Memory devices comprising magnetic tracks individually comprising a plurality of magnetic domains having domain walls and methods of forming a memory device comprising magnetic tracks individually comprising a plurality of magnetic domains having domain walls
A method of forming a memory device having magnetic tracks individually comprising a plurality of magnetic domains having domain walls, includes forming an elevationally outer substrate material of uniform chemical composition. The uniform composition material is partially etched into to form alternating regions of elevational depressions and elevational protrusions in the uniform composition material. A plurality of magnetic tracks is formed over and which angle relative to the alternating regions. Interfaces of immediately adjacent of the regions individually form a domain wall pinning site in individual of the magnetic tracks. Other methods, including memory devices independent of method, are disclosed.
Spin orbit materials for efficient spin current generation
In one embodiment, a SOT device is provided that replaces a traditional NM layer adjacent to a magnetic layer with a NM layer that is compatible with CMOS technology. The NM layer may include a CMOS-compatible composite (e.g., CuPt) alloy, a TI (e.g., Bi.sub.2Se.sub.3, Bi.sub.xSe.sub.1-x, Bi.sub.1-xSb.sub.x, etc.) or a TI/non-magnetic metal (e.g., Bi.sub.2Se.sub.3/Ag, Bi.sub.xSe.sub.1-x/Ag, Bi.sub.1-xSb.sub.x/Ag, etc.) interface, that provides efficient spin current generation. Spin current may be generated in various manners, including extrinsic SHE, TSS or Rashba effect.
Magnetic storage device
A magnetic storage device of an embodiment includes: a first magnetic part including a first portion and a second portion and extending in a first direction from the first portion to the second portion; a layered part which is stacked on the first magnetic part in a second direction intersecting with the first direction; a first electrode electrically connected with the first portion; and a second electrode electrically connected with the second portion. The layered part includes a first layer and a second layer which is disposed between the first layer and the first magnetic part, the second layer includes a metal oxide, and the first layer includes at least one selected from the group consisting of a metal nitride and a metal carbide.
Semiconductor device with first-in-first-out circuit
Apparatuses including a first-in first-out circuit are described. An example apparatus includes: a first-in first-out circuit including a first latch, a second latch and a logic circuit coupled in series. The first latch receives first data and latches the first data responsive to a first input pointer signal. The second latch receives the latched first data from the first latch and latches the received first data responsive to a second input pointer signal that has a different phase from the first input pointer signal and thus provides a second data. The logic circuit receives the second data and an output pointer signal and further provides an output data responsive to the output pointer signal.
