Abstract

A magnetic-tunnel-junction (MTJ) circuit model, which considers spin dynamics under finite temperature, electrical bias, a stochastic process, and spin-transfer torque, was developed. Switching behaviors simulated by this model were verified by experimental measurements. Moreover, a disturbance-free read scheme for Gbit-scale spin-transfer torque RAM (SPRAM) was also developed. The feasibility of this scheme was confirmed by circuit simulation using the model and on-chip measurement of switching probability.
