  • Patent number: 10886330
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention facilitate efficient and effective increased memory cell density configuration. In one embodiment, a semiconductor device comprises: a first pillar magnetic tunnel junction (pMTJ) memory cell that comprises a first pMTJ located in a first level in the semiconductor device; and a second pillar magnetic tunnel junction (pMTJ) memory cell that comprises a second pMTJ located in a second level in the semiconductor device, wherein the second pMTJ location with respect to the first pMTJ is coordinated to comply with a reference pitch for the memory cell. A reference pitch is associated a first switch coupled to the first pMTJ and the second pitch reference component is a second switch coupled to the second pMTJ. The first switch and second switch can be transistors. The reference pitch coordination facilitates reduced pitch between memory cells and increased information storage capacity of bits per memory device area.

  • Patent number: 10840439
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention facilitate efficient and effective increased memory cell density configuration. In one embodiment, the method comprises: forming a first pitch reference component and a second pitch reference component; forming a first pillar magnetic tunnel junction (pMTJ) located in a first level and a second pMTJ located in a second level, wherein the location of the second pMTJ with respect to the first pMTJ is coordinated based upon a reference pitch distance between the first pitch reference component and first pitch reference component. In one exemplary implementation, the first pitch reference component is a first switch coupled to the first pMTJ and the second pitch reference component is a second switch coupled to the second pMTJ. The reference component size can be based upon a minimum lithographic processing dimension.
