Title:
MAGNETIC RANDOM ACCESS MEMORY, AND INITIALIZATION METHOD AND WRITING METHOD FOR MAGNETIC RANDOM ACCESS MEMORY
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2010/004881
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A magnetic memory cell is provided with a magnetization recording layer (10), a first terminal (14a), a second terminal (14b), a magnetization fixed layer (30), and a nonmagnetic layer (32).  The magnetization recording layer (10) is a ferromagnetic layer with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy.  The first terminal (14a) is connected to one end of a first region (11) of the magnetization recording layer (10).  The second terminal (14b) is connected to the other end of the first region (11).  The nonmagnetic layer (32) is provided on the first region (11).  The magnetization fixed layer (30) is provided on the nonmagnetic layer (32) on the opposite side from the first region (11).  The magnetization recording layer (10) is provided with a first extended portion outside the first terminal (14a) of the magnetization recording layer (10), and a characteristic change structure (42, 44) is provided on the first extended portion for the purpose of substantially changing the magnetization reversal characteristic of the magnetization recording layer (10), which.
