  • Patent number: 12156479
    Abstract: A memory device and a manufacturing method thereof are provided. The memory device includes a magnetic tunneling junction (MTJ) and a spin Hall electrode (SHE). The MTJ includes a free layer, a reference layer and a barrier layer lying between the free layer and the reference layer. The SHE is in contact with the MTJ, and configured to convert a charge current to a spin current for programming the MTJ. The SHE is formed of an alloy comprising at least one heavy metal element and at least one light transition metal element. The heavy metal element is selected from metal elements with one or more valence electrons filling in 5d orbitals, and the light transition metal element is selected from transition metal elements with one or more valence electrons partially filling in 3d orbitals.

  • Publication number: 20240313525
    Abstract: An electronic apparatus includes a printed circuit board, a terminal and a surge voltage protection structure. The printed circuit board includes a first plated through hole, a second plated through hole and a ground terminal. The surge voltage protection structure includes the first plated through hole and the second plated through hole. The first plated through hole is electrically connected to the terminal. The second plated through hole is connected to the ground terminal. A gap is defined between the first plated through hole and the second plated through hole. The first plated through hole receives a surge voltage to generate an electric arc across the gap and transmit the electric arc through the gap to the second plated through hole, so that the second plated through hole receives the electric arc to transfer an energy of the electric arc to the ground terminal.
