Abstract:
A memory allocation method and apparatus is disclosed in which the macro blocks are grouped into a plurality block sets and stored in the memory as block set. By grouping and storing the macro blocks, an efficient reading of the data is achieved.
Abstract:
A magnetic device can include a tunnel bather and a hybrid magnetization layer disposed adjacent the tunnel barrier. The hybrid magnetization layer can include a first perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) layer, a second PMA layer, and an amorphous blocking layer disposed between the first and second PMA layers. The first PMA layer can include a multi-layer film in which a first layer formed of Co and a second layer formed of Pt or Pd are alternately stacked. A first dopant formed of an element different from those of the first and second layers can also be included in the first PMA layer. The second PMA layer can be disposed between the first PMA layer and the tunnel barrier, and can include at least one element selected from a group consisting of Co, Fe, and Ni.
Abstract:
Provided are a perpendicular magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ), a magnetic device including the same, and a method of manufacturing the MTJ, the perpendicular MTJ includes a lower magnetic layer; a tunnelling layer on the lower magnetic layer; and an upper magnetic layer on the tunnelling layer. One of the upper and lower magnetic layers includes a free magnetic layer that exhibits perpendicular magnetic anisotropy, wherein the magnetizing direction of the free magnetic layer is changed by a spin polarization current. A polarization enhancing layer (PEL) and an exchange blocking layer (EBL) are stacked between the tunnelling layer and the free magnetic layer.
