    摘要: There are provided a magnetic tunnel junction structure and a method of fabricating the same. The magnetic tunnel junction structure includes a lower electrode, a lower magnetic layer pattern and a tunnel layer pattern, which are sequentially formed on the lower electrode. The magnetic tunnel junction structure further includes an upper magnetic layer pattern, a buffer layer pattern, and an upper electrode, which are sequentially formed on a portion of the tunnel layer pattern. The sidewall of the upper magnetic layer pattern is surrounded by an oxidized upper magnetic layer, and the sidewall of the buffer layer pattern is surrounded by an oxidized buffer layer. The depletion of the upper magnetic layer pattern and the lower magnetic layer pattern in the magnetic tunnel junction region can be prevented by the oxidized buffer layer.

    摘要: A method of writing to magnetic random access memory (MRAM) devices is provided. The method includes preparing a digit line disposed on a semiconductor substrate, a bit line crossing over the digit line, and a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) interposed between the digit line and the bit line. The MTJ has a pinned layer, a tunneling insulating layer, and a synthetic anti-ferromagnetic (SAF) free layer which are sequentially stacked. In addition, the SAF free layer has a bottom free layer and a top free layer which are separated by an exchange spacer layer. An initial magnetization state of the MTJ is read and compared with a desired magnetization state. When the initial magnetization state is different from the desired magnetization state, a first write line pulse is applied to one of the digit line and the bit line, and a second write line pulse is applied to the other of the digit line and the bit line, thereby changing the magnetization state of the MTJ. The MTJ may be disposed at an angle equal to or greater than 0° and less than 90° to a line to which the second write line pulse is applied.
