MAGNETIC TUNNEL JUNCTION WITH AN ETCHED BOTTOM ELECTRODE HAVING NON-PLANAR SIDEWALLS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17544150 titled 'MAGNETIC TUNNEL JUNCTION WITH AN ETCHED BOTTOM ELECTRODE HAVING NON-PLANAR SIDEWALLS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract of the patent application describes a structure that includes a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) element and an etched bottom electrode (BE) that is connected to the MTJ element. The etched BE has a non-planar sidewall.

  • The structure includes a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) element and an etched bottom electrode (BE).
  • The etched BE is communicatively coupled to the MTJ element.
  • The etched BE has a substantially non-planar sidewall.

Potential Applications:

  • Magnetic storage devices
  • Magnetic sensors
  • Spintronics devices

Problems Solved:

  • Improves the performance and efficiency of magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) elements.
  • Enhances the communication between the etched bottom electrode (BE) and the MTJ element.
  • Provides a structure with a non-planar sidewall for better functionality.

Benefits:

  • Improved performance and efficiency of magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) elements.
  • Enhanced communication between the etched bottom electrode (BE) and the MTJ element.
  • Better functionality due to the non-planar sidewall of the etched BE.


Original Abstract Submitted

Embodiments of the invention are directed to a structure comprising a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) element and an etched bottom electrode (BE) communicatively coupled to the MTJ element. The etched BE includes a substantially non-planar BE sidewall.
