Integrated circuits including magnetic random access memory structures having reduced switching energy barriers for differential bit operation and methods for fabricating the same

Abstract

Integrated circuits and methods for fabricating integrated circuits are provided herein. The integrated circuit includes a plurality of MRAM structures. The integrated circuit further includes a first lower MTJ stack with the first lower
MTJ stack including a first lower free layer. The integrated circuit further includes a spin orbit torque coupling layer overlying the first lower MTJ stack. The integrated circuit further includes a first upper MTJ stack overlying the spin orbit torque coupling layer and the first lower MTJ stack with the first upper MTJ stack including a first upper free layer. The switching energy barrier for each of the first lower free layer and the first upper free layer is reduced in the presence of an electrical voltage passing through each of the MTJ stacks. The first lower free layer and said first upper free layer are configured to have complement magnetiza
