    Abstract: A perpendicular spin transfer torque memory (pSTTM) device incorporates a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) device having a free magnetic stack and a fixed magnetic stack separated by a dielectric tunneling layer. The free magnetic stack includes an uppermost magnetic layer that is at least partially covered by a cap layer. The cap layer is at least partially covered by a protective layer containing at least one of: ruthenium (Ru); cobalt/iron/boron (CoFeB); molybdenum (Mo); cobalt (Co); tungsten (W); or platinum (Pt). The protective layer is at least partially covered by a cap metal layer which may form a portion of MTJ electrode. The protective layer minimizes the occurrence of physical and/or chemical attack of the cap layer by the materials used in the cap metal layer, beneficially improving the interface anisotropy of the MTJ free magnetic layer.

    Abstract: Disclosed are magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) devices, computing devices, and related methods. An MTJ device includes an MTJ body, an electrode, and a thermal resistor. The thermal resistor is operably coupled between the MTJ body and the electrode. The thermal resistor includes at least one conductive region including an electrically conductive material. A computing device includes a memory device including at least one MTJ device, which in turn includes at least one thermal resistor between an MTJ body and at least one of a pair of electrodes. A method of forming an MTJ device includes forming an MTJ body, forming at least one electrode, and forming at least one electrically conductive thermal resistor between the MTJ body and the at least one electrode.

    Abstract: Approaches for an interconnect cladding process for integrating magnetic random access memory (MRAM) devices, and the resulting structures, are described. In an example, a memory structure includes an interconnect disposed in a trench of a dielectric layer above a substrate, the interconnect including a diffusion barrier layer disposed at a bottom of and along sidewalls of the trench to an uppermost surface of the dielectric layer, a conductive fill layer disposed on the diffusion barrier layer and recessed below the uppermost surface of the dielectric layer and an uppermost surface of the diffusion barrier layer, and a conductive capping layer disposed on the conductive fill layer and between sidewall portions of the diffusion barrier layer. A memory element is disposed on the conductive capping layer of the interconnect.
