Abstract: A semiconductor device includes an inter-layer dielectric (ILD) layer, a first metallization pattern, an etch stop layer, a metal-containing compound layer, a memory cell, and a second metallization pattern. The first metallization pattern is in the ILD layer. The etch stop layer is over the ILD layer. The metal-containing compound layer is over the etch stop layer, in which the etch stop layer has a portion extending beyond an edge of the metal-containing compound layer. The memory cell is over the metal-containing compound layer and including a bottom electrode, a resistance switching element over the bottom electrode, and a top electrode over the resistance switching element. The second metallization pattern extends through the portion of the etch stop layer to the first metallization pattern.

Abstract: A magnetic memory device includes a spin-orbit torque (SOT) induction spin Hall electrode and a free layer of a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) stack disposed on the spin Hall electrode which is a synthetic anti-ferromagnetic structure. The free layer has a magnetic moment which is askew of the long axis of the MTJ stack and askew the direction of current flow through the spin Hall electrode. The MTJ stack internally generates a magnetic field to switch the state of the free layer. The free layer includes a first layer separated from a second layer by a spacer layer, where the first layer and the second layer may have the same or different crystalline structures.

Abstract: A magnetic memory device includes a spin-orbit torque (SOT) induction structure which may be strained and seedless and formed with a perpendicular magnetic anisotropy. A magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) stack is disposed over the SOT induction structure. A spacer layer may decouple layers between the SOT induction structure and the MTJ stack or decouple layers within the MTJ stack. One end of the SOT induction structure may be coupled to a first transistor and another end of the SOT induction structure coupled to a second transistor.
