Original Abstract Submitted

A method of manufacturing a double magnetic tunnel junction device includes forming a first magnetic tunnel junction stack, forming a spin conducting layer on the first magnetic tunnel junction stack, forming a metallic ring layer on the sides of the spin conducting layer; and forming a second magnetic tunnel junction stack on the spin conducting layer. The second magnetic tunnel junction stack has a width that is greater than the width of the first magnetic tunnel junction stack. A double magnetic tunnel junction device includes a first magnetic tunnel junction stack, a spin conducting layer on the first magnetic tunnel junction stack, a metallic ring layer on the sides of the spin conducting layer; and a second magnetic tunnel junction stack on the spin conducting layer. The second magnetic tunnel junction stack has a width that is greater than the width of the first magnetic tunnel junction stack.
