Spin Transfer Torque Memory Devices from Materials to STT-RAM Applications

Integrating the distinct knowledge for the magnetism as well as the silicon manufacturing community, this book provides the knowledge needed by both, resulting in a much-needed overview of the characteristics of perpendicular magnetic films and the materials which can be used for spin transfer torque applications.

As such, STT is explained in detail, as are magnetic random access memories (MRAM), while a chapter on recent progress in STT-RAM rounds off the book.
