Abstract:
MRAM element having a magnetic tunnel junction including a reference layer, a storage layer, a tunnel barrier layer between the reference and storage layers, and a storage antiferromagnetic layer. The storage antiferromagnetic layer has a first function of exchange-coupling a storage magnetization of the storage layer and a second function of heating the magnetic tunnel junction when a heating current in passed in the magnetic tunnel junction. The MRAM element has better data retention and low writing temperature.
