    摘要: An apparatus for applying Oersted fields to a magnetic memory device comprises a first metal layer; a first insulating layer positioned on the first metal layer; a magnetic shift register wire positioned on the first insulating layer; a second insulating layer positioned on the magnetic shift register wire; a second metal layer positioned on the second insulating layer; a first conducting wire positioned in the first metal layer and extending transverse to the magnetic shift register wire; and a second conducting wire positioned in the second metal layer and extending transverse to the magnetic shift register wire. The first conducting wire is offset relative to the second conducting wire, the offset being defined by a distance between a first axis normal to the magnetic shift register wire and through the first conducting wire and a second axis normal to the magnetic shift register wire and through the second conducting wire.

    摘要: Methods of forming the MRAM generally include forming an array of MTJ having sub-lithographic dimensions. The array can be formed by providing a substrate including a MTJ material stack including a reference ferromagnetic layer, a tunnel barrier layer, and a free ferromagnetic layer on an opposite side of the tunnel barrier layer. A hardmask layer is deposited onto the MTJ material stack. A first sidewall spacer is formed on the hardmask layer in a first direction. A second sidewall spacer is formed over the first sidewall in a second direction, wherein the first direction is orthogonal to the second direction. The second sidewall spacer intersects the first sidewall spacer. The first sidewall spacer is processed using the second sidewall spacer as mask to form a pattern of oxide pillars having sub-lithographic dimensions. The pattern of oxide pillars are transferred into the MTJ stack to form the array.
