  • Publication number: 20240147867
    Abstract: Magnetoelectric magnetic tunnel junction (MEMTJ) logic devices comprise a magnetoelectric switching capacitor coupled to a pair of magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) by a conductive layer. The logic state of the MEMTJ is represented by the magnetization orientation of the ferromagnetic layer of the magnetoelectric capacitor, which can be switched through the application of an appropriate input voltage to the MEMTJ. The magnetization orientation of the magnetoelectric capacitor ferromagnetic layer is read out by the MTJs. The conductive layer is positioned between the capacitor and the MTJs. The MTJ ferromagnetic free layers are exchange coupled to the ferromagnetic layer of the magnetoelectric capacitor. The potential of an MTJ free layer is based on a supply voltage applied to the reference layer of the MTJ. The MTJ reference layers have a magnetization orientation that is parallel or antiparallel to the magnetization orientations of the ferromagnetic layer of the magnetoelectric capacitor.

  • Publication number: 20230189659
    Abstract: A probabilistic bit (p-bit) comprises a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) comprising a free layer whose magnetization orientation randomly fluctuates in the presence of thermal noise. The p-bit MTJ comprises a reference layer, a free layer, and an insulating layer between the reference and free layers. The reference layer and the free layer comprise synthetic antiferromagnets. The use of a synthetic antiferromagnet for the reference layer reduces the amount of stray magnetic field that can impact the magnetization of the free layer and the use of a synthetic antiferromagnet for the free layer reduces stray magnetic field bias on p-bit random number generation. Tuning the thickness of the nonmagnetic layer of synthetic antiferromagnet free layer can result in faster random number generation time relative to a comparable MTJ with a free layer comprising a single-layer ferromagnet.
