Abstract:
A magnetic random access memory (MRAM) cell that includes an MRAM stack and a conductive line for carrying write current associated with the MRAM cell. The conductive line is oriented in a direction that is angularly offset from an easy axis of the MRAM stack by an acute angle, such as about 45 degrees.
Abstract:
A plummet level for checking the horizontal state of a surface and locating two vertically spaced points generally required by wood working in most interior decorative works. The plummet level includes a rectangular main body divided into front and rear compartments for balance beam and weight-loaded swing link, respectively, to mount therein on a central pivot shaft. Two long clear windows are separately provided on walls of the main body facing the balance beam and the swing link. A plurality of spaced and parallel check lines horizontally extend a full length of the windows. A user may visually overlap one of the check lines on the windows and a reference level/vertical line on the balance beam/swing link to check a working surface for its horizontal or vertical state. Two extensible links are connected to two ends of the main body with four right-angled corners defined by an end plate of each extensible link always in alignment with four side walls of the main body, so that the plummet level may be easily extended to conveniently locate and mark a horizontally or vertically corresponding point at a distance longer than the main body of the plummet level.
Abstract:
An MRAM cell including an MRAM cell stack located over a substrate and first and second write lines spanning at least one side of the MRAM cell stack and defining a projected region of intersection of the MRAM cell stack and the first and second write lines. The MRAM cell stack includes a pinned layer, a tunneling barrier layer, and a free layer, the tunneling barrier layer interposing the pinned layer and the free layer. The first write line extends in a first direction within the projected region of intersection. The second write line extends in a second direction within the projected region of intersection. The first and second directions are angularly offset by an angle ranging between 45 and 90 degrees, exclusively. At least one write line may be perpendicular to the easy axis of free layer, while the other line may be rotated off the easy axis of the free layer by an angle which is larger than zero, such as to compensate for a shifting astroid curve.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides an improved magnetic memory cell. The magnetic memory cell includes a switching element and two magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) devices. A conductor connects the first and second MTJ devices in a parallel configuration, and serially connecting the parallel configuration to an electrode of the switching element. The resistance of the first MTJ device is different from the resistance of the second.
Abstract:
A magnetic random access memory (MRAM) cell including an MRAM cell stack located over a substrate and first and second write lines spanning opposing termini of the MRAM cell stack. At least one of the first and second write lines includes at least one first portion spanning the MRAM cell stack and at least one second portion proximate the MRAM cell stack. The first and second portions have first and second cross-sectional areas, respectively, wherein the first cross-sectional area is substantially less than the second cross-sectional area.
Abstract:
A memory cell structure. A first conductive line is cladded by at least two first ferromagnetic layers respectively having a first easy axis and a second easy axis, a nano oxide layer located between the first ferromagnetic layers, and a first pinned ferromagnetic layer. The first and second easy axes are 90 degree twisted-coupled with the first easy axis parallel to the length of the first conductive line and the second easy axis perpendicular to the length of the first conductive line. A storage device is adjacent to the first conductive line, receiving a magnetic field generated from a current flowing through the first conductive line.

Abstract:
A method and system is disclosed for directing charged particles on predetermined areas on a target semiconductor substrate. After aligning a wafer mask with a semiconductor wafer, with the wafer mask having one or more mask patterns thereon, the charged particles are directed to pass through the mask patterns to land on one or more selected areas on the semiconductor wafer.
