    摘要: A magnetic memory device which comprises a magnetic memory cell that includes a magnetic material switchable between two resistive states on the application of a magnetic field. The device also comprises a wire that is connected to the magnetic memory cell and has a conductive connecting link and a conductive word or bit line which are electrically connected to each other. The connecting link is disposed between the word or bit line and the magnetic memory cell and has a thermal resistance that is larger than that of the word or bit line so as to provide a barrier for heat conduction from the magnetic memory cell to the word or bit line.

    摘要: A write line structure for a magnetic memory cell includes a write conductor having a front surface facing the memory cell, a back surface and two sides surfaces. A cladding layer is disposed adjacent a portion of the front surface of the write conductor, with the cladding layer terminating at spaced first and second poles adjacent the front surface of the write conductor. A data storage layer is operatively positioned adjacent the cladding layer. The distance between the poles is less than the width of the write conductor. The width of the data storage layer may be greater than or less than the distance between the poles.

    摘要: A method for cladding two or three sides of a top conductor for a magnetic memory device in ferromagnetic material includes forming a trench with side walls in a coating layer above the memory device. A first ferromagnetic material is deposited along the side walls of the trench. Any ferromagnetic material in a bottom of the trench can be removed. A conductor material is deposited in the trench over the memory device. A second ferromagnetic material is deposited over the conductor material in the trench to form a cladding of the ferromagnetic material around three side of the conductor.

    摘要: A memory device includes dual tunnel junction memory cells having a magnetic tunnel junction in series with a tunnel junction. The magnetic tunnel junction can be changed from a first resistance state to a second resistance state during a write operation. The magnetic tunnel junction can have a differing resistance-voltage characteristic than the tunnel junction, and the differing resistance-voltage characteristics allow the magnetic tunnel junction to be blown without blowing the tunnel junction during a write operation. The change in resistance state of the magnetic tunnel junction changes the resistance of the selected memory cell, which is detectable during a read operation.
