Memory cells having a self-aligning polarizer

摘要

Spin torque transfer memory cells and methods of forming the same are described herein. As an example, spin torque transfer memory cells may include a self-aligning polarizer, a pinned polarizer, and a storage material formed between the self-aligning polarizer and the pinned polarizer.

1. A spin torque transfer memory cell, comprising:
a self-aligning polarizer; a pinned polarizer; a storage material formed between the self-aligning polarizer and the pinned polarizer; and a non-magnetic material formed between the storage material and the self-aligning polarizer, wherein the self-aligning polarizer is configured to have a first magnetic orientation parallel to a magnetic orientation of the pinned polarizer and a second magnetic orientation perpendicular to the magnetic orientation of the pinned polarizer.
