Complimentary Polarizers STT-MRAM (CPSTT) for On-Chip Caches

Spin-transfer torque magnetic random access memory devices (STT-MRAMs) show great promise as a candidate technology for on-chip caches. In this letter, we propose a new STT-MRAM bit-cell structure that is suitable for on-chip caches compared with the standard STT-MRAM bit-cell (SSC). Scalability of our proposed structure is studied with the aid of micromagnetic and circuit simulators. Results show that our proposed bit-cell is more scalable than the SSC, achieving > 4x better write margin, > 65% better sensing margin, lower read disturb failures, and subnanosecond sensing delays.
