MAGNETIC MEMORY DEVICES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18308401 titled 'MAGNETIC MEMORY DEVICES

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a magnetic memory device with a lower contact plug structure for improved performance and reliability.

  • The device includes a substrate, data storage pattern, and a lower contact plug.
  • The lower contact plug consists of a lower insulating pattern, lower contact pattern, and lower barrier pattern.
  • The lower barrier pattern extends along the lower and side surfaces of the lower insulating and contact patterns, providing enhanced protection and connectivity.

Potential Applications

  • Data storage devices
  • Magnetic memory systems
  • Computer hardware

Problems Solved

  • Improved performance and reliability of magnetic memory devices
  • Enhanced protection of contact plug structures
  • Better connectivity between substrate and data storage pattern

Benefits

  • Increased data storage capacity
  • Faster data access speeds
  • Longer device lifespan


Original Abstract Submitted

A magnetic memory device may include a substrate, an data storage pattern disposed on the substrate, and a lower contact plug between the substrate and the data storage pattern, the lower contact plug may include a lower insulating pattern, a lower contact pattern on the lower insulating pattern, and a lower barrier pattern extending along a lower surface and a side surface of the lower insulating pattern and a side surface of the lower contact pattern.
