Highly nonlinear magnetic tunnel junctions for dense magnetic random access memories

Номер: US20040109347A1

MRAMs are provided with cells offering low current leakage for partially selected cells. MRAM cells are made with magnetic tunnel junctions having barriers that meet predetermined low barrier heights and predetermined thicknesses. The barrier heights are preferably about 1.5 eV or less. The predetermined thicknesses are calculated to meet power and speed requirements. The predetermined low barrier heights and predetermined thicknesses modify a nonlinear term relating current through to voltage across the magnetic tunnel junction. The modification of the nonlinear term also modifies the amount of current that flows through a magnetic tunnel junction at various voltages. At low voltages, current through the magnetic tunnel junction will be disproportionately lower than current through a conventional magnetic tunnel junction. This decreases leakage current through partially selected MRAM cells and power. At higher voltages, current through the magnetic tunnel junction is adequate for a wide ...

A component function for the input signal (e.g., an Intrinsic Mode Function (IMF)) is then generated based on the sawtooth or triangle wave function and the upper and lower envelopes. In various embodiments, the results generated in sawtooth space are reversely transformed into the original data space of the input signal. In this manner, an input signal may be decomposed into one or more component functions without the time-consuming and relatively unpredictable sifting process of the Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) method.

The system is controlled to switch from an island operation control mode to a grid-connection control mode. At a moment of switching, the online control mode is smoothly switched to by changing a power instruction and performing phase tracking on a current grid voltage, so that continuous operation of the system is maintained.

SHADOW-EFFECT COMPENSATED FABRICATION OF MAGNETIC TUNNEL JUNCTION (MTJ) ELEMENTS

Номер: US20170047510A1
Принадлежит: Qualcomm Inc

Shadow-effect compensated fabrication of magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) semiconductor elements is disclosed. Providing shadow-effect compensated fabrication of MTJ elements can provide reduced free layer sizing for enhanced MTJ operational margin. In certain aspects, to reduce size of a free layer during fabrication of an MTJ to provide enhanced write and retention symmetry, ion beam etching (IBE) fabrication process is employed to fabricate a free layer smaller than the pinned layer. To avoid asymmetrical footing being fabricated in free layer due to shadow-effect of neighboring MTJs, an ion beam directed at the MTJ is shadow-effect compensated. The angle of incidence of the ion beam directed at the MTJ is varied as the MTJ is rotated to be less steep when another MTJ is in directional line of the ion beam and the MTJ being fabricated. Thus, the free layer is etched more uniformly in the MTJ while avoiding increased etching damage.

Method for inhibiting multiple inverter stations from entering passive control mode in island state

Номер: US0010218184B2

The present invention provides a method for inhibiting multiple inverter stations from entering a passive control mode in an island state. The method includes dividing inverter stations into groups in advance; a principle for group division is dividing inverter stations whose alternating-current sides are connected to each other through an alternating-current line in a normal running condition into a group; priorities of the inverter stations are preset in each group to tune relevant fixed values of the inverter stations for island detection; a tuning principle is that an inverter station with a higher priority has a more sensitive relevant fixed value, and an island state is more easily detected for the corresponding inverter station; an inverter station for which an island state is detected can enter a passive control mode only when all the other inverter stations with priorities higher than the priority of the inverter station in the group send enabling signals.
