Publication number: 20070171736Abstract: A method for repairing a shorted tunnel device includes the step of applying a stressing signal to the tunnel device. The stressing signal has an amplitude that is greater than an amplitude of a bias signal applied to the device during normal operation. One or more characteristics of the stressing signal are selected so as to substantially optimize a repair of the device. The amplitude and/or the duration of the stressing signal are preferably selected so as to remove a conductive filament shorting the device via a thermal mechanism (e.g., heating).Type: ApplicationFiled: January 12, 2006Publication date: July 26, 2007Applicant: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Janusz Nowak, Mark Curtis Lamorey, Yu Lu

Patent number: 5835314Abstract: Ferromagnetic-insulator-ferromagnetic trilayer junctions show magnetoresistance (JMR) effects ranging from about 16% to several hundred percent at room temperature. Larger effects are observed when the actual tunneling resistance (R.sub.T) is comparable to electrode film resistance (R.sub.L) over the junction area in cross-geometry junction measurements. The geometrically enhanced large JMR can be qualitatively explained by the nonuniform current flow over the function area when R.sub.T is comparable to R.sub.L, in the cross-geometry junction structure. For a fixed junction area, the effective junction resistance (R.sub.J) can be varied from less than 1 ohm to several kilohms by controlling the thickness of the insulating layer or by appropriately selecting ferromagnetic films. The trilayer tunnel junctions of the present invention are nonvolatile, stable and are reproducible.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 1996Date of Patent: November 10, 1998Assignee: Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyInventors: Jagadeesh S.
