Magnetoelectric memory element comprising: a magnetic element (ELM) that has two equilibrium directions (P1, P2) in which its magnetization is stable, these direction not being mutually opposed; a piezoelectric or electrostrictive substrate (SP) mechanically coupled to said magnetic element; and a least a first electrode (EL1) and a second electrode (EL2), arranged so as to apply an electric field to the piezoelectric or electrostrictive substrate such that said substrate exerts on said magnetic element a non-isotropic mechanical stress, able to induce switching of the magnetization state of said magnetic element by magnetostrictive coupling. Memory cell comprising such a memory element. Direct-access non-volatile memory and programmable logic circuit comprising a plurality of such memory cells.

The invention relates to a submillimeter-sized hot-wire sensor (1) comprising a substrate (10), two support rods (11, 12), a metal wire (13) extending between the two ends of the support rods (11, 12), and electrical contacts (14, 15) disposed on the support rods, said contacts each being linked to one of the ends of the wire (13). The metal wire comprises at least two layers of metal materials, one of said layers being made of a material exhibiting a residual stress under tension and the other layer being made of a material exhibiting a residual stress under compression. The thicknesses of these metal layers are adapted so as to compensate the residual stresses between the various layers.

摘要:
A magnetoelectric memory element includes a magnetic element having an easy magnetization axis aligned along a first axis, means for applying to the magnetic element a magnetic polarization field aligned along a second axis not parallel to the first axis, a piezoelectric or electrostrictive substrate mechanically coupled with the magnetic element, and first and second electrodes arranged to apply an electrical field to the substrate so that the substrate exerts, on said magnetic element, a non-isotropic mechanical stress of a main direction generally oriented along a distinct third axis coplanar with the first and second axes. The magnetic element exhibits, by a combined effect of the magnetic polarization field and the easy magnetization axis, two distinct states of stable equilibrium of magnetization, corresponding to two not mutually opposed magnetization directions. The non-isotropic mechanical stress is sufficiently intense to induce a switchover between the two distinct states.
