摘要： A write line is covered with a yoke material. The recording layer of an MTJ element is exchange-coupled to the yoke material. The total magnetic volume ΣMsi×ti of the recording layer of the MTJ element and a portion of the yoke material that is exchange-coupled to the recording layer is smaller than the magnetic volume ΣMsi′×ti′ of the remaining portion of the yoke material that covers the write line.

摘要： A recording layer of an MTJ element is constituted by using a high crystal magnetic anisotropic material. A write wiring used to write data into the MTJ element is covered with a magnetic layer, and the write wiring and the magnetic layer are exchange-coupled with each other. A sum of a magnetic volume of the magnetic layer at a part opposed to the recording layer of the MTJ element and that of the recording layer is set smaller than a magnetic volume of the magnetic layer at any other part.
