Title:
MAGNETORESISTANCE EFFECT ELEMENT AND MRAM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2008/072421
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A magnetoresistance effect element comprising magnetization free layer (1) and fixed magnetization layer (3) connected via nonmagnetic layer (2) to the magnetization free layer (1). The magnetization free layer (1) includes magnetization reversal region (13), first fixed magnetization region (11) and second fixed magnetization region (12). The magnetization reversal region (13) with reversible magnetization overlaps the fixed magnetization layer (3). The first fixed magnetization region (11) with first fixed magnetization is connected to one end (13a) of the magnetization reversal region (13). The second fixed magnetization region (12) with second fixed magnetization is connected to the other end (13b) of the magnetization reversal region (13). The first fixed magnetization region (11) and the magnetization reversal region (13) form one three-way junction, while the second fixed magnetization region (12) and the magnetization reversal region (13) form another three-way junction.
