    摘要: An spin-injection FET includes a first ferromagnetic body whose magnetization direction is fixed, a second ferromagnetic body whose magnetization direction is changed by spin-injection current, a gate electrode which is formed on a channel between the first and second ferromagnetic bodies, a first driver/sinker which controls a direction of the spin-injection current to determine the magnetization direction of the second ferromagnetic body, the spin-injection current being passed through the channel, a wiring through which assist current is passed, the assist current generating a magnetic field in a magnetization easy axis direction of the second ferromagnetic body, and a second driver/sinker which controls the direction of the assist current passed through the conductive line.

    摘要: It is possible to perform a writing operation with low power consumption and a low current, and enhance reliability without causing element breakdown. There are provided a first magnetization-pinned layer including at least one magnetic film in which a magnetization direction is pinned; a second magnetization-pinned layer including at least one magnetic film in which a magnetization direction is pinned; a magnetic recording layer formed between the first magnetization-pinned layer and the second magnetization-pinned layer and including at least one magnetic film in which a magnetization direction is changeable by injecting spin-polarized electrons; a tunnel barrier layer formed between the first magnetization-pinned layer and the magnetic recording layer; and a nonmagnetic intermediate layer formed between the magnetic recording layer and the second magnetization-pinned layer. The magnetization direction of the magnetic film of the first magnetization-pinned layer on the magnetic recording layer side is substantially anti-parallel to the magnetization direction of the magnetic film of the second magnetization-pinned layer on the magnetic recording layer side.

    摘要: A write word line is disposed right under an MTJ element. The write word line extends in an X direction, and a lower surface of the line is coated with a yoke material which has a high permeability. A data selection line (read/write bit line) is disposed right on the MTJ element. A data selection line extends in a Y direction intersecting with the X direction, and an upper surface of the line is coated with the yoke material which has the high permeability. At a write operation time, a magnetic field generated by a write current flowing through a write word line B and data selection line functions on the MTJ element by the yoke material with good efficiency.
