    摘要: The present disclosure provides a magnetic memory element. The memory element includes a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) element and an electrode. The electrode includes a pinning layer, a pinned layer, and a non-magnetic conductive layer. In one embodiment, the MTJ element includes a first surface having a first surface area, and the electrode includes a second surface. In the embodiment, the second surface of the electrode is coupled to the first surface of the MTJ element such that an interface area is formed and the interface area is less than the first surface area.

    摘要: Disclosed herein is a technique for created an advanced MRAM array for constructing a memory integrated circuit chip. More specifically, the disclosed principles provide for an integrated circuit memory chip comprised of a combination of at least one of an array of high-speed magnetic memory cells, and at least one of an array of high-density magnetic memory cells. Accordingly, a memory chip constructed as disclosed herein provides the benefit of both high-speed and high-density memory cells on the same memory chip. As a result, applications benefiting from the use of (or perhaps even needing) high-speed memory cells are provided by the memory cells in the high-speed memory cell array.

    摘要: The present disclosure provides a non-volatile memory device. A memory device includes a first magnetic element having a fixed magnetization. The memory device also includes a second magnetic element having a non-fixed magnetization. The memory device further includes a barrier layer between the first and second magnetic elements. A unidirectional current source is electrically coupled to the first and second magnetic elements. The current source is configured to provide a first current to the first and second memory elements. The first current has a first current density and is in a first direction. The current source is also configured to provide a second current to the first and second magnetic elements. The second current has a second current density, different than the first current density, and is in the first direction. The first and second currents cause the non-fixed magnetization of the second magnetic element to toggle between substantially parallel to the fixed magnetization of the first magnetic element and between substantially antiparallel to the fixed magnetization of the first magnetic element.
