    摘要: A method for writing a memory cell of a magnetoresistive random access memory (MRAM) device includes, sequentially, providing a first magnetic field in a first direction, providing a second magnetic field in a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction, turning off the first magnetic field, providing a third magnetic field in a third direction opposite to the first direction, turning off the second magnetic field, and turning off the third magnetic field. A method for switching magnetic moments in an MRAM memory cell includes providing a magnetic field in a direction forming a blunt angle with a direction of a bias magnetic field. A method for reading an MRAM device includes partially switching magnetic moments in a reference memory cell to generate a reference current; measuring a read current through a memory cell to be read; and comparing the read current with the reference current.

    摘要: A magnetic random access memory with lower switching field is provided. The memory includes a first antiferromagnetic layer, a pinned layer formed on the first antiferromagnetic layer, a tunnel barrier layer formed on the pinned layer, a ferromagnetic free layer formed on the tunnel barrier layer, and a multi-layered metal layer. The multi-layered metal layer is formed by at least one metal layer, where the direction of the anisotropy axis of the antiferromagnetic layer and the ferromagnetic layer and that of the ferromagnetic free layer are arranged orthogonally. The provided memory has the advantage of lowering the switching field of the ferromagnetic layer, and further lowering the writing current.
