Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of semiconductor technology, and in particular to a magnetic storage unit and device based on signal time delay. BACKGROUND

[0002] Magnetic random access memory (MRAM) takes a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) as a core device, has the advantages of low power consumption, non-volatile storage, and fast writing speed, and is expected to become the next generation of general-purpose memory and thus solve the above performance bottleneck. The third generation of MRAM adopts a spin orbit torque (SOT) writing technology, which can solve the problems existing in the spin-transfer torque (STT) writing technology of STT-MRAM. The SOT-MTJ is not easy to break down, has high reliability, and has separated read and write paths, which can be optimized independently. In particular, for the magnetic tunnel junction with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) commonly used at present, the writing speed of SOT-MRAM is expected to reach sub-nanosecond level.

[0003] When data is written, in order to achieve deterministic flipping of the MTJ by using SOT, an external magnetic field is usually needed for assistance, and the use of the magnetic field will make the design of the MRAM circuit more complicated and cause additional area and power consumption overhead.

[0019] Optionally, the voltages of the first pulse signal and the second pulse signal at the first magnetic tunnel junction are first voltage and second voltage, respectively.

[0020] The voltage value of the preset voltage is the difference between the first voltage and the second voltage.

[0021] Optionally, a second spin-orbit torque layer is further included, and the first magnetic tunnel junction is arranged at the intersection of the first spin-orbit torque layer and the second spin-orbit torque layer.

[0022] The first magnetic tunnel junction and the two ends of the second spin-orbit torque layer are respectively a fifth distance and a sixth distance, and the fifth distance and the sixth distance are not equal.

[0023] Optionally, a third pulse signal and a fourth pulse signal with opposite polarities are input from the two ends of the second spin-orbit torque layer along the fifth distance and the sixth distance, respectively.

[0024] The second write spin transfer torque current formed at the first magnetic tunnel junction due to signal time delay and the first write spin transfer torque current have opposite polarities.

[0025] The application also discloses a magnetic storage device comprising the signal time delay-based magnetic storage unit.

SOT refers to spin orbit torque, a technology that has a layer of heavy metal under the magnetic tunnel junction, and the current flowing through the heavy metal layer causes the magnetic moment of the magnetic tunnel junction to flip, which generally requires an external magnetic field to assist.

[0045] It should be noted that the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict. The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and in conjunction with the embodiments.

[0046] According to one aspect of the present application, the present embodiment discloses a magnetic storage unit based on signal delay. As shown in Figure 1 In the present embodiment, the magnetic storage unit includes a first spin orbit torque layer 6 and a first magnetic tunnel junction MTJ1 disposed on the first spin orbit torque layer 6.

[0047] The first magnetic tunnel junction MTJ1 is apart from the first spin orbit torque layer 6 by a first distance L1 and a second distance L2, the first distance L1 and the second distance L2 are not equal; a first pulse signal ISOT1 and a second pulse signal ISOT2 are input from the two ends of the first spin orbit torque layer 6 along the first distance L1 and the second distance L2 respectively; the first pulse signal ISOT1 and the second pulse signal ISOT2 form a first write spin transfer torque current ISTT at the first magnetic tunnel junction MTJ1 due to signal time delay to make the magnetic moment of the free layer 3 of the first magnetic tunnel junction MTJ1 flip deterministically under the action of the first write spin transfer torque current ISTT.

[0048] The magnetic storage unit based on signal time delay includes a first spin orbit torque layer 6 and a first magnetic tunnel junction MTJ1 arranged on the first spin orbit torque layer 6. The first magnetic tunnel junction MTJ1 is apart from the first spin orbit torque layer 6 by a first distance L1 and a second distance L2, the first distance L1 and the second distance L2 are not equal; a first pulse signal ISOT1 and a second pulse signal ISOT2 are input from the two ends of the first spin orbit torque layer 6 along the first distance L1 and the second distance L2 respectively. The first pulse signal ISOT1 and the second pulse signal ISOT2 form a SOT current input to the first spin orbit torque layer 6. Due to the difference between the first distance L1 and the second distance L2, the first pulse signal ISOT1 and the second pulse signal ISOT2 will form two longitudinal spin transfer torque currents at the first magnetic tunnel junction MTJ1 when the first pulse signal arrives and disappears due to the different time of arrival at the first magnetic tunnel junction MTJ1. The second longitudinal spin transfer torque current plays a decisive role in the flip of the free layer 3 of the magnetic tunnel junction, that is, the first write spin transfer torque current ISTT to make the magnetic moment of the free layer 3 of the first magnetic tunnel junction MTJ1 flip deterministically. The data writing of the magnetic storage unit of the application does not need the assistance of external magnetic field, does not need to set complex peripheral circuit, simplifies the device structure, reduces the area and power consumption.

