摘要:
基于磁隧道结(MTJs)中电压诱导动态切换的电压控制磁阻随机存取存储器(VC-MRAM)是一种具有超低功耗前景的终极非易失性存储器。然而,传统磁隧道结中的动态切换伴随着相对较高的写入错误率(WER),阻碍了VC-MRAM的可靠运行。在此,我们提出了一种利用面内退磁场(IDF)和电压诱导的负垂直各向异性场(NOAF)的可靠写入方案。基于宏自旋模型的数值模拟表明,电压诱导的NOAF改变了切换动力学并增大了由IDF产生的力矩,从而缩短了切换时间。IDF和电压诱导的NOAF还降低了脉冲结束时磁化方向与平衡方向之间的平均能量差。结果表明,与传统磁隧道结中的动态切换相比,IDF和电压诱导的NOAF的适当组合可将WER降低一个数量级。
英文摘要:
Voltage-controlled magnetoresistive random access memory (VC-MRAM) based on voltage-induced dynamic switching in magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) is a promising ultimate non-volatile memory with ultralow power consumption. However, the dynamic switching in a conventional MTJ is accompanied by a relatively high write error rate (WER), hindering the reliable operation of VC-MRAM. Here, we propose a reliable writing scheme using the in-plane demagnetizing field (IDF) and voltage-induced negative out-of-plane anisotropy field (NOAF). Numerical simulations based on macrospin model demonstrate that the voltage-induced NOAF modifies the switching dynamics and increases the torque due to the IDF, thereby reducing the switching time. The IDF and voltage-induced NOAF also reduce the mean energy difference between the magnetization direction at the end of the pulse and the equilibrium direction. As a result, an appropriate combination of the IDF and voltage-induced NOAF reduces the WER by one order of magnitude compared with that of the dynamic switching in a conventional MTJ.
