    Abstract: A thermal spin torque transfer magnetoresistive random access memory (MRAM) apparatus includes a magnetic tunnel junction and a tunnel junction programming circuit. The magnetic tunnel junction includes a reference layer having a fixed magnetic polarity, a tunnel barrier layer, and a free layer on an opposite side of the tunnel barrier layer from the reference layer. The free layer includes a first layer having a first Curie temperature and a second layer having a second Curie temperature different from the first Curie temperature. The tunnel junction programming circuit is configured to apply a current through the magnetic tunnel junction to generate a write temperature in the magnetic tunnel junction and to write to the free layer of the magnetic tunnel junction.

    Abstract: Embodiments of present invention provide a magnetoresistive random-access-memory (MRAM). The MRAM includes a reference layer; a tunnel barrier layer of magnesium-oxide (MgO); and a free layer, where the free layer includes a first cobalt-iron-boron (CoFeB) layer on top of the tunnel barrier layer; a spacer layer on top of the first CoFeB layer; a second CoFeB layer on top of the spacer layer; and a capping layer of MgO on top of the second CoFeB layer. Additionally, the first and the second CoFeB layer are substantially depleted of boron (B) to include respectively a first region adjacent to the tunnel barrier layer and the capping layer respectively and a second region adjacent to the spacer layer, where the first regions of the first and the second CoFeB layer include crystallized cobalt-iron (CoFe) and the second regions of the first and the second CoFeB layer include amorphous CoFe alloy.

    Abstract: A planar magnetic structure includes a closed loop structure having a plurality of core segments divided into at least two sets. A coil is formed about one or more core segments. A first antiferromagnetic layer is formed on a first set of core segments, and a second antiferromagnetic layer is formed on a second set of core segments. The first and second antiferromagnetic layers include different blocking temperatures and have an easy axis pinning a magnetic moment in two different directions, wherein when current flows through the coil, the magnetic moments rotate to form a closed magnetic loop in the closed loop structure.

    Abstract: A multilayered magnetic free layer structure is provided that includes a first magnetic free layer and a second magnetic free layer separated by a non-magnetic layer in which the second magnetic free layer has a lower perpendicular magnetic anisotropy field, Hk, as compared with the first magnetic free layer. The multilayered magnetic free layer structure of the present application substantially reduces the switching current needed to reorient the magnetization of the two magnetic free layers. The lower Hk value of the second magnetic free layer as compared to the first magnetic free layer improves the switching speed of the second magnetic free layer and thus reduces, and even eliminates, write errors.

    Abstract: A magnetoresistive random access memory (MRAM) including spin-transfer torque (STT) MRAM is provided that has enhanced data retention. The enhanced data retention is provided by constructing a MTJ pillar having a temperature-independent Delta, where Delta is Delta=Eb/kt, wherein Eb is the activation energy, k is the Boltzmann's constant, and T is the absolute temperature. Notably, the present application provides a way for EB to actually increase with temperature, which can cancel the effect of the term kT, resulting in a temperature independent Delta.
