Abstract: The present disclosure is drawn to, among other things, a magnetoresistive memory. The magnetoresistive memory comprises a plurality of magnetoresistive memory devices, wherein each magnetoresistive memory device includes a fixed magnetic region, a free magnetic region, and an intermediate region disposed in between the fixed and free magnetic regions. The magnetoresistive memory further comprises a first conductor extending adjacent each magnetoresistive memory device of the plurality of magnetoresistive devices, wherein the first conductor is in electrical contact with the free magnetic region of each magnetoresistive memory device.

Abstract: A magnetoresistive memory device that stores data in the synthetic antiferromagnet (SAF) included in each spin-torque memory cell provides for more robust data storage. In normal operation, the memory cells use the free portion of the memory cell for data storage. Techniques for storing data in the reference portions of memory cells are presented, where an unbalanced SAF that includes ferromagnetic layers having different magnetic moments is used to lower the switching barrier for the SAF and allow for writing data values to the SAF using lower currents and magnetic fields than would be required for a balanced SAF.

Abstract: The present disclosure is drawn to, among other things, a magnetoresistive device and a magnetoresistive memory comprising a plurality of such magnetoresistive devices. In some aspects, a magnetoresistive device may include a magnetically fixed region, a magnetically free region above or below the magnetically fixed region, and an intermediate region positioned between the magnetically fixed region and the magnetically free region, wherein the intermediate region includes a first dielectric material. The magnetoresistive device may also include encapsulation layers formed on opposing side walls of the magnetically free region, wherein the encapsulation layers include the first dielectric material.

Abstract: Techniques for recovering preprogrammed data from non-volatile memory are provided that include majority voting and/or use of one or more levels of ECC correction. Embodiments include storage of multiple copies of the data where ECC correction is performed before and after majority voting with respect to the multiple copies. Multiple levels of ECC correction can also be performed where one level of ECC is performed at the local level (e.g. on-chip), whereas another level of ECC correction is performed at a system level.
