Abstract: A thermally stable Magnetic Tunnel Junction (MTJ) cell, and a memory device including the same, include a pinned layer having a pinned magnetization direction, a separation layer on the pinned layer, and a free layer on the separation layer and having a variable magnetization direction. The pinned layer and the free layer include a magnetic material having Perpendicular Magnetic Anisotropy (PMA). The free layer may include a central part and a marginal part on a periphery of the central part. The free layer is shaped in the form of a protrusion in which the central part is thicker than the marginal part.

Abstract: Magnetic memory devices, and methods of operating the same, include a magnetoresistive element including a free layer, a pinned layer, and a separation layer between the free layer and the pinned layer. The devices, and methods, further include a first conductive line connected to the free layer and configured to apply a Rashba field to, or induce the Rashba field in, the free layer, and a second conductive line spaced apart from the free layer and configured to apply an external magnetic field to the free layer. A magnetization direction of the free layer is switchable by application of the Rashba field and the external magnetic field to the free layer.
