From Spintronic Devices to Hybrid CMOS/Magnetic System On Chip

"Beyond CMOS" is today one of the major research directions in semiconductor industries to address current integrated circuit issues. Many alternative technologies are currently under investigation to deal with the scaling limits of CMOS technology. This paper presents the design of a full system on chip based on a hybrid CMOS/Magnetic process. Spin-transfer-torque magnetic tunnel junctions are used to design different functions such as logic, memory, security and analog IP blocks.
