Material layer stack structures to provide a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) having improved perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) characteristics. In an embodiment, a free magnetic layer of the material layer stack is disposed between a tunnel barrier layer and a cap layer of magnesium oxide (Mg). The free magnetic layer includes a Cobalt-Iron-Boron (CoFeB) body substantially comprised of a combination of Cobalt atoms, Iron atoms and Boron atoms. A first Boron mass fraction of the CoFeB body is equal to or more than 25% (e.g., equal to or more than 27%) in a first region which adjoins an interface of the free magnetic layer with the tunnel barrier layer. In another embodiment, the first Boron mass fraction is more than a second Boron mass fraction in a second region of the CoFeB body which adjoins an interface of the free magnetic layer with the cap layer.

Spin transfer torque memory (STTM) devices incorporating a field plate for application of an electric field to reduce a critical current required for transfer torque induced magnetization switching. Embodiments utilize not only current-induced magnetic filed or spin transfer torque, but also electric field induced manipulation of magnetic dipole orientation to set states in a magnetic device element (e.g., to write to a memory element). An electric field generated by a voltage differential between an MTJ electrode and the field plate applies an electric field to a free magnetic layer of a magnetic tunneling junction (MTJ) to modulate one or more magnetic properties over at least a portion of the free magnetic layer.

Embodiments of the present disclosure describe multi-device flexible systems on a chip (SOCs) and methods for making such SOCs. A multi-material stack may be processed sequentially to form multiple integrated circuit (IC) devices in a single flexible SOC. By forming the IC devices from a single stack, it is possible to form contacts for multiple devices through a single metallization process and for those contacts to be located in a common back-plane of the SOC. Stack layers may be ordered and processed according to processing temperature, such that higher temperature processes are performed earlier. In this manner, intervening layers of the stack may shield some stack layers from elevated processing temperatures associated with processing upper layers of the stack. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