[0049] Wherein, it can be understood that the first magnetic tunnel junction MTJ1 on the magnetic storage unit is at a first distance L1 from the first end 4 of the first spin-orbit torque layer 6 and at a second distance L2 from the second end 5, and the first distance L1 is not the same as the second distance L2. Assuming that the first distance L1 is greater than the second distance L2, since the second end 5 is closer to the first magnetic tunnel junction MTJ1, the second pulse signal ISOT2 input by the second end 5 first reaches the first magnetic tunnel junction MTJ1, and the first pulse signal ISOT1 reaches the first magnetic tunnel junction MTJ1 after a time delay. Wherein, when only the second pulse signal ISOT2 reaches the first magnetic tunnel junction MTJ1, a first spin transfer torque current in the longitudinal direction is formed at the first magnetic tunnel junction MTJ1, and the polarity of the first spin transfer torque current is the same as that of the second pulse signal ISOT2. When the second pulse signal ISOT2 disappears, the first pulse signal ISOT1 has not disappeared due to the time delay, at this time, only the first pulse signal ISOT1 is present at the first magnetic tunnel junction MTJ1, and a second spin transfer torque current is formed at the first magnetic tunnel junction MTJ1 under the action of the first pulse signal ISOT1, and the polarity of the second spin transfer torque current is the same as that of the first pulse signal ISOT1. Conversely, if the first distance L1 is less than the second distance L2, the polarity of the first spin transfer torque current is the same as that of the first pulse signal ISOT1, and the polarity of the second spin transfer torque current is the same as that of the second pulse signal ISOT2.

[0050] It can be understood that the magnetic tunnel junction generally includes a reference layer 1, a barrier layer 2 and a free layer 3 arranged in sequence from top to bottom. The bottom surface of the free layer 3 is fixedly connected with the spin-orbit torque layer. The resistance of the magnetic tunnel junction depends on the magnetization direction of the reference layer 1 and the free layer 3, and the magnetization direction of the free layer 3 and the reference layer 1 is determined by the magnetic moment direction. Wherein, when the magnetic moment directions of the reference layer 1 and the free layer 3 are the same, the magnetic tunnel junction is in a low resistance state (low resistance state), and when the magnetic moment directions of the reference layer 1 and the free layer 3 are opposite, the magnetic tunnel junction is in a high resistance state (high resistance state). The high resistance state and the low resistance state of the magnetic tunnel junction can be pre-corresponded to different data respectively, for example, the high resistance state is pre-set to correspond to data "1", and the low resistance state is pre-set to correspond to data "0", then the current or voltage is input to the magnetic tunnel junction through the reading circuit, and according to the change of the current or voltage, it can be determined whether the resistance state of the magnetic tunnel junction is the high resistance state or the low resistance state, and according to the resistance state of the magnetic tunnel junction, it can be determined whether the data stored in the magnetic tunnel junction is "1" or "0". Wherein, the range of the high resistance state and the low resistance state is determined as a common technical means in the art, and those skilled in the art can determine the resistance value range of the high resistance state and the low resistance state of the magnetic tunnel junction according to the common knowledge, which will not be described herein.

[0051] The first application of the SOT current formed by the first pulse signal ISOT1 and the second pulse signal ISOT2 is conducive to faster nucleation of the magnetic domain in the magnetic free layer 3, and the delayed removal of the STT current after the end of the SOT pulse produces a sharp pulse at the MTJ, which is conducive to the stability of the state of the magnetic moment in the free layer 3 to achieve deterministic writing, so the staggered application of the SOT and STT currents is conducive to reducing the switching current while improving the switching probability, and efficient field-free.

[0052] In an optional embodiment, the first distance L1 is greater than the second distance L2. When the first pulse signal ISOT1 is positive and the second pulse signal ISOT2 is negative, two spin transfer torque currents of negative and positive are formed in the first magnetic tunnel junction MTJ1 in sequence, and the positive spin transfer torque current is the first write spin transfer torque current ISTT. When the first pulse signal ISOT1 is negative and the second pulse signal ISOT2 is positive, two spin transfer torque currents of positive and negative are formed in the first magnetic tunnel junction MTJ1 in sequence, and the negative spin transfer torque current is the first write spin transfer torque current ISTT.

