    Abstract: In a particular aspect, an apparatus includes a magnetic random access memory (MRAM) cell including a pair of cross coupled inverters including a first inverter and a second inverter. The first inverter includes a first transistor coupled to a first node and a second transistor coupled to the first node. The second inverter includes a third transistor coupled to a second node and a fourth transistor coupled to the second node. The MRAM cell includes a first magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) element coupled to the second transistor and a second MTJ element coupled to the fourth transistor. The apparatus further includes a voltage initialization circuit coupled to the MRAM cell. The voltage initialization circuit is configured to substantially equalize voltages of the first node and the second node in response to an initialization signal.

    Abstract: Perpendicular magnetic tunnel junction (pMTJ) devices employing a pinned layer stack with a thin top anti-parallel (AP2) layer and having a transitioning layer providing a transitioning start to a body-centered cubic (BCC) crystalline/amorphous structure below the top anti-parallel (AP2) layer, to promote a high tunnel magnetoresistance ratio (TMR) with reduced pinned layer thickness are disclosed. A first anti-parallel (AP) ferromagnetic (AP1) layer in a pinned layer has a face-centered cubic (FCC) or hexagonal closed packed (HCP) crystalline structure. A transitioning material (e.g., Iron (Fe)) is provided in a transitioning layer between the AP1 layer and an AFC layer (e.g., Chromium (Cr)) that starts a transition from a FCC or HCP crystalline structure, to a BCC crystalline/amorphous structure. In this manner, a second AP ferromagnetic (AP2) layer disposed on the AFC layer can be provided in a reduced thickness BCC crystalline or amorphous structure to provide a high TMR with a reduced pinned layer thickness.

    Abstract: Magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) memory bit cells that decouple source line layout from access transistor node size to facilitate reduced contact resistance are disclosed. In one example, an MTJ memory bit cell is provided that includes a source plate disposed above and in contact with a source contact for a source node of an access transistor. A source line is disposed above and in electrical contact with the source plate to electrically connect the source line to the source node. The source plate allows the source line to be provided in a higher metal level from the source and drain contacts of the access transistor such that the source line is not in physical contact with (i.e., decoupled from) the source contact. This allows pitch between the source line and drain column to be relaxed from the width of the source and drain nodes without having to increase contact resistance.
