Abstract: A magnetoresistive random-access memory cell includes a templating layer. The templating layer includes a binary alloy having an alternating layer lattice structure. The cell further includes a half metallic half-Heusler layer including a half metallic half-Heusler material having a tetragonal lattice structure. The half metallic half-Heusler layer is located outward of the templating layer, and has a half-Heusler in-plane lattice constant that is different from an in-plane lattice constant in a cubic form of the half metallic half-Heusler material. A tunnel barrier is located outward of the half metallic half-Heusler layer, and a magnetic layer is located outward of the tunnel barrier.

Abstract: A magnetic random access memory (MRAM) stack, a method of fabricating a MRAM stack, a MRAM array, and a computer system. The MRAM stack includes a first magnetic layer comprising a Heusler compound. The MRAM stack also includes one or more seed layers including a templating structure having a crystalline structure configured to template the Heusler compound. The magnetic layer is formed over the templating structure. The MRAM stack also includes a chromium (Cr) layer formed under the templating structure. The Cr layer is configured to enhance a tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR) of the MRAM stack.

Abstract: A magnetic random access memory (MRAM) stack, a method of fabricating a MRAM stack, a MRAM array, a computer system, and an MRAM device. The MRAM stack includes a first magnetic layer including a Heusler compound. The MRAM stack also includes one or more seed layers including a multi-layer templating structure that includes a crystalline structure configured to template the Heusler compound and enhance a tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR) of the MRAM stack. The first magnetic layer is formed over the multi-layer templating structure. The multi-layer templating structure includes a layer of a first binary alloy including tungsten-aluminum (WAl), and a layer of a second binary alloy having a cesium-chloride (CsCl) structure. The second binary alloy overlays the first binary alloy.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are provided for MRAM devices utilizing spin transfer torque. A device includes a substrate; an MTJ formed over the substrate, the MTJ including a reference layer, a tunnel barrier layer, and a free layer; and a PSM layer formed over the free layer of the MTJ. The PSM layer, i.e., a chiral material layer, may be formed adject to a free layer (or adjacent to a TBL, which is adjacent to the free layer) of the MTJ, providing an additional source of spin-transfer-torque, and providing MTJ devices that are operable with lower switching current.

Abstract: A magnetic structure, a magnetic device incorporating the magnetic structure and a method for providing the magnetic structure are described. The magnetic structure includes a magnetic layer, a templating structure and a resistive insertion layer. The magnetic layer includes a Heusler compound and has a perpendicular magnetic anisotropy energy exceeding an out-of-plane demagnetization energy. The templating structure has a crystal structure configured to template at least one of the Heusler compound and the resistive insertion layer. The magnetic layer is on the templating structure. The resistive insertion layer is configured to reduce magnetic damping for the Heusler compound and allow for templating of the Heusler compound.
