Abstract
Various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards a memory device including a shunting layer overlying a spin orbit torque (SOT) layer. A magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) structure overlies a semiconductor substrate. The MTJ structure includes a free layer, a reference layer, and a tunnel barrier layer disposed between the free and reference layers. A bottom electrode via (BEVA) underlies the MTJ structure, where the BEVA is laterally offset from the MTJ structure by a lateral distance. The SOT layer is disposed vertically between the BEVA and the MTJ structure, where the SOT layer continuously extends along the lateral distance. The shunting layer extends across an upper surface of the SOT layer and extends across at least a portion of the lateral distance.
