Abstract

A planar STT-MRAM includes apparatus, made by a method of operating and a method of manufacturing a spin-torque magnetoresistive memory and a plurality of magnetoresistive memory element having a ferromagnetic recording layer forming a flux closure with a self-aligned ferromagnetic soft adjacent layer which has an electric field enhanced perpendicular anisotropy through an interface interaction with a dielectric functional layer. The energy switch barrier of the soft adjacent layer is reduced under an electric field along a perpendicular direction with a proper voltage on a digital line from a control circuitry; accordingly, the in-plane magnetization of the recording layer is readily reversible in a low spin-transfer switching current.
