    Abstract: A magnetoresistance effect element (100) includes a heavy metal layer (11) that includes a heavy metal and that is formed to extend in a first direction, a recording layer (12) that includes a ferromagnetic material and that is provided adjacent to the heavy metal layer (11), a barrier layer (13) that includes an insulating material and that is provided on the recording layer (12) with being adjacent to a surface of the recording layer (12) opposite to the heavy metal layer (11), and a reference layer (14) that includes a ferromagnetic material and that is provided adjacent to a surface of the barrier layer (13), the surface being opposite to the recording layer (12). The direction of the magnetization of the reference layer (14) has a component substantially fixed in the first direction, and the direction of the magnetization of the recording layer (12) has a component variable in the first direction. A current having a direction same as the first direction is introduced to the heavy metal layer (11) to thereby enable the magnetization of the recording layer (12) to be inverted.

    Abstract: A memory cell (101) is connected to a word line (WL), a bit line (BL), and a power supply line (PL), and includes a flip-flop storing data based on a change in resistance value of a magnetic tunnel junction element, and, a power gating field-effect transistor including a drain that is one end of a current path connected to the power supply line, and which has another end connected to the flip-flop. The ON and OFF states of the power gating field-effect transistor are controlled based on a control signal applied to a control terminal of the power gating field-effect transistor.
