Abstract
Although spin transfer torque (STT)-based magnetic tunneling junction (MTJ) owns advantages of nonvolatility, nonlimited endurance, and fast write/read, its demand for high current density significantly casts a shadow over its future prospects. Recently, a novel three-terminal MTJ cell that combines voltage-controlled magnetic anisotropy (VCMA) effect and negative capacitance (NC) effect is proposed. Drawing support from the NC amplified VCMA effect and the three-step operation scenario, this novel MTJ cell can dramatically lower the energy consumption to fJ as well as keep high operation speed within nanoseconds. The feasibility of the proposed NC enhanced VCMA spintronics device for memory and logic application is proved by extensive physical simulation in our previous work. However, a SPICE compatible compact model of the proposed NC enhanced VCMA spintronics device is still demanded for circuit and system level evaluation. In this paper, we provide an accurate and fast compact model of NC enhanced VCMA device for both memory and logic applications.
