Abstract

Reverse pulse schemes for reducing write error rate in magnetoelectric random access memory applications can be implemented in many different ways in accordance with various embodiments of the invention. One embodiment includes a method for a writing mechanism for a magnetoelectric random access memory cell, the method including applying a voltage of a given polarity for a period of time across a magnetoelectric junction bit of the magnetoelectric random access memory cell and applying a voltage of a polarity opposite the given polarity across the magnetoelectric junction bit at the end of the application of the voltage of the given polarity, wherein application of the voltage of the given polarity across the magnetoelectric junction bit reduces the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy and magnetic coercivity of the ferromagnetic free layer through a voltage controlled magnetic anisotropy effect.