[0053] In a specific example, as shown in the figure, the first distance L1 is greater than the second distance L2, and the first magnetic tunnel junction MTJ1 is arranged on the right side of the first spin orbit torque layer 6, that is, the distance between the first magnetic tunnel junction MTJ1 and the second end 5 of the first spin orbit torque layer 6 is closer. Figure 1

[0054] It is assumed that the direction from left to right is positive, and vice versa. When the input first pulse signal ISOT1 is positive and the second pulse signal ISOT2 is negative, the second pulse signal ISOT2 first reaches the first magnetic tunnel junction MTJ1, first forming a negative spin transfer torque current, and the first pulse signal ISOT1 disappears after a time delay after the second pulse signal ISOT2 disappears, forming a positive spin transfer torque current at the first magnetic tunnel junction MTJ1, which is the first write spin transfer torque current ISTT that determines the final direction of the magnetic moment of the free layer 3.

[0055] Conversely, when the input first pulse signal ISOT1 is negative and the second pulse signal ISOT2 is positive, the second pulse signal ISOT2 first reaches the first magnetic tunnel junction MTJ1, first forming a positive spin transfer torque current, and the first pulse signal ISOT1 disappears after a time delay after the second pulse signal ISOT2 disappears, forming a negative spin transfer torque current at the first magnetic tunnel junction MTJ1, which is the first write spin transfer torque current ISTT that determines the final direction of the magnetic moment of the free layer 3.

[0056] ​It should be noted that in some embodiments, the polarities of the first pulse signal ISOT1 and the second pulse signal ISOT2 can also be positive at the same time or negative at the same time, and the polarity of the spin transfer torque current at the first magnetic tunnel junction MTJ1 can be determined according to the signal time delay according to the same principle, which will not be described here.

[0057] In an optional embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 The magnetic storage unit also includes a second magnetic tunnel junction MTJ2. The second magnetic tunnel junction MTJ2 is spaced apart from the first spin orbit torque layer 6 by a third distance L3 and a fourth distance L4. The first distance L1 is greater than the second distance L2, and the third distance L3 is less than the fourth distance L4. The polarities of the first pulse signal ISOT1 and the second pulse signal ISOT2 are opposite, and the first pulse signal ISOT1 and the second pulse signal ISOT2 form first write spin transfer torque currents ISTT of opposite polarities at the first magnetic tunnel junction MTJ1 and the second magnetic tunnel junction MTJ2 due to signal time delay.

[0058] Specifically, in order to improve the storage density of the magnetic storage unit, two or more second magnetic tunnel junctions MTJ2 can be provided on a first spin orbit torque layer 6. The third distance L3 and the fourth distance L4 between the second magnetic tunnel junction MTJ2 and the first spin orbit torque layer 6 are also not equal, so that the second magnetic tunnel junction MTJ2 can also realize the deterministic flipping of the free layer 3 magnetic moment through the longitudinal spin transfer torque current formed at the second magnetic tunnel junction MTJ2 due to the time delay of the pulse signals input from both ends of the first spin orbit torque layer 6.

[0059] In this optional embodiment, the third distance L3 between the second magnetic tunnel junction MTJ2 and the first spin orbit torque layer 6 is less than the fourth distance L4, and the first magnetic tunnel junction MTJ1 and the second magnetic tunnel junction MTJ2 are arranged on the two sides close to the two ends of the first spin orbit torque layer 6. When the polarities of the first pulse signal ISOT1 and the second pulse signal ISOT2 are opposite, the first pulse signal ISOT1 and the second pulse signal ISOT2 are simultaneously input from the first end 4 and the second end 5 of the first spin orbit torque layer 6. The polarities of the pulse signals first reaching the first magnetic tunnel junction MTJ1 and the second magnetic tunnel junction MTJ2 are opposite, i.e. the polarities of the first write spin transfer torque currents ISTT formed at the first magnetic tunnel junction MTJ1 and the second magnetic tunnel junction MTJ2 are opposite.

