Abstract
A modified double magnetic tunnel junction (mDMTJ) structure is provided which includes a non-magnetic, spin-conducting metallic layer sandwiched between a magnetic free layer and a first tunnel barrier layer; the first tunnel barrier layer contacts a first magnetic reference layer. A second tunnel barrier layer is located on the magnetic free layer and a second magnetic reference layer is located on the second tunnel barrier layer. The mDMTJ structure of the present application exhibits efficient switching (at a low current) and speedy readout (high TMR).
