Abstract:
A magnetic domain device is provided in which a magnetic free layer (i.e., the storage layer) of a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) pillar is in close proximity to a conductive write line that is disposed beneath the MTJ pillar. The magnetic domain device further includes a pair of spaced apart bottom electrodes located beneath the conductive write line, and a top electrode located on the MTJ pillar. The magnetic domain device can be used in analog memories including multi-bit storage, analog memory for artificial intelligence (AI) applications.
