  • Patent number: 11469369
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards a memory device including a free layer overlying a reference layer. A tunnel barrier layer overlies the reference layer disposed over a semiconductor substrate. The free layer overlies the tunnel barrier layer, and a capping layer overlies the free layer. A shunting structure includes a conductive material that vertically extends continuously from an outer sidewall of the free layer to an outer sidewall of the capping layer.
    Type: Grant
