Patent
A method device and a method for operating a VCMA MTJ device
According to an aspect of the present inventive concept there is provided a method for operating a voltage-controlled magnetic anisotropy, VCMA, magnetic tunnel junction, MTJ, device, wherein the MTJ device is switchable between a first resistance state and a second resistance state, and wherein a first threshold voltage for switching the MTJ device from the second resistance state to the first resistance state is lower than a second threshold voltage for switching the MTJ device from the first resistance state to the second resistance state; the method comprising: applying a first voltage pulse across the MTJ device with an amplitude having an absolute value equal to or greater than the first threshold voltage and lower than the second threshold voltage, thereby setting the MTJ device to the first resistance state regardless of whether the MTJ device initially is in the first or second resistance state
