Classification: CPC H  G | IPC G  H

Claim 15:
16. A magnetoresistive device comprising:
a first electrode;
a synthetic antiferromagnetic (SAF) having a fixed magnetic state and including:
a first magnetic layer;
a second magnetic layer; and
a coupling layer disposed between the first magnetic layer and the second magnetic layer;

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 SAF;
a spin orbit torque (SOT) segment extending to the first electrode or extending up at least a portion of a sidewall of the first electrode, wherein electric current through the SOT segment generates spin current; and
control circuitry electrically connected to the SOT segment.
