Abstract :
Original approach to MRAM I-V characteristics simulation by using SPICE-like simulator was presented. An electrical macromodel of MRAM cell based of spin dependent transport tunneling processes in ferromagnetic/insulator/semiconductor nanostructures accounting for defects in the insulator and at its interfaces was realized within Verilog-AMS computer language and used for simulation of the memory devices with CAD software.
