Abstract: Magnetic tunnel junction devices are provided. A magnetic tunnel junction device includes a pinned layer. The magnetic tunnel junction device includes a free layer on the pinned layer. The free layer includes a first layer, a second layer that is on the first layer, and a third layer that is between the first layer and the second layer. A Curie temperature of the third layer is lower than a Curie temperature of the first layer and lower than a Curie temperature of the second layer. Moreover, the magnetic tunnel junction device includes an insulating layer that is between the pinned layer and the free layer. Related magnetoresistive memory devices are also provided.

Abstract: A soft error rate (SER) associated with a design of a semiconductor circuit may be predicted based on implementing a simulation associated with the design. The simulation may include generating a simulation environment based on information indicating the design, performing a particle strike simulation based on the simulation environment to generate charge deposition information, and calculating a collected charge quantity from the charge deposition information. A determination may be made whether the SER predicted based on the collected charge quantity at least meets a threshold. The design may be modified, and the simulation repeated, if the predicted SER value meets a threshold value. A semiconductor circuit may be manufactured based on the design if the predicted SER value is less than the threshold value.
