Patent attributes
A spin-orbit torque magnetoresistive random-access memory device formed by forming an array of transistors, where a column of the array includes a source line contacting the source contact of each transistor of the column, forming a spin-orbit-torque (SOT) line contacting the drain contacts of the transistors of the row, and forming an array of unit cells, each unit cell including a spin-orbit-torque (SOT) magnetoresistive random access memory (MRAM) cell stack disposed above and in electrical contact with the SOT line, where the SOT-MRAM cell stack includes a free layer, a tunnel junction layer, and a reference layer, a diode structure above and in electrical contact with the SOT-MRAM cell stack, an upper electrode disposed above and in electrical contact with the diode structure.
