    摘要: A magnetic sensor suitable for sensing an external magnetic field includes a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) device. The MTJ device is used to sense an out-of-plane (Z-axis) component of the external magnetic field at a perpendicular direction to the MTJ device. The MTJ device includes a first pinned magnetic layer, a tunnel layer and a magnetic sensing layer. The first pinned magnetic layer has a pinned magnetization perpendicular to the first pinned magnetic layer. The tunnel layer is disposed on the first pinned magnetic layer. The magnetic sensing layer is disposed on the tunnel layer. The magnetic sensing layer has a critical thickness set to be within a range having a superparamagnetic property, in which an out-of-plane (Z-axis) magnetic sensitivity is larger than an in-plane (X-axis, Y-axis) magnetic sensitivity. The first pinned magnetic layer, the tunnel layer and the magnetic sensing layer are stacked in a forward sequence or a reverse sequence.

    摘要: A reader for magnetic shift register is provided. The reader includes a magnetic reference layer, a tunneling layer, a magnetic canceling layer and an isolated layer. The magnetic reference layer and the magnetic canceling layer are respectively configured at different sides of a magnetic track for providing anti-parallel magnetic fields. The magnetic reference layer overlaps the magnetic canceling layer in a perpendicular direction of the magnetic track. The magnetic reference layer electrically connects to a readout circuit. The magnetic canceling layer is floating. The tunneling layer is configured between the magnetic reference layer and the magnetic track for providing a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ). The isolated layer is configured between the magnetic canceling layer and the magnetic track for avoiding a current in the magnetic track from tunneling to the magnetic canceling layer.

    摘要: A method of forming a self-aligned contact via for a MRAM is disclosed. A first conductive layer, a pinned layer, a tunneling barrier layer, a free layer, a capping layer and a first dielectric layer are formed sequentially over a substrate has formed lots of transistors and interconects. A portion of the first dielectric layer and the capping layer are removed until a surface of the free layer is exposed. A portion of the pinned layer, the tunneling barrier layer and the free layer are removed to form a MRAM device. A second dielectric layer is formed over the magnetic random access memory device. A planarization process is performed to form a planar surface of the second dielectric layer. The first dielectric layer and a portion of the second dielectric layer are removed to form a self-aligned contact opening. A second conductive layer is filled into the self-aligned contact opening.

    摘要: A magnetic shift register memory includes at least a magnetic memory track, in which multiple domain walls separate the memory track into multiple magnetic domains to serve as magnetic memory cells. A fixed number of the magnetic memory cells forms a memory unit to store a burst data. A read/write device is implemented between the memory units to read or write the burst data to the magnetic memory cells passing the read/write device. A flag unit records a flag value for each memory track or each memory unit to indicate whether the burst data is located at a first side or a second side of the read/write device. A current unit provides an operation current to the magnetic memory track according to the flag value to move the domain walls to pass the read/write device. After the read/write device reads or writes the burst data, the flag value is updated.
