for perpendicular spin-transfer-torque magnetic-random-access memory (pSTT-MRAM) using perpendicular magnetoresistive elements as basic memory cells which potentially replace the conventional semiconductor memory used in electronic chips, especially mobile chips for power saving and non-volatility.

Further, there is provided a toggle writing method of the perpendicular magnetoresistive element comprises: applying a first write pulse having a first voltage magnitude and a first pulse width to reverse the adjacent-bias layer magnetization direction to be anti-parallel to the free layer magnetization direction by spin-transfer-torque effect, and applying a second write pulse having a second voltage magnitude and a second pulse width to reverse the free layer magnetization direction to be parallel to the adjacent-bias layer magnetization direction by voltage-controlled magnetic anisotropy effect under the magnetic dipole bias field from the adjacent-bias layer.
