Abstract

Artificial Intelligence Computer Networks and Communications Computer Science Applications Hardware and Architecture Information Systems Electrical and Electronic Engineering
In contrast to the low-RA STT-MRAM for memory applications, high-RA (> 500 Ω-μ m2) STT-MRAM with high cell resistance (1 M Ω) is required to support energy-efficient in-memory computing beyond 10 POPS/W. Scaling the coercive magnetic field and cell dimension and increasing the MgO thickness are found critical for enlarging RA and write margin.
