  • Abstract
    The intrinsic reliability of MTJs is studied via the ramped breakdown voltage (Vbd), which has the benefit of a much shorter measurement time than TDDB where a constant applied voltage is used. Ramped breakdown measurements were performed on wafers at room temperature for both bias polarities.
