摘要:
A magnetoresistive random access memory (MRAM) device and a method of manufacture are provided. The MRAM device comprises a magnetic pinned layer, a compound GMR structure acting as a free layer, and a non-magnetic barrier layer separating the pinned and GMR layers. The barrier layer is provided to reduce the magnetic coupling of the free layer and GMR structure, as well as provide a resistive state (high or low) for retaining binary data (0 or 1) in the device. The GMR structure provides physical electrode connectivity for set/clear memory functionality which is separated from the physical electrode connectivity for the read functionality for the memory device.
