What is SOT-MRAM?
MRAM that flips magnetization by spin-orbit torque from a current in a heavy-metal layer. The write and read current paths are separate, giving fast, durable writes.
Field: Emerging memories
SOT-MRAM in the explanations
SOT-MRAM flips the free layer using spin-orbit torque generated by the spin Hall effect when current flows through a heavy-metal layer, such as tungsten or platinum, beneath the MTJ.