[0060] The final magnetic moment direction of the two magnetic tunnel junction free layers 3 under the action of the first write spin transfer torque current ISTT with opposite polarities and the magnetic moment direction of the reference layer 1 can be set to realize the writing of different data pair combinations. For example, under the action of the first write spin transfer torque current ISTT with opposite polarities, the magnetic moments of the free layers 3 of the first magnetic tunnel junction MTJ1 and the second magnetic tunnel junction MTJ2 are opposite after the deterministic flipping, the magnetic moment directions of the reference layer 1 are the same, and the opposite resistance states of the first magnetic tunnel junction MTJ1 and the second magnetic tunnel junction MTJ2 can be changed by the first pulse signal ISOT1 and the second pulse signal ISOT2, so that the opposite data pair combinations are written into the first magnetic tunnel junction MTJ1 and the second magnetic tunnel junction MTJ2, for example, (0, 1); when the magnetic moment directions of the reference layer 1 are opposite, the magnetic moment directions of the free layers 3 after writing are also opposite, and the resistance states of the first magnetic tunnel junction MTJ1 and the second magnetic tunnel junction MTJ2 can be made the same by the first pulse signal ISOT1 and the second pulse signal ISOT2, so that the purpose of writing the opposite data pair combinations into the first magnetic tunnel junction MTJ1 and the second magnetic tunnel junction MTJ2 is achieved, for example, (0, 0).

[0061] In an optional embodiment, the potential difference between the top end and the bottom end of the first magnetic tunnel junction MTJ1 is 0. In order to avoid the damage to the magnetic tunnel junction caused by the excessive longitudinal voltage formed by the first pulse signal ISOT1 and the second pulse signal ISOT2 at the first magnetic tunnel junction MTJ1, the polarity of the first pulse signal ISOT1 and the second pulse signal ISOT2 is opposite, and the voltage is adjusted, so that the voltage at the magnetic tunnel junction is 0 when the first pulse signal ISOT1 and the second pulse signal ISOT2 act; or the voltage at the top of the first magnetic tunnel junction MTJ1, the polarity of the first pulse signal ISOT1 and the second pulse signal ISOT2, and the voltage are combined to make the potential difference of the magnetic tunnel junction in the longitudinal direction 0.

[0062] In an optional embodiment, the polarity of the first pulse signal ISOT1 and the second pulse signal ISOT2 is opposite, and the ratio of the first pulse signal ISOT1 and the second pulse signal ISOT2 is the same as the ratio of the corresponding first distance L1 and the second distance L2.

[0063] Specifically, in order to make the potential difference between the top end and the bottom end of the magnetic tunnel junction 0, the polarity of the first pulse signal ISOT1 and the second pulse signal ISOT2 is opposite, and the voltage of the first pulse signal ISOT1 and the second pulse signal ISOT2 is set, so that the voltage superimposed by the first pulse signal ISOT1 and the second pulse signal ISOT2 at the first magnetic tunnel junction MTJ1 is 0.

[0064] For example, for Figure 1The magnetic storage unit can be set with the first pulse signal ISOT1 being positive and the second pulse signal ISOT2 being negative, and the ratio of the first pulse signal ISOT1 to the second pulse signal ISOT2 is equal to the ratio of the first distance L1 and the second distance L2. Then, according to the voltage divider principle, the voltage at the first magnetic tunnel junction MTJ1 is 0.

[0065] In this embodiment, since the first distance L1 is greater than the second distance L2, the first pulse signal ISOT1 is greater than the second pulse signal ISOT2, and the polarities of the first pulse signal ISOT1 and the second pulse signal ISOT2 are opposite. Therefore, in this embodiment, the SOT current and STT current only exist in two cases: one is that the positive first pulse signal ISOT1 and the negative second pulse signal ISOT2 form a positive SOT current, and the negative and positive spin-transfer torque currents are formed sequentially at the first magnetic tunnel junction MTJ1 over time, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the instrument test results are as follows: Figure 4 As shown; another method involves a negative first pulse signal ISOT1 and a positive second pulse signal ISOT2 forming a negative SOT current, which in turn generates positive and negative spin-transfer torque currents at the first magnetic tunnel junction MTJ1 over time, as shown. Figure 5 As shown.

[0066] In another alternative implementation, such as Figure 6 As shown, a preset voltage V3 is connected to the top of the first magnetic tunnel junction MTJ1. The voltage value of the preset voltage V3 is obtained based on the first pulse signal ISOT1 and the second pulse signal ISOT2.

