MAGNETIC MEMORY DEVICE
A magnetic memory device includes a magnetic track extending in a first direction. The magnetic track includes a lower magnetic layer, an upper magnetic layer on the lower magnetic layer, a non-magnetic pattern on the lower magnetic layer and at a side of the upper magnetic layer, and a spacer layer between the lower magnetic layer and the upper magnetic layer and extending between the lower magnetic layer and the non-magnetic pattern. The lower magnetic layer and the upper magnetic layer are antiferromagnetically coupled to each other by the spacer layer.

WEYL SEMIMETAL MATERIAL FOR MAGNETIC TUNNEL JUNCTION
In some examples, a device includes a magnetic tunnel junction including a first Weyl semimetal layer, a second Weyl semimetal layer, and a dielectric layer positioned between the first and second Weyl semimetal layers. The magnetic tunnel junction may have a large tunnel magnetoresistance ratio, which may be greater than five hundred percent or even greater than one thousand percent.
Hall Effect Prism Sensor
A physically unclonable function is an object that has characteristics that make it extremely difficult or impossible to copy. An array of randomly dispersed hard (magnetized) and soft (non-magnetized) magnetic particles that may be conducting or nonconducting that are disbursed in a binder create a particular magnetic field or capacitive pattern on the surface. This surface magnetic field and capacitive variations can be considered to be a unique pattern similar to fingerprint. The Hall effect prism is a sensor that measures the effects of these patterns by sensing the deformation of currents or electric potential flowing within or around a resistive substrate material that exhibits a substantial Hall effect coefficient.
Damascene-based approaches for embedding spin hall MTJ devices into a logic processor and the resulting structures
Damascene-based approaches for embedding spin hall MTJ devices into a logic processor, and the resulting structures, are described. In an example, a logic processor includes a logic region including a metallization layer.

The spin hall effect electrodes of the 2T-1MTJ SHE electrode bit cells are disposed in a lower dielectric layer laterally adjacent to the metallization layer of the logic region. The MTJs of the 2T-1MTJ SHE electrode bit cells are disposed in an upper dielectric layer laterally adjacent to the metallization layer of the logic region.
