MAGNETIC TUNNEL JUNCTION INCLUDING HEXAGONAL MULTI-LAYERED STRUCTURE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17688196 titled 'MAGNETIC TUNNEL JUNCTION INCLUDING HEXAGONAL MULTI-LAYERED STRUCTURE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes integrated circuit devices that consist of multiple layers, including a first magnetic layer, a second magnetic layer, and a tunnel barrier layer with a hexagonal crystal structure. The first magnetic layer is made up of a multi-layered structure of nCo/mX, where n and m are numbers of atomic layers and X can be Ni, Ag, Au, Pt, Pd, or Cu. The first magnetic layer is magnetic at room temperature and also has a hexagonal crystal structure.

  • The patent application describes integrated circuit devices with specific layer compositions and crystal structures.
  • The first magnetic layer is made up of a multi-layered structure of nCo/mX, where n and m are numbers of atomic layers.
  • The tunnel barrier layer has a hexagonal crystal structure and is positioned between the first and second magnetic layers.
  • The first magnetic layer is magnetic at room temperature and also has a hexagonal crystal structure.
  • X in the first magnetic layer can be Ni, Ag, Au, Pt, Pd, or Cu.
  • The values of n and m can range within specific limits.

Potential Applications

  • This technology can be used in integrated circuit devices, such as memory devices or logic devices.
  • It can be applied in various electronic devices, including computers, smartphones, and tablets.

Problems Solved

  • The patent application addresses the need for integrated circuit devices with specific layer compositions and crystal structures.
  • It solves the problem of achieving a magnetic first layer that is stable at room temperature and has a hexagonal crystal structure.

Benefits
