摘要: A magnetic memory device comprises a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) connecting to a bit line to a sense line through an isolation transistor. The MTJ includes a ferromagnetic layer having a magnetic hard axis. An assist current line overlies the bit line and is insulated from the bit line. The MTJ is switchable between a first, relatively high resistance state and a second, relatively low resistance state. The assist current line applies a magnetic field along the magnetic hard axis in the ferromagnetic layer, independently of current flow through the MTJ for assisting switching of the MTJ between the first and second states.

摘要: A magnetoresistive memory element including a trapped magnetic region and a free magnetic region separated by a barrier layer. The free magnetic region comprises a stacking of at least two antiferromagnetically-coupled ferromagnetic layers, a layer magnetic moment vector being associated with each layer, the resulting magnetic moment vector, equal to the sum of the layer magnetic moment vectors, having an amplitude smaller than at least 40% of the amplitude of the layer magnetic moment vector of maximum amplitude. The anisotropy field and/or the demagnetizing field tensor is not identical for the at least two ferromagnetic layers, whereby the angular deviations of the layer magnetic moment vectors are different at the time of the application of an external magnetic field, which enables at least two methods for directly writing into the memory element, as well as its initialization.
