Magnetic memories based on magnetic tunnel junctions, called Spin-Transfer-Torque Random Access Memories (STT-MRAM), are stimulating a considerable interest in microelectronics thanks to their combination of assets: non-volatility, density, speed, endurance. In this work, a new flavor of these memories was developed allowing ultrafast (sub-ns) writing suitable for cache SRAM-type of applications.   Spin-transfer-torque (STT) […]

List of proposals for Master-2 internships proposed during Fall 2015, for internships to take place during Spring 2016.

A new H2020 project called GREAT has been funded at the last ICT call! Congratulations to Guillaume Prenat & the team ! Strategic objectives addressed Demonstrate the relevance of the magnetic Multifunctional Standardized Stack (MSS) in a CMOS process for the co-integration of digital, analog and RF IPs using Spin Transfer Torque devices. Investigate, design, develop, and analyze […]

A new ANR project Jeune Chercheur proposed by Vincent Baltz and called ASTRONICS has been funded at SPINTEC! Congratulations to Vincent! Project summary: In spintronics, the spin dependent transport properties of ferromagnetic (F) materials lie at the heart of devices working principles. Conversely, antiferromagnetic (AF) materials are so far used for their magnetic properties only. […]

2015 school start means a new website for Spintec! Welcome in our new website ! Stay tuned. The site will be continuously upgraded in the forthcoming weeks!

2 new ERC projects recently accepted for financing at SPINTEC! ERC Starting Grant – Smart design “Spin orbit mechanism in adaptive magnetization-reversal techniques for magnetic memory design“ Mihai Miron and ERC Advanced Grant – Magical “Magnetoelectronic Integrated Circuits with Multifunctional Capabilities“ Bernard Dieny Congratulations to Mihai and Bernard!

In the framework of the ERC proof of concept HYMAGINE, a startup company was launched in September 2014. The start-up is named eVaderis, and its main objective is to offer energy efficient control processors that will drastically reduce the overall systems power consumption while keeping high performances and intelligence levels.

Dans le cadre d’un contrat européen ERC (European Research Council), SPINTEC cherche à recruter un ingénieur procédé qui sera chargé de la fabrication des dispositifs d’électronique de spin pendant toute la durée du contrat.

J. Moritz, V. Baltz, B. Rodmacq, S. Auffret, B. Dieny Bit-patterned media have been proposed as a solution to circumvent the magnetic storage density limitation set by the superparamagnetic limit of conventional granular media. Intense research efforts have been directed towards the devel- opment of economically viable fabrication approaches for such media as well as […]
