Abstract
Orthogonal spin-torque bit cells whose spin torques from a perpendicular polarizer and an in-plane magnetized reference layer are constructively or destructively combined. An orthogonal spin-torque bit cell includes a perpendicular magnetized polarizing layer configured to provide a first spin-torque; an in-plane magnetized free layer and a reference layer configured to provide a second spin-torque. The first spin-torque and the second spin-torque combine and the combined first spin-torque and second spin-torque influences the magnetic state of the in-plane magnetized free layer. The in-plane magnetized free layer and the reference layer form a magnetic tunnel junction. The first spin-torque and second spin-torque can combine constructively to lower a switching current, increase a switching speed, and/or torque decrease an operating energy of the orthogonal spin-torque bit cell.