[0067] Specifically, to ensure that the potential difference between the top and bottom of the magnetic tunnel junction is zero, a preset voltage V3 can be applied to the top of the first magnetic tunnel junction MTJ1. This preset voltage V3 is made the same as the voltage difference formed at the first magnetic tunnel junction MTJ1 by the first pulse signal ISOT1 and the second pulse signal ISOT2, thus ensuring that the potential difference between the top and bottom of the first magnetic tunnel junction MTJ1 is zero and preventing damage to the magnetic tunnel junction. In this embodiment, the first pulse signal ISOT1 and the second pulse signal ISOT2 do not need to be set to opposite polarities, and the magnitude of the voltage is not limited. This allows for the selection of more forms of the first pulse signal ISOT1 and the second pulse signal ISOT2 according to actual conditions, reducing application limitations, facilitating flexible configuration of peripheral circuits, and enabling data writing under different SOT and STT synergistic effects.

[0068] In an optional embodiment, the voltages of the first pulse signal ISOT1 and the second pulse signal ISOT2 at the first magnetic tunnel junction MTJ1 are a first voltage V1 and a second voltage V2, respectively; the voltage value of the preset voltage V3 is the difference between the first voltage V1 and the second voltage V2.

[0069] Specifically, the voltage value and polarity of the preset voltage V3 can be determined based on the voltage difference between the first pulse signal ISOT1 and the second pulse signal ISOT2. Furthermore, the duration of the preset voltage V3 needs to match the duration of the first pulse signal ISOT1 and the second pulse signal ISOT2 to protect the magnetic tunnel junction from damage and to avoid affecting data writing.

[0070] In alternative implementations, such as Figure 7 As shown, the magnetic storage cell further includes a second spin-orbit layer 7. The first magnetic tunnel junction MTJ1 is disposed at the intersection of the first spin-orbit layer 6 and the second spin-orbit layer 7; the two ends of the first magnetic tunnel junction MTJ1 and the second spin-orbit layer 7 are respectively a fifth distance L5 and a sixth distance L6, and the fifth distance L5 and the sixth distance L6 are not equal.

[0071] Specifically, the first magnetic tunnel junction MTJ1 is located at the intersection of the first spin-orbit moment layer 6 and the second spin-orbit moment layer 7 in two different directions. The writing of the first magnetic tunnel junction MTJ1 can be achieved by inputting the first pulse signal ISOT1 and the second pulse signal ISOT2 into one of the spin-orbit moment layers 6 and 7.

[0072] In some embodiments, if at least one second magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ2) is also provided on the first spin orbital layer 6, the input of the first pulse signal ISOT1 and the second pulse signal ISOT2 will simultaneously affect the data stored in the first magnetic tunnel junction MTJ1 and the second magnetic tunnel junction MTJ2.

[0073] In this embodiment, a second spin-orbit moment layer 7 is provided, and the fifth distance L5 and the sixth distance L6 are not equal. Data can still be written using a combined SOT and STT method. When a pulse signal is input through the second spin-orbit moment layer 7, data can be written to the first magnetic tunnel junction MTJ1 without affecting the data stored in the second magnetic tunnel junction MTJ2. The magnetic storage unit can write data to multiple magnetic tunnel junctions sharing a common spin-orbit moment layer through the first spin-orbit moment layer 6, and write data to a single magnetic tunnel junction through the second spin-orbit moment layer 7. By combining the writing methods of the first spin-orbit moment layer 6 and the second spin-orbit moment layer 7, various combinations of data pairs that need to be stored can be obtained.

[0074] In optional embodiments, a third pulse signal and a fourth pulse signal with opposite polarities are input from two ends of the second spin-orbit torque layer 7 along the fifth distance L5 and the sixth distance L6 respectively.

[0075] The second write spin transfer torque current formed by signal time delay of the third pulse signal and the fourth pulse signal at the first magnetic tunnel junction MTJ1 is opposite in polarity to the first write spin transfer torque current ISTT.

[0076] Specifically, in some embodiments, in order to make the voltage at the first magnetic tunnel junction MTJ1 be 0, the polarity and voltage size of the first pulse signal ISOT1 and the second pulse signal ISOT2 need to be limited, and the combination of generated SOT and STT has only two cases. Then on the second spin-orbit torque layer 7, if the first magnetic tunnel junction MTJ1 is at a fifth distance L5 from one end of the second spin-orbit torque layer 7 inputting a positive pulse signal, the size of the fifth distance L5 and the sixth distance L6 is opposite to the first distance L1 and the second distance L2, more SOT and STT combination cases can be achieved.

