    摘要: A two-transistor one-MTJ (2T1MTJ) three port structure includes two separate pin layer structures coupled to one free layer structure. The pin layer structures may include an anti-ferromagnetic layer (AFM) layer coupled to a pin layer. The free layer structure includes free layer coupled to a barrier layer and a cap layer. The free layer structure may include a thin barrier layer coupled to each of the pin layer stacks. The three port MTJ structure provides separate write and read paths which improve read sensing margin without increasing write voltage or current. The three port MTJ structure may be fabricated with a simple two step MTJ etch process.

    摘要: A magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) with direct contact is manufactured having lower resistances, improved yield, and simpler fabrication. The lower resistances improve both read and write processes in the MTJ. The MTJ layers are deposited on a bottom electrode aligned with the bottom metal. An etch stop layer may be deposited adjacent to the bottom metal to prevent overetch of an insulator surrounding the bottom metal. The bottom electrode is planarized before deposition of the MTJ layers to provide a substantially flat surface. Additionally, an underlayer may be deposited on the bottom electrode before the MTJ layers to promote desired characteristics of the MTJ.

    摘要: A method writes data to a resistive memory, such as spin torque transfer magnetic random access memory (STT-MRAM). The method writes received bits of data to a memory cell array, in response to a first write signal. The method also reads stored data from the memory cell array, after the first write signal is generated, and then compares the stored data with the received bits of data to determine whether each of the received bits of data was written to the memory. In response to a second write signal, received bits of data determined not to have been written during the first write signal, are written.
