  • Patent number: 12293781
    Abstract: The three-state spintronic device includes: a bottom electrode, a magnetic tunnel junction and a top electrode from bottom to top. The magnetic tunnel junction includes: a spin-orbit coupling layer, a ferromagnetic free layer, a barrier tunneling layer, a ferromagnetic reference layer, three local magnetic domain wall pinning centers and domain wall nucleation centers. An antisymmetric exchange interaction is modulated, and the magnetic domain wall pinning centers are embedded in an interface between a heavy metal and the ferromagnetic free layer. The magnetic domain wall nucleation centers are at two ends of the ferromagnetic free layer. A current pulse flows through the spin-orbit coupling layer to generate a spin current and the spin current is injected into the ferromagnetic free layer. Under a control of all-electrical controlled, an effective field of a spin-orbit torque drives domain wall to move and displace.

    Abstract: A first packet flow and a second packet flow support a first protocol, a third packet flow and a fourth packet flow support a second protocol, and a priority of the first protocol is lower than a priority of the second protocol. The first packet flow and the third packet flow are transmitted from a first ingress port to a first egress port.

  • Publication number: 20250125161
    Abstract: Some implementations described herein provide an etch tool having a nozzle component. The nozzle component (e.g., a gas injector component) includes a spinel-based composite material that has an increased resistivity to damage and/or debris generation within the etch tool during a plasma-based etch operation that etches material from a semiconductor substrate. The increased resistivity may decrease contamination within the etch tool to increase a yield of integrated circuit devices on the semiconductor substrate relative to another semiconductor substrate that is etched using another etch tool having another nozzle component of another material.
