Abstract
A magnetic memory device includes a spin-orbit torque (SOT) induction spin Hall electrode and a free layer of a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) stack disposed on the spin Hall electrode which is a synthetic anti-ferromagnetic structure. The free layer has a magnetic moment which is askew of the long axis of the MTJ stack and askew the direction of current flow through the spin Hall electrode. The MTJ stack internally generates a magnetic field to switch the state of the free layer. The free layer includes a first layer separated from a second layer by a spacer layer, where the first layer and the second layer may have the same or different crystalline structures.
