Query: Iridium Enabled Field-free Spin-orbit Torque Switching of Perpendicular
  Magnetic Tunnel Junction Device   Writing magnetic bits by spin-orbit torques (SOTs) arising from spin Hall
effect creates new possibilities for ultrafast and low-power magnetoresistive
random access memory (MRAM). For perpendicular MRAM, an extra in-plane field is
required to break the symmetry for the deterministic SOT writing of the
perpendicular storage layer. Although schemes have been demonstrated in
external-field-free SOT switching of a perpendicular layer, practically
integrating them with perpendicular MTJs still appears to be challenging. Here,
we present experimental demonstration of spin-orbit torques (SOTs) switching a
perpendicular magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) device without applying an
external magnetic field. An Ir layer is used to serve dual-purpose of both
injecting the pure spin current via spin Hall effect and mediating an in-plane
exchange field to the perpendicular free layer of the MTJ. Robust field-free
SOT switching with pulsed write path current is demonstrated for various MTJ
sizes ranging from 50 nm to 500 nm. The effect of MTJ size and pulse width on
the critical switching current is studied. Combined micromagnetic simulations
are carried out to provide in-depth analysis of the switching dynamics as well
as the thermal effect on the switching.
