    Abstract: A method is provided for healing reset errors for a magnetic memory using destructive read with selective write-back, including for example, a self-referenced read of spin-torque bits in an MRAM. Memory cells are prepared for write back by one of identifying memory cells determined in error using an error correcting code and inverting the inversion bit for those memory cells determined in error identifying memory cells determined in error using an error correcting code and resetting a portion of the memory cells to the first state; and resetting one or more memory cells to the first state.

    Abstract: The present disclosure is drawn to, among other things, a configuration bit including at least four resistive elements and a voltage amplifier. At least two first resistive elements may be electrically connected in series via a first electrode and at least two second resistive elements may be electrically connected in series via a second electrode. The at least two first resistive elements may be electrically connected in parallel to the at least two second resistive elements via a third electrode and a fourth electrode. The first electrode and the second electrode may be electrically connected to a voltage supply. The third electrode and the fourth electrode may be electrically connected to an input of the voltage amplifier.

    Abstract: A magnetoresistive element (e.g., a spin-torque magnetoresistive memory element) includes a fixed magnetic layer, a free magnetic layer, having a high-iron alloy interface region located along a surface of the free magnetic layer, wherein the high-iron alloy interface region has at least 50% iron by atomic composition, and a first dielectric, disposed between the fixed magnetic layer and the free magnetic layer. The magnetoresistive element further includes a second dielectric, having a first surface that is in contact with the surface of the free magnetic layer, and an electrode, disposed between the second dielectric and a conductor. The electrode includes: (i) a non-ferromagnetic portion having a surface that is in contact with a second surface of the second dielectric, and (ii) a second portion having at least one ferromagnetic material disposed between the non-ferromagnetic portion of the electrode and the conductor.
