    摘要: An improved and novel MRAM device with magnetic memory elements and circuitry for controlling magnetic memory elements is provided. The circuitry, for example, transistor (12a) having a gate (17a), a drain (18) and a source (16a) is integrated on a substrate (11) and coupled to a magnetic memory element (43) on the circuitry through a plug conductor (19a) and a conductor line (45). The circuitry is fabricated first under the CMOS process and then magnetic memory elements (43, 44). Digit line (29) and bit line (48) are placed under and on top of magnetic memory element (43), respectively, and enabled to access magnetic memory element (43). These lines are enclosed by a high permeability layer (31, 56, 58) excluding a surface facing magnetic memory element (43), which shields and focuses a magnetic field toward magnetic memory element (43).

    摘要: A magnetic memory cell with increased GMR ratio includes first and second layers of magnetic material stacked in parallel, overlying relationship and separated by a layer of non-magnetic material sandwiched between the first and second layers of magnetic material. Each of the first and second layers is switchable between a first and a second magnetic state and is formed to switch states with the application of a substantially equal magnetic field. A third layer of magnetic material is positioned adjacent one of the first and second layers of magnetic material so as to alter the amount of magnetic field required to switch the states of the one of the first and second layers of magnetic material. The third layer of magnetic material can be formed with a width larger than the cell width to increase the magnetic width of the cell and reduce the magnetic field required to switch states.

    摘要: A first layer of non-magnetic material is positioned on a layer of an oxide of a magnetic material (e.g. NiO). First and second layers of magnetic material are stacked in parallel, overlying relationship and separated by a second layer of non-magnetic material sandwiched therebetween to form a magnetic memory cell. The magnetic memory cell is positioned on the first layer of nonmagnetic material so as to sandwich the first nonmagnetic layer between the oxide and the first magnetic layer of the cell. The first layer of non-magnetic material has a thickness (e.g. approximately 7 .ANG.) which prevents the oxide from pinning the first layer of magnetic material and adapts the first layer of magnetic material to the layer of oxide so as to increase the GMR ratio of the magnetic memory cell.

Magnetic field generated by word current (13, 14) superimposed in portion of GMR material (11) so that a total strength of magnetic field increases proportionally. The same word current is passed through the portion of GMR material (11) multiple times, thus producing equivalent word field by many times as large word current in a conventional MRAM cell.
