    Abstract: A magnetic memory device may include a perpendicular magnetic structure, an in-plane magnetic structure, a free magnetic pattern between the perpendicular magnetic structure and the in-plane magnetic structure, and a tunnel barrier pattern between the perpendicular magnetic structure and the free magnetic pattern. The perpendicular magnetic structure may include at least one pinned pattern which has a perpendicular magnetization direction that is pinned to a specific direction, and the free magnetic pattern may have a switchable perpendicular magnetization direction. The in-plane magnetic structure may include a first magnetic pattern and a second magnetic pattern, and each of the first and second magnetic patterns may have a different respective in-plane magnetization direction.

    Abstract: A method for providing a magnetic junction usable in a magnetic device and the magnetic junction are described. The method includes providing a free layer, a pinned layer and a nonmagnetic spacer layer between the free layer and the pinned layer. The free layer is switchable between a plurality of stable magnetic states when a write current is passed through the magnetic junction. At least one of the step of providing the free layer includes a first plurality of steps and the step of providing the pinned layer includes a second plurality of steps. The first and second plurality of steps include depositing a portion of a layer, depositing a sacrificial layer, annealing the portion of the magnetic junction under the sacrificial layer, and depositing a remaining portion of the layer. The layer may be the free layer, the pinned layer, or both.

    Abstract: A magnetic junction usable in a magnetic device and a method for providing the magnetic junction are described. The magnetic junction includes a free layer, a pinned layer and nonmagnetic spacer layer between the free and pinned layers. The free layer is switchable between a plurality of stable magnetic states when a write current is passed through the magnetic junction. The pinned layer has a perpendicular magnetic anisotropy energy greater than an out-of-plane demagnetization energy. The nonmagnetic spacer layer and the free layer are between the pinned layer and the substrate. The pinned layer has a pinned layer perpendicular magnetic anisotropy energy greater than a pinned layer out-of-plane demagnetization energy and a thickness of not more than thirty Angstroms.
