Abstract

Oscillators and methods of manufacturing and operating an oscillator are provided, the oscillators include a base free layer having a variable magnetization direction, and at least one oscillation unit on the base free layer. The oscillation unit may include a free layer element contacting the base free layer and having a width less than a width of the base free layer, a pinned layer element separated from the free layer element, and a separation layer element between the free layer element and the pinned layer element. A plurality of oscillation units may be arranged on the base free layer.
