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 data storage device includes a resistive cross point array of memory cells. Each memory cell includes a memory element and a resistive element connected in series with the memory element. The resistive elements substantially attenuate any sneak path currents flowing through shorted memory elements during read operations. The data storage device may be a Magnetic Random Access Memory (“MRAM”) device.

摘要: A magnetic memory cell having read-write conductor that is wholly clad with a high magnetic permeability soft magnetic material for a pinned-on-the-fly soft ferromagnetic reference layer is disclosed. The magnetic memory cell includes a ferromagnetic data layer, an intermediate layer formed on the ferromagnetic data layer, and a soft ferromagnetic reference layer having a non-pinned orientation of magnetization formed on the intermediate layer. The soft ferromagnetic reference layer includes a read-write conductor and a ferromagnetic cladding that completely surrounds the read-write conductor to form a cladded read-write conductor. During a read operation, a read current flowing through the read-write conductor generates a read magnetic field that does not saturate the ferromagnetic cladding. During a write operation, a write current flowing through the read-write conductor generates a write magnetic field that saturates the ferromagnetic cladding and extends to the ferromagnetic data layer.

摘要: A stabilized magnetic memory cell including a data storage layer having an interior region and a pair of end regions near a pair of opposing edges of the data storage layer and a stabilizing material that pins a magnetization in the end regions to a predetermined direction. A method for stabilizing a magnetic memory cell includes the steps of applying a magnetic field that rotates a magnetization in a pair of opposing side regions of a data storage layer of the magnetic memory cell toward a predetermined direction and that reduces free poles in a pair of opposing end regions of the magnetic memory cell, thereby reducing the likelihood of unpredictable switching behavior in the end regions.
