MRAM Technology

MRAM is a memory that unlike conventional RAM stores data in a magnetic storage elements. The elements are formed from two ferromagnetic plates, each of which can hold a magnetization, separated by a thin insulating layer. One of the two plates is a permanent magnet set to a particular polarity; the other plate’s magnetization can be changed to match that of an external field to store memory.

Avalanche’s Perpendicular STT-MRAM Technology

The core of Avalanche’s STT-MRAM cell is a proprietary perpendicular magnetic tunnel junction (p-MTJ) element which includes including a magnetic fixed layer, a dielectric barrier layer and a changeable ferromagnetic storage layer. The magnetic orientation of the fixed layer is fixed during the manufacturing process. During a programming operation, the magnetic orientation of the storage layer is electrically switched from a parallel state (low resistance state “0”) to an antiparallel state (high resistance state “1”), or vice versa, depending on the current direction through the p-MTJ element. Two distinct resistance states can thus be realized for data storage and sensing. The structure of the p-MTJ element can be tailored for different performance specs and application needs.
