摘要:
Disclosed herein is a magnetoresistive structure having a non-planar form. Embodiments of the present MR structure includes those having at least one inflection between a first portion of the MR structure that is somewhat vertical relative to a substrate and a second portion of the MR structure that is somewhat horizontal relative to the substrate. Such a structure can be used for memory device, for example an MRAM memory device, wherein the memory density is increased compared to devices having prior planar MR structures without reducing the surface area of the MR structures.
