Spin Transfer Torque Based Devices, Circuits & Memory

Description

This first-of-its-kind resource is completely dedicated to spin transfer torque (STT) based devices, circuits, and memory. A wide range of topics including, STT MRAMs, MTJ based logic circuits, simulation and modeling strategies, fabrication of MTJ CMOS circuits, non-volatile computing with STT MRAMs, all spin logic, and spin information processing are explored. State-of-the-art modeling and simulation strategies of spin transfer torque based devices and circuits in a lucid manner are covered. Professional engineers find practical guidance in the development of micro-magnetic models of spin-torque based devices in object-oriented micro-magnetic framework (OOMMF) and compact modeling of STT based magnetic tunnel junctions in Verilog-A.The performance parameters and design aspects of STT MRAMs and MTJ based hybrid spintronic CMOS circuits are covered and case studies are presented demonstrating STT-MRAM design and simulation with a detailed analysis of results. The fundamental physics of STT based devices are presented with an emphasis on new advancements from recent years.