[0077] For example, for Figure 7 The magnetic storage unit shown, with respect to the first magnetic tunnel junction MTJ1, the direction of the first end 4 to the second end 5 of the first spin-orbit torque layer 6 is positive, and the direction of the third end 8 to the fourth end 9 of the second spin-orbit torque layer 7 is positive, then the distance from the first end 4 to the first magnetic tunnel junction MTJ1 is the first distance L1, the distance from the second end 5 to the first magnetic tunnel junction MTJ1 is the second distance L2, the distance from the third end 8 to the second magnetic tunnel junction MTJ2 is the fifth distance L5, and the distance from the fourth end 9 to the second magnetic tunnel junction MTJ2 is the sixth distance L6.

[0078] When the first distance L1 is greater than the second distance L2 and the fifth distance L5 is less than the sixth distance L6, the first end 4 inputs the first pulse signal ISOT1 in the positive direction, the second end 5 inputs the second pulse signal ISOT2 in the negative direction, and the spin transfer torque current in the negative direction and the positive direction is formed in the first magnetic tunnel junction MTJ1 in turn; the first end 4 inputs the first pulse signal ISOT1 in the negative direction, the second end 5 inputs the second pulse signal ISOT2 in the positive direction, and the spin transfer torque current in the positive direction and the negative direction is formed in the first magnetic tunnel junction MTJ1 in turn; the fifth end inputs the third pulse signal in the positive direction, and the second end 5 inputs the fourth pulse signal in the negative direction, and the spin transfer torque current in the negative direction and the positive direction is formed in the first magnetic tunnel junction MTJ1 in turn; the fifth end inputs the third pulse signal in the negative direction, and the sixth end inputs the fourth pulse signal in the positive direction, and the spin transfer torque current in the positive direction and the negative direction is formed in the first magnetic tunnel junction MTJ1 in turn. Thus, the first write spin transfer torque current ISTT formed by the first pulse signal ISOT1 and the second pulse signal ISOT2 is opposite in polarity to the second write spin transfer torque current formed by the third pulse signal and the fourth pulse signal.

[0079] It should be noted that if the first magnetic tunnel junction MTJ1 is multiple, each first magnetic tunnel junction MTJ1 can be correspondingly provided with the second spin orbit moment layer 7, and the distance between the first magnetic tunnel junction MTJ1 and the second spin orbit moment layer 7 can be set according to requirements. If there is at least one second magnetic tunnel junction MTJ2, the second magnetic tunnel junction MTJ2 is similar to the first magnetic tunnel junction MTJ1 in terms of the setting of the second spin orbit moment layer 7, that is, each second magnetic tunnel junction MTJ2 can be correspondingly provided with the second spin orbit moment layer 7, and the distance between the second magnetic tunnel junction MTJ2 and the second spin orbit moment layer 7 can be set according to requirements. The other structure of the second magnetic tunnel junction MTJ2 can refer to the description of the first magnetic tunnel junction MTJ1, and will not be described here.

[0086] In some embodiments, the magnetic tunnel junction has a shape capable of forming a shape anisotropy field (non-uniform demagnetization field) for providing the applied magnetic field. For example, the magnetic tunnel junction can adopt shapes such as rectangle, ellipse, and isosceles right triangle. Taking the ellipse as an example, the demagnetization field is weak in the long axis direction and strong in the short axis direction, which can be equivalent to an applied magnetic field. In some embodiments, the available shapes of the magnetic tunnel junction include but are not limited to ellipse, rhombus, rectangle, triangle, and other shapes.

[0094] In some embodiments, the electronic device should also include read circuitry, write circuitry, and peripheral conversion circuitry (decoders, etc.).

[0096] In some embodiments, a toggle type design can be used. The implementation carrier can be a toggle type MRAM.

[0097] In some embodiments, full-chip testing, board-level package testing, slice integration testing, bare chips, and software and hardware combinations are used to test the data generation device.

[0098] In some embodiments, a NAND type device constitutes a PUF array, which reduces the area compared to a single MTJ design. The array can be integrated with SOT-MRAM to reduce process difficulty and provide PUF function and improve storage security.
