Assignee: EVERSPIN TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
Field: Electrical machinery, apparatus, energy (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H  G | IPC G  H

Claim 0:
1. A magnetoresistive device, comprising:
a first electrode;
a reference layer having a fixed magnetic state;
a free layer having a magnetic state, where the magnetic state of the free layer stores a first value when in a first magnetic state and stores a second value when in a second magnetic state;
a dielectric layer between the free layer and the reference layer;
a first spin orbit torque (SOT) segment, wherein electric current through the first SOT segment generates spin current; and
a second SOT segment, wherein electric current through the second SOT segment generates spin current;
wherein the first SOT segment and the second SOT segment are at different radial positions of the magnetoresistive device, and
wherein at least one of the first SOT segment or the second SOT segment extends to the first electrode or extends up at least a portion of a sidewall of the first electrode.
