摘要
In this paper, we describe a fully-functional 1 Gb standalone spin-transfer torque magnetoresistive random access memory (STT-MRAM) integrated on 28 nm CMOS and based on perpendicular magnetic tunnel junctions (pMTJ's). Electrical short flows were used to guide the pMTJ stack development. We demonstrate reliable operation of the 1 Gb devices, including well-behaved STT write distributions, an endurance cycling lifetime up to at least 2x10(11) cycles, and data retention of 10 years at 85 degrees C. Testing results at -35 degrees C to 110 degrees C for the 1 Gb devices indicate good capability for industrial temperature range applications.
