Abstract

See full text

The present invention is directed to a memory device including a memory cell coupled to two wiring lines at two ends thereof. The memory cell includes a memory element, which includes a magnetic free layer and a magnetic reference layer with a tunnel junction layer interposed therebetween, and a bi-directional two-terminal selector element having multiple threshold voltages coupled to the memory element in series. The magnetic free layer has a variable magnetization direction substantially perpendicular to a layer plane thereof and the magnetic reference layer has a fixed magnetization direction substantially perpendicular to a layer plane thereof. In an embodiment, the bi-directional two-terminal selector element includes two selector devices with each selector device including two electrodes with a switching layer interposed therebetween. In another embodiment, the bi-directional two-terminal selector element includes a selector device incorporating therein two switching layers.
