Abstract:
A hybrid magnetoelectronic spin-based memory cell comprising:an electron spin-based memory element situated on a silicon based substrate, said electron spin-based memory element including: i) a first ferromagnetic layer with a changeable magnetization state; ii) a second ferromagnetic layer with a non-changeable magnetization state; iii) a base layer which is less than 1 micron in thickness and is situated between said first ferromagnetic layer and said second ferromagnetic layer, said base layer comprising a conductive paramagnetic material capable of carrying a spin polarized current; iv) a low transmission barrier also situated between said first ferromagnetic layer and said second ferromagnetic layer; a memory cell selector coupled to said electron spin-based memory, said memory cell selector including a semiconductor based isolation element.
