Abstract
Provided is an all-electrically-controlled spintronic neuron device, a neuron circuit and a neural network. The neuron device includes: a bottom antiferromagnetic pinning layer; a synthetic antiferromagnetic layer formed on the bottom antiferromagnetic pinning layer; a potential barrier layer formed on the ferromagnetic free layer, wherein a region of the ferromagnetic free layer directly opposite to the potential barrier layer forms a threshold region; a ferromagnetic reference layer formed on the potential barrier layer; wherein the potential barrier layer, the ferromagnetic reference layer and the ferromagnetic free layer form a magnetic tunnel junction; a first antiferromagnetic pinning layer and a second antiferromagnetic pinning layer formed on an exposed region of the ferromagnetic free layer except the region directly opposite the potential barrier layer, and located on two sides of the potential barrier layer; and a first electrode formed on the ferromagnetic reference layer.
