Techniques for improved semiconductor device performance are provided. In one aspect, a semiconductor device is provided. The device comprises at least one free magnetic layer, and a magnetic amplifier interacting with the free magnetic layer comprising two or more magnetic layers with at least one nonmagnetic layer therebetween. The nonmagnetic layer may be configured to provide parallel exchange coupling J of the magnetic layers in a range of <maths id="MATH-US-00001" num="1"> <MATH OVERFLOW="SCROLL"> <MROW> <MROW> <MN>0</MN> <MO><</MO> <MI>J</MI> <MO><</MO> <MFRAC> <MROW> <MN>4</MN> <MO></MO> <MI>pi</MI> <MO></MO> <MSTYLE> <MTEXT> </MTEXT> </MSTYLE> <MO></MO> <MSUP> <MI>t</MI> <MN>2</MN> </MSUP> <MO></MO> <MSUBSUP> <MI>M</MI> <MI>S</MI> <MN>2</MN> </MSUBSUP> <MO></MO> <MSUB> <MI>n</MI> <MI>y</MI> </MSUB> </MROW> <MI>b</MI> </MFRAC> </MROW> <MO>,</MO> </MROW> </MATH> </MATHS> the magnetic layers having a long axis and a short axis, wherein t is a thickness of each magnetic layer, M<SUB>s </SUB>is magnetization, n<SUB>y </SUB>is a demagnetizing factor defined along the short axis of the magnetic layers and b is a diameter along a short axis of the magnetic layers.
