Abstract: A spin orbit torque magnetoresistive random access memory (SOT MRAM) includes at least a spin current source alloy layer, a ferromagnetic free layer, and an insulation layer. The spin current source alloy layer is a nickel-tungsten alloy layer. The ferromagnetic free layer is located on the spin current source alloy layer. The insulation layer is located on the ferromagnetic free layer. Since the nickel-tungsten alloy layer has favorable perpendicular magnetic anisotropic and can maintain a high spin Hall angle, it is suitable as a spin current source for the SOT MRAM.

Abstract: Implementations described herein provide various implementations of gate based alignment patterns for semiconductor process alignment of a substrate on which semiconductor devices are manufactured. In some implementations described herein, a gate based alignment pattern may be included in an alignment mark region in a semiconductor device that is manufactured on the substrate. The alignment mark region may include a plurality of gate structures that are etched to form gate based alignment pattern. The use of the gate based alignment pattern may reduce the likelihood of and/or may prevent the gate based alignment pattern from becoming obscured or covered by residual material byproducts from one or more semiconductor processing operations that are performed to form various layers and/or structures of the semiconductor device.
