Abstract

See full text

A magnetic device and method for programming the magnetic device are described. The magnetic device includes a plurality of magnetic junctions and at least one spin-orbit interaction (SO) active layer having a plurality of sides id='REI-00001' date='20240109' and an axisid='REI-00001' . The SO active layer(s) carry a current in direction(s) substantially id='REI-00002' date='20240109' perpendicular to the plurality of sidesid='REI-00002' id='REI-00003' date='20240109' along the axisid='REI-00003' . Each of the magnetic junction(s) is adjacent to the sides and substantially surrounds a portion of the SO active layer. Each magnetic junction includes a free layer, a reference layer and a nonmagnetic spacer layer between the pinned and free layers. The SO active layer(s) exert a SO torque on the free layer due to the current passing through the SO active layer(s). The free layer is switchable between stable magnetic states. The free layer may be written using the current and, in some aspects, another current driven through the magnetic junction.
