    摘要: An exemplary embodiment of a magnetic random access memory (MRAM) device includes a magnetic tunnel junction having a free layer, a first electrode (first magnetic field generating means) having a first portion that covers a surface of the free layer, and an electric power source connected to the first electrode via a connection that covers less than half of the first portion of the first electrode. Another exemplary embodiment of an MRAM device includes a magnetic tunnel junction, first and second electrodes (first and second magnetic field generating means) directly connected to the magnetic tunnel junction on opposite sides of the magnetic tunnel junction, and an electric power source having one pole connected to the first electrode via a first connection and having a second pole connected to the second electrode via a second connection, wherein the first and second connections are laterally offset from the connections between the first and second electrodes and the magnetic tunnel junction. Methods of operating and manufacturing these magnetic random access memories are also disclosed.

    摘要: A magnetic RAM using a thermo-magnetic spontaneous hall effect, and a data writing and reading method using the magnetic RAM are provided. The magnetic RAM includes a MOS transistor, a memory layer, a heating means, and a write line. The memory layer is connected to the source of the MOS transistor and writes data to itself. The heating means heats the memory layer. The write line applies a magnetic field to the memory layer in order to change the magnetization state of the heated memory layer. The magnetic RAM can increase the coercivity caused by highly-integration and improves the thermal security of a cell. The MRAM can operate at an ultra speed because of a small cell resistance. In addition, since the magnetic RAM can be simply manufactured by an existing semiconductor manufacturing process, the manufacturing costs are reduced. Furthermore, since the magnetic RAM writes or reads data using the fact that a spontaneous hall voltage greatly differs according to the magneticization state of a memory layer, it provides a high data sensing margin.
