摘要:
An MRAM has: a memory cell including a first magnetoresistance element; and a reference cell including a second magnetoresistance element. The first magnetoresistance element has a first magnetization fixed layer, a first magnetization free layer, a first nonmagnetic layer sandwiched between the first magnetization fixed layer and the first magnetization free layer, a second magnetization fixed layer, a second magnetization free layer and a second nonmagnetic layer sandwiched between the second magnetization fixed layer and the second magnetization free layer. The first magnetization fixed layer and the first magnetization free layer have perpendicular magnetic anisotropy, and the second magnetization fixed layer and the second magnetization free layer have in-plane magnetic anisotropy. The first magnetization free layer and the second magnetization free layer are magnetically coupled to each other. Center of the second magnetization free layer is displaced in a first direction from center of the first magnetization free layer in a plane parallel to each layer. Whereas, the second magnetoresistance element has: a third magnetization free layer whose magnetization easy axis is parallel to a second direction; a third magnetization fixed layer whose magnetization direction is fixed in a third direction perpendicular to the second direction; and a third nonmagnetic layer sandwiched between the third magnetization fixed layer and the third magnetization free layer. The third magnetization fixed layer and the third magnetization free layer have in-plane magnetic anisotropy.
