    摘要: Embodiments are directed to STT MRAM devices. One embodiment of an STT MRAM device includes a reference layer, a tunnel barrier layer, a free layer and one or more conductive vias. The reference layer is configured to have a fixed magnetic moment. In addition, the tunnel barrier layer is configured to enable electrons to tunnel between the reference layer and the free layer through the tunnel barrier layer. The free layer is disposed beneath the tunnel barrier layer and is configured to have an adaptable magnetic moment for the storage of data. The conductive via is disposed beneath the free layer and is connected to an electrode. Further, the conductive via has a width that is smaller than a width of the free layer such that a width of an active STT area for the storage of data in the free layer is defined by the width of the conductive via.

    摘要: A spin-torque based memory device includes a write portion including a fixed ferromagnetic spin-polarizing layer, a spin-transport layer having a spin accumulation region formed above the fixed ferromagnetic spin-polarizing layer. The memory device further includes a read portion in electrical contact with the spin-transport layer. The read portion includes a free layer magnet, a read non-magnetic layer, and a reference layer. The memory device further includes a metal contact region formed overlying the read portion and a nonlinear resistor formed between an upper surface of the spin transport layer and the metal contact region and modulating write and read current paths depending on an applied voltage, thereby creating different current paths for write and read processes.
