摘要: 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.

摘要: Gate-all-around integrated circuit structures having molybdenum nitride metal gates and gate dielectrics with a dipole layer are described. For example, an integrated circuit structure includes a first vertical arrangement of horizontal nanowires, and a second vertical arrangement of horizontal nanowires. A first gate stack is over the first vertical arrangement of horizontal nanowires, the first gate stack having a P-type conductive layer on a first gate dielectric. The P-type conductive layer includes molybdenum and nitrogen. A second gate stack is over the second vertical arrangement of horizontal nanowires, the second gate stack having an N-type conductive layer on a second gate dielectric.

摘要: A memory device includes a perpendicular magnetic tunnel junction (pMTJ) stack, between a bottom electrode and a top electrode. In an embodiment, the pMTJ includes a fixed magnet, a tunnel barrier above the fixed magnet and a free magnet structure on the tunnel barrier. The free magnet structure includes a first free magnet on the tunnel barrier and a second free magnet above the first free magnet, wherein at least a portion of the free magnet proximal to an interface with the free magnet includes a transition metal. The free magnet structure having a transition metal between the first and the second free magnets advantageously improves the switching efficiency of the MTJ, while maintaining a thermal stability of at least 50 kT.

摘要: Systems, apparatus, and methods for magnetoresitive memory are described. An apparatus for magnetoresitive memory includes a fixed layer, a free layer, and a tunneling barrier between the fixed layer and the free layer. The free layer is a new alloy consisting of a composition of Cobalt (Co), Iron (Fe), and Boron (B) intermixed with a non-magnetic metal according to a ratio. A thin insert layer of CoFeB may optionally be added between the alloy and the tunneling barrier.

摘要: A material layer stack for a pSTTM device includes a fixed magnetic layer, a tunnel barrier disposed above the fixed magnetic layer and a free layer disposed on the tunnel barrier. The free layer further includes a stack of bilayers where an uppermost bilayer is capped by a magnetic layer including iron and where each of the bilayers in the free layer includes a non-magnetic layer such as Tungsten, Molybdenum disposed on the magnetic layer. In an embodiment, the non-magnetic layers have a combined thickness that is less than 15% of a combined thickness of the magnetic layers in the stack of bilayers. A stack of bilayers including non-magnetic layers in the free layer can reduce the saturation magnetization of the material layer stack for the pSTTM device and subsequently increase the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy.

摘要: An apparatus, includes an interconnect, including a conductive material, above a substrate and a resistive random access memory (RRAM) device coupled to the interconnect. The RRAM device includes an electrode structure above the interconnect, where an upper portion of the electrode structure has a first width.
