Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/118395
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Disclosed is a magnetic memory element provided with: a first magnetization free layer which is constructed from a ferromagnetic body having perpendicular magnetic anisotropy; a reference layer which is provided near the first magnetization free layer; a non-magnetic layer which is provided adjacent to the reference layer; and a step formation layer which is provided under the first magnetization free layer. The first magnetization free layer is provided with: a first magnetization fixed region which has magnetization fixed therein; a second magnetization fixed region which has magnetization fixed therein; and a magnetization free region which is connected to the first magnetization fixed region and the second magnetization fixed region. The first magnetization free layer has at least one from among a step, a groove, and a projection.
