Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of memories, in particular to a magnetic tunnel junction structure of a magnetic random access memory.
Background
Magnetic random access memory (Magnetic random access memory, MRAM) has, in a magnetic tunnel junction (Magnetic tunnel junction; MTJ) with perpendicular anisotropy (Perpendicular Magnetic Anisotropy; PMA), as a free layer for storing information, two magnetization directions in the perpendicular direction, namely: up and down, respectively corresponding to "0" and "1" or "1" and "0" in binary, in practical application, the magnetization direction of the free layer will remain unchanged when reading information or being empty; during writing, if a signal different from the existing state is input, the magnetization direction of the free layer will be inverted 180 degrees in the vertical direction. The ability of the free Layer magnetization direction of the mram to remain unchanged is called Data Retention (Data Retention) or thermal stability (Thermal Stability), which is different in different applications, and for a typical Non-volatile Memory (NVM), the Data Retention is required to be able to store Data for 10 years under the condition of 125 ℃, and the Data Retention or thermal stability is reduced during external magnetic field flipping, thermal perturbation, current perturbation or multiple operations, so that the pinning of the Reference Layer (RL) is often implemented by using an antiferromagnetic Layer (Synthetic Anti-Ferrimagnet Layer, syAF) superlattice. Current manufacturers use various techniques to achieve lattice matching of the antiferromagnetic layer to the reference layer, but the "antiferromagnetic coupling" situation still occurs.
