Abstract:
A magnetic junction and method for providing the magnetic junction are described. The magnetic junction includes a free layer, first and second reference layers, and first and second nonmagnetic spacer layers. The free layer is switchable between stable magnetic states. The first and second nonmagnetic spacer layers are between the free layer and first and second reference layers. The first and second reference layers have first and second reference layer magnetic lengths. The free layer has a free layer magnetic length less than the free layer physical length and less than the first and second reference layer magnetic lengths. The free layer magnetic length has a first end and a second end opposite to the first end. The free layer and the reference layers are oriented such that the first and second reference layer magnetic lengths extend past the first and second ends of the free layer.

Claim (Index 11):
A method for providing magnetic junction usable in a magnetic device, the method comprising:\n providing a magnetoresistive stack including at least a first fixed magnetic layer, a first nonmagnetic layer, a free magnetic layer, a second nonmagnetic layer and a second fixed magnetic layer, the first fixed magnetic layer corresponding to a first reference layer having a first reference layer magnetic length, the first nonmagnetic layer corresponding to a first nonmagnetic spacer layer, the free magnetic layer corresponding to a free layer switchable between a plurality of stable magnetic states using a write current passed through the magnetic junction, the second nonmagnetic layer corresponding to a second nonmagnetic spacer layer, the second fixed magnetic layer corresponding to at least a portion of a second reference layer, the first nonmagnetic spacer layer residing between the first reference layer and the free layer, the free layer being between the first nonmagnetic spacer layer and the second nonmagnetic spacer layer, the second nonmagnetic spacer layer being between the free layer and the second reference layer; defining a free layer magnetic length for the free layer, the free layer magnetic length being less than a first reference layer magnetic length of the first reference layer and being less than a second reference layer magnetic length of the second reference layer, the free layer magnetic length being less than a free layer physical length, the free layer magnetic length having a first end and a second end opposite to the first end, the free layer and the first reference layer being oriented such that the first reference layer magnetic length extends past the first end and past the second end of the free layer, the free layer and the second reference layer being oriented such that the second reference layer magnetic length extends past the first end and past the second end of the free layer.
