摘要:
A magnetic memory is composed of: a magnetoresistance element including a free magnetic layer; a first interconnection extending in a first direction obliquely to an easy axis of the free magnetic layer; a second interconnection extending in a second direction substantially orthogonal to the first direction; and a write circuit writing data into the free magnetic layer through developing a first write current on the first interconnection, and then developing a second write current on the second interconnection with the first write current turned on. The free magnetic layer includes: first to N-th ferromagnetic layers and first to (N−1)-th non-magnetic layers with N being equal to or more than 4, the i-th non-magnetic layer being disposed between the i-th and (i+1)-th ferromagnetic layers with i being any of natural numbers equal to or less than N−1. The free magnetic layer is designed so that antiferromagnetic coupling(s) between the j-th and (j+1)-th ferromagnetic layers is stronger than that between the first and second ferromagnetic layers, j being any of integers ranging from 2 to N−2.
