This introductory course aims at helping students, researchers and engineers having little or no background in magnetism to better understand the physics and working principles of a new class of magnetic memories called MRAMs (Magnetic Random Access Memories) which are attracting an increasing interest in microelectronics industry. The courses cover various aspects of MRAM technology: the basic spintronics phenomena involved in MRAM, the materials, the various categories of MRAM (pros/cons, performances, degree of maturity), comparison with other technologies of non-volatile memories (Phase Change RAM and Resistive RAM) in terms of working principle, performance, foreseen applications, fabrication processes, and the prospects for low-power electronic circuits based on this hybrid CMOS/magnetic technology.
