Abstract

A technique is provided for a thermally assisted magnetoresistive random access memory device. A magnetic tunnel junction is formed. Contact wiring having a top contact electrode and a bottom contact electrode is formed. The contact wiring provides write bias to heat the magnetic tunnel junction. A multilayer dielectric encapsulant is configured to retain the heat within the magnetic tunnel junction.
