Abstract:
As one of the key components in the non-volatile full adder (NV-FA), spin transfer torque assisted voltagecontrolled magnetic anisotropy magnetic tunnel junction (STT assisted VCMA-MTJ) will possess superiordevelopment prospects in internet of things, artificial intelligence and other fields due to its fast switchingspeed, low power consumption and good stability. However, with the downscaling of magnetic tunnel junction(MTJ) and the improvement of chip integration, the effects of process deviation on the performances of MTJdevice as well as NV-FA circuit become more and more important. Based on the magnetization dynamics ofSTT assisted VCMA-MTJ, a new electrical model of STT assisted VCMA-MTJ, in which the effects of the filmgrowth variation and the etching variation are taken into account, is established to study the effects of theabove deviations on the performances of MTJ device and NV-FA circuit. It is shown that the MTJ state fails tobe switched under the free layer thickness deviation gtf >= 6% or the oxide layer thickness deviation gtox >= 0.7%. The sensing margin (SM) is reduced by 17.5% as the tunnel magnetoresistance ratio deviation b increasesto 30%. The writing error rate can be effectively reduced by increasing Vb1, and increasing Vb2 when writing '0'or reducing Vb2 when writing '1' in the NV-FA circuit. The output error rate can also be effectively reduced byincreasing the driving voltage of logical operation Vdd
