    Abstract: Magnetic Tunnel Junction (MTJ) devices particularly suited for efficient spin-torque-transfer (STT) magnetic random access memory (MRAM) (STT MRAM) are disclosed. In one aspect, a MTJ structure with a reduced thickness first pinned layer provided below a tunnel magneto-resistance (TMR) barrier layer is provided. The first pinned layer provided below the TMR bather layer includes one pinned layer magnetized in only one magnetic orientation. In another aspect, a second pinned layer and a spacer layer are provided above a free layer and the TMR barrier layer in the MTJ. The second pinned layer is magnetized in a magnetic orientation that is anti-parallel to that of the first pinned layer. In yet another aspect, a giant magneto-resistance (GMR) spacer layer is provided as the spacer layer between the second pinned layer and the free layer in the MTJ.

    Abstract: A magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) device includes a pinned layer, a tunnel barrier layer on the pinned layer, and a free layer on the tunnel barrier layer. The MTJ device also includes a perpendicular magnetic anisotropic (PMA) enhancement layer on the free layer, a capping layer on the PMA enhancement layer, and a conductive path electrically shorting the capping layer, the PMA enhancement layer and the free layer. A method of fabricating a perpendicular magnetic tunnel junction (pMTJ) device includes forming a capping layer, a perpendicular magnetic anisotropic (PMA) enhancement layer and a free layer. The method also includes forming a conductive layer to short the capping layer, the PMA enhancement layer and the free layer.
