    摘要: An apparatus and associated method for a non-volatile memory cell, such as an STRAM cell. In accordance with various embodiments, a magnetic free layer is laterally separated from an antiferromagnetic layer (AFM) by a non-magnetic spacer layer and medially separated from a synthetic antiferromagnetic layer (SAF) by a magnetic tunneling junction. The AFM pins the magnetization of the SAF through contact with a pinning region of the SAF that laterally extends beyond the magnetic tunneling junction.

    摘要: A magnetic writer includes a write element and an oscillation device disposed adjacent to the write element. The first oscillation device includes a first magnetic layer, a second magnetic layer having a magnetization vector including a component perpendicular to a major plane of the first magnetic layer. The first nonmagnetic layer disposed between the first magnetic layer and the second magnetic layer. The first oscillation device generates a high-frequency oscillation field when a current is directed perpendicular to the major plane of the first magnetic layer.

    摘要: Apparatus and method for managing an array of multi-level cell (MLC) memory cells. In accordance with various embodiments, a non-sequential encoding scheme is selected that assigns a different multi-bit logical value to each of a plurality of available physical states of a selected MLC memory cell in relation to write effort associated with each of said plurality of physical states. Data are thereafter written to the selected MLC memory cell in relation to the selected non-sequential encoding scheme. In some embodiments, the MLC memory cell comprises a spin-torque transfer random access memory (STRAM) memory cell. In other embodiments, the MLC memory cell comprises an MLC flash memory cell.

    摘要: A reticle sorter and a semiconductor fabrication facility employing one or more reticle sorters is provided. The reticle sorter(s) generally lies between a reticle storage system and a group of one or more photolithography exposure tools (e.g., steppers) and is configured for sorting reticles in one or more cassettes. The use of the reticle sorter provides sorting functionality apart from the reticle storage system and typically closer to the group of photolithography steppers with which it is associated. This can, for example, significantly increase the throughput of semiconductor wafers through the associated photolithography exposure tools as well as in the semiconductor fabrication plant as a whole.
