摘要: A switchable magnetic device comprising a first ferromagnetic material or layer comprising or consisting of a first rare earth nitride alloy, the first rare earth nitride alloy including at least two lanthanide species; a second ferromagnetic material or layer comprising or consisting of a second rare earth nitride alloy, the second rare earth nitride alloy including at least two lanthanide species; a blocking material or layer located between the first and second ferromagnetic materials or layers. The first and second ferromagnetic materials or layers have different coercive fields to permit independent control of a magnetic alignment of the first and second ferromagnetic materials or layers; and a remanent magnetic moment of the first ferromagnetic material or layer and a remanent magnetic moment of the second ferromagnetic material or layer spatially restrict or confine a peripheral magnetic field generated when the first and second ferromagnetic materials or layers are in an anti-aligned magnetic state to permit contrasting peripheral magnetic fields to be generated when the first and second ferromagnetic materials or layers are in anti-aligned and aligned magnetic states.

摘要: The high-density MRAM device of the present invention has a second interlayer dielectric (ILD) layer covering the capping layer in the MRAM cell array area and the logic area. The thickness of the second ILD layer in the MRAM cell array area is greater than that in the logic area. The composition of the second ILD layer in the logic area is different from the composition of the second ILD layer in the MRAM cell array area.

摘要: A memristor includes a first variable conductance element and a second variable conductance element. A minimum value of conductance of the second variable conductance element during reading is larger than a maximum value of conductance of the first variable conductance element during reading. In the memristor, a first read path when the conductance of the first variable conductance element is read merges with a second read path when the conductance of the second variable conductance element is read.

摘要: In a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, a magnetic random access memory (MRAM) cell structure is formed. The MRAM cell structure includes a bottom electrode, a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) stack and a top electrode. A first insulating cover layer is formed over the MRAM cell structure. A second insulating cover layer is formed over the first insulating cover layer. An interlayer dielectric (ILD) layer is formed. A contact opening in the ILD layer is formed, thereby exposing the second insulating cover layer. A part of the second insulating cover layer and a part of the first insulating cover layer are removed, thereby exposing the top electrode. A conductive layer is formed in the opening contacting the top electrode. The second insulating cover layer has an oxygen getter property.

摘要: Provided is a ferromagnetic free layer, comprising Fe, Co, B and an additive metal, and based on a total atomic number of the ferromagnetic free layer, a content of Co is more than 0 at % and less than 30 at %, a content of B is more than 10 at % and less than or equal to 35 at %, and a content of the additive metal is more than or equal to 2 at % and less than 10 at %; the additive metal comprises Mo, Re or a combination thereof, and a thickness of the ferromagnetic free layer is more than or equal to 1.5 nm and less than 2.5 nm. The ferromagnetic free layer can be applied to a MTJ structure as a single layer, and has sufficient thermal stability for maintaining good magnetic properties after thermal treatment, which makes sure that the MTJ structure can exert normal recording function.
