    摘要: One embodiment of a magnetic memory cell includes a first line and a sense layer in electrical communication with the first line. A reference layer line is configured to carry a sense current received from the sense layer. The sense current flows from the first line through the sense layer and away from the memory cell via the reference layer to determine a resistive state of the memory cell.

    摘要: A thermally written magnetic memory device is disclosed. The thermally written magnetic memory device includes a plurality of thermally written magnetic tunnel junction devices. Each thermally written magnetic tunnel junction device includes a super-paramagnetically stable data layer. The data layer includes a high coercivity at a read temperature such that a bit of data previously written to the data layer at a higher write temperature can be read from the data layer at the read temperature. The data layer has a low coercivity at the higher write temperature and data is written to the data layer at the higher write temperature. Therefore, at the lower read temperature, the thermally written magnetic memory device is a read only non-volatile memory and the data stored therein can be read many times but new data cannot be written to the data layer at the read temperature.
