Abstract

MRAM are already used in low density applications such as microcontrollers or for spatial/avionics applications where they benefit from their radiation hardness. Thermally assisted writing allows extending the downsize scalability of both FIMS and STT-MRAM below the 20nm node. Within a few years, MRAM can play an important role in the memory hierarchy of electronic circuits. They may be first used as DRAM replacement below the 20nm node and in a second step even closer the logic units (Fig.10).
