Abstract: A method of fabricating magnetoresistive random access memory, including providing a substrate, forming a bottom electrode layer, a magnetic tunnel junction stack, a top electrode layer and a hard mask layer sequentially on the substrate, wherein a material of the top electrode layer is titanium nitride, a material of the hard mask layer is tantalum or tantalum nitride, and a percentage of nitrogen in the titanium nitride gradually decreases from a top surface of top electrode layer to a bottom surface of top electrode layer, and patterning the bottom electrode layer, the magnetic tunnel junction stack, the top electrode layer and the hard mask layer into multiple magnetoresistive random access memory cells.

Abstract: A physical layer (PHY) is coupled to a serial, differential link that is to include a number of lanes. The PHY includes a transmitter and a receiver to be coupled to each lane of the number of lanes. The transmitter coupled to each lane is configured to embed a clock with data to be transmitted over the lane, and the PHY periodically issues a blocking link state (BLS) request to cause an agent to enter a BLS to hold off link layer flit transmission for a duration. The PHY utilizes the serial, differential link during the duration for a PHY associated task selected from a group including an in-band reset, an entry into low power state, and an entry into partial width state.
