Sub-100 nm Spintronics Logic Device Development
This research project focuses on fabricating and evaluating sub-100 nm spintronics logic devices. All devices are manufactured to be CMOS-compatible. The fundamental operating principle of these logic devices is the SOT-induced (Spin-Orbit Torque-induced) nucleation and motion of magnetic domain walls (DWs).
The logic devices consist of two types:
Spin Torque Majority Gate (STMG): This device operates based on the majority rule, allowing a single device to execute both AND gate and OR gate operations.
Domain Wall (DW) Inverter: This device can be connected with the STMG to implement NAND gate or NOR gate functionalities.
Ultrafast TMR Sensor based on the modified MRAM architecture
This research aims to demonstrate an ultrafast and ultra-low-power TMR (Tunnel Magnetoresistance) sensor using a modified MRAM architecture.
The most critical feature of this structure is that the storage layer (SL) is coupled to the 2nd fixed layer via RKKY interaction. This enables the structure to sense magnetic field changes and automatically revert to its initial state for continuous sensor functionality.
The sensor can be connected in series with a conventional MRAM architecture (which is capable of information storage) to be utilized as an in-sensor computing architecture.
