We demonstrate that a perpendicular magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) is capable of emulating an artificial spiked neuron. The magnetic stack has been designed so that the MTJ has two free layers, whose magnetization can be driven in a windmill-like dynamic by the spin transfer torque. The output-spiking rate is tunable by the dc bias voltage. […]

Spintec laboratory is opening a up-to three years engineer researcher position in the framework of the PEPR electronics (part of France 2030 strategy) – project EMCOM (emerging memories for computing).   Context: The cost of transferring information between different layers of storage and computing units now domi-nates the energy performance of conventional processors. This has […]

The large magnetometers currently used onboard satellites for space exploration cannot be installed in the tiny nanosatellites (cubesat) that are envisioned for multipoint measurements. As a first step towards the realization of a miniature space magnetometer, Spintec has demonstrated a strong amplification of the sensitivity of a magnetic field sensor on chip. The current magnetometers […]

Bayesian NN (BayNN) using Dropout-based approximation provides a systematic approach for estimating the uncertainty of predictions. Despite such merit, they are not suitable for implementation in an embedded device and in most cases cannot meet high-performance demands for certain applications. Computation in-memory (CiM) architecture with spintronics emerging non-volatile memories (NVMs) is a great candidate for […]

Context The automated resolution of cognitive tasks primarily relies on learning algorithms applied to neural networks which, when executed on standard CMOS based digital architectures, lead to a power consumption several orders of magnitude larger than what the brain would require. Moreover, Conventional Edge neural network solutions can only provide output predictions, lacking the ability […]

Subject and context : The aim of the project is to identify novel mechanisms to fully exploit specificities of d-wave superconductivity for ultrafast dynamic coupling with magnetism. The expected result is to open up prospects for non-dissipative spin transport over long distances, protected by superconducting coherence. Interface engineering and the DOS anisotropy of some high-Tc […]

Context. As part of the strategy France 2030 and the “Programme et Equipements Prioritaires de Recherche (PEPR)”, the French Spintronics community has recently obtained funding for the strategic and exploratory project “PEPR-SPIN”, to address spintronic innovations for a more frugal, agile and sustainable digital technology. Within the framework of this PEPR-SPIN project, Spintec is opening […]

SPINTEC has currently several postdoc positions open to work on spintransfer-torque nano-oscillators based on magnetic tunnel junctions. Spintorque driven excitations within magnetic tunnel junctions show a large range of interesting, non-linear dynamic effects that are promising for low power implementations within wireless communication or unconventional computing systems. The different projects address at the same time […]
