Abstract

We review recent results and discuss challenges and prospects of nonvolatile magnetic random access memory (MRAM). In particular, we will focus on recent developments in magnetoelectric memory (MeRAM), where electric field control is used to replace existing current-controlled write mechanisms to achieve lower power dissipation and higher density. We will discuss scaling trends and prototype crossbar MeRAM demonstrations. We will also discuss the use of spin-orbit torque (SOT) effects for writing with reduced switching currents.
