摘要:
The invention concerns a magnetic memory, whereof each memory point consists of a magnetic tunnel junction (60), comprising: a magnetic layer, called trapped layer (61), whereof the magnetization is rigid; a magnetic layer, called free layer (63), whereof the magnetization may be inverse; and insulating layer (62), interposed between the free layer (73) and the trapped layer (71) and respectively in contact with said two layers. The free layer (63) is made with an amorphous or nanocrytallized alloy based on rare earth or a transition metal, the magnetic order of said alloy being of the ferromagnetic type, said free layer having a substantially planar magnetization.

摘要:
A system and method for writing to a magnetic memory written in a thermally assisted manner, each memory point formed by a magnetic tunnel junction, and having a substantially circular cross-section of the memory which is parallel to the plane of the layers forming the tunnel junction. The tunnel junction includes at least a trapped layer with a fixed magnetisation direction, a free layer with a variable magnetisation direction with an insulating layer arranged there between. The free layer is formed from at least one soft magnetic layer and a trapped layer, with the two layers being magnetically coupled by contact. During read operations and at rest, the operating temperature of the memory is lower than the blocking temperature of the free and trapped layers, respectively.

A magneto-optical read head for detecting magnetic transitions representing data stored in a magnetic recording medium as a sense layer having an optical property that is magnetic field-dependent, two magnetic shield layers respectively disposed on opposite sides of the sense layer and allowing magnetic flux from substantially only one of the magnetic transitions to interact with the sense layer at a time, with one of the magnetic shield layers being transparent at a wavelength allowing light at that wavelength to enter into and exit from the sense layer.

This magnetic memory with a thermally-assisted write, every storage cell of which consists of at least one magnetic tunnel junction, said tunnel junction comprising at least:one magnetic reference layer, the magnetization of which is always oriented in the same direction at the time of the read of the storage cell;one so-called “free” magnetic storage layer, the magnetization direction of which is variable;one insulating layer sandwiched between the reference layer and the storage layer.The magnetization direction of the reference layer is polarized in a direction that is substantially always the same at the time of a read due to magnetostatic interaction with another fixed-magnetization layer called the “polarizing layer”.

摘要:
A content-addressable random access memory having magnetic tunnel junction-based memory cells and methods for making and using same. The magnetic tunnel junction has first and second magnetic layers and can act as a data store and a data sense. Within each cell, registered data is written by setting a magnetic orientation of the first magnetic layer in the magnetic tunnel junction via current pulses in one or more current lines. Input data for comparison with the registered data can be similarly set through the magnetic orientation of the second magnetic layer via the current lines. The data sense is performed by measuring cell resistance, which depends upon the relative magnetic orientation of the magnetic layers. Since data storage, data input, and data sense are integrated into one cell, the memory combines higher densities with non-volatility. The memory can support high speed, reduced power consumption, and data masking.

The invention relates to a magnetic memory with write inhibit selection and the writing method for same. Each memory element of the invention comprises a magnetic tunnel junction (70) consisting of: a magnetic layer, known as the trapped layer (71), having hard magnetisation; a magnetic layer, known as the free layer (73), the magnetisation of which may be reversed; and an insulating layer (72) which is disposed between the free layer (73) and the trapped layer (71) and which is in contact with both of said layers. The free layer (73) is made from an amorphous or nanocrystalline alloy based on rare earth and a transition metal, the magnetic order of said alloy being of the ferrimagnetic type. The selected operating temperature of the inventive memory is close to the compensation temperature of the alloy.
