摘要:
The optical head is arranged such that a semiconductor laser and a photodetector are formed via a buffer layer on the same substrate; and an opening portion is formed in the substrate under the semiconductor laser and the photodetector. This optical head is further arranged by that the opening portion is filled with a first transparent layer; a diffraction grating is formed on a lower surface of the first transparent layer; a second transparent layer is stacked on a lower surface of the first transparent layer; and a condenser lens is formed on a lower surface of the transparent layer. In this optical head, laser light emitted from the semiconductor laser is penetrated through the substrate, the first transparent layer, the diffraction grating, and the second transparent layer, and condensed toward a place just under the condenser lens by the condenser lens, thereby forming a light spot on an optical storage medium positioned apart from the condenser lens, whereas reflection light reflected from the optical storage medium is penetrated through the condenser lens and the second transparent layer, diffracted by the diffraction grating toward a light receiving plane of the photodetector, and further penetrated through the first transparent layer to be received by the photodetector.

An optical head including a semiconductor laser source, a condenser lens, a photodiode for detecting a laser light emitter from said semiconductor laser source, and an optical coupler unit for collecting the laser light to the photodiode. A chromatic aberration W of condenser lens is satisfied by an expression W(h, NA)={(NA)3&Dgr;&lgr;/4&lgr;}h, where h is a height of incident light from an optical axis on a hologram, NA is a numerical aperture, &Dgr;&lgr; is a wavelength fluctuation, and a &lgr; is a wavelength at recording. The height h is determined so that the chromatic aberration W becomes equal to or less than &lgr;/4.

A magnetoresistive effect element is provided that exhibits a low writing current density while maintaining a high TMR ratio. A laminated structure of a second ferromagnetic layer/a non-magnetic layer/a first ferromagnetic layer is employed as a recording layer. A material of bcc crystalline structure, such as CoFeB, is employed as a second ferromagnetic layer being in contact with MgO barrier layer. A material whose anisotropy field Hk⊥ in the perpendicular direction is large and that satisfies the relationship of 2πrMs

There is provided a magnetic memory with using a magnetoresistive effect element of a spin-injection magnetization reversal type, in which a multi-value operation is possible and whose manufacturing and operation are simple. A preferred aim of this is solved by providing two or more magnetoresistive effect elements which are electrically connected in series to each other and by selecting one of the series-connected elements depending on a direction of a current carried in the series-connected elements, a magnitude thereof, and an order of the current thereof for performing the writing operation. For example, it is solved by differentiating plane area sizes of the respective magnetoresistive effect elements which have the same film structure from each other so as to differentiate resistance change amounts caused by respective magnetization reversal and threshold current values required for respective magnetization reversal from each other.
摘要:
In MRAM using a spin-transfer torque switching, a sufficient writing operation with a small memory cell is realized, and a reading current is enlarged while a reading disturbance is suppressed. In the case where the free layer of the tunnel magneto-resistance element is located on the side of the bit line, using a PMOS transistor, and in the case where the fixed layer of the tunnel magneto-resistance element is located on the side of the bit line, using an NMOS transistor, an anti-parallel writing in a source grounding operation is performed. The reading and writing operation margin is improved by performing a reading operation in an anti-parallel writing direction.
摘要:
Provided is a magnetic random access memory employing spin torque magnetization reversal having a small write current value is applied. The memory includes: a switching element the conduction of which is controlled by a gate electrode, and three magnetoresistance effect elements connected to the switching element in series. Each magnetoresistance effect element may be a TMR element or a GMR element that includes a multilayered film composed of a fixed layer, a non-magnetic layer and a free layer. The central element serves as a storage element. The magnetoresistance effect elements are manufactured such that an absolute value of current necessary for changing a magnetization direction of at least one of the magnetoresistance effect elements located at both ends is larger than an absolute value of current necessary for changing a magnetization direction of the central magnetoresistance effect element.
摘要:
A conduction control device comprises a first ferromagnetic region having relatively high coercivity, a second ferromagnetic region having relatively low coercivity and a junction region disposed between the first and second ferromagnetic regions. The device also comprises a gate for applying a field to the junction region so as to control charge carrier density within the junction region.
