  • Abstract
    This paper presents modeling and analysis of 1T-1MTJ STT RAM memory arrays under process variations and thermal disturbances. Bounds on the magnetic material design space for embedded applications are illustrated. Impact of relaxed timing/area and the effect of scaling for 1T-1MTJ bitcells have been evaluated.
