Abstract

A magnetoresistive random access memory (MRAM) memory cell comprises a pinned layer having fixed direction of magnetization that is perpendicular to a plane of the pinned layer, a first free layer having a direction of magnetization that can be switched and is perpendicular to a plane of the first free layer, a tunnel barrier positioned between the pinned layer and the first free layer, a second free layer having a direction of magnetization that can be switched, and a spacer layer positioned between the first free layer and the second free layer. Temperature dependence of coercivity of the second free layer is greater than temperature dependence of coercivity of the first free layer.
