Reducing spin pumping induced damping of a free layer of a memory device
A system and method of reducing spin pumping induced damping of a free layer of a memory device is disclosed. The memory device includes an anti-ferromagnetic material (AFM) pinning layer in contact with a bit line access electrode. The memory device also includes a pinned layer in contact with the AFM pinning layer, a tunnel barrier layer in contact with the pinned layer, and a free layer in contact with the tunnel barrier layer. The memory device includes a spin torque enhancing layer in contact with the free layer and in contact with an access transistor electrode. The spin torque enhancing layer is configured to substantially reduce spin pumping induced damping of the free layer.
