    摘要: It is made possible to provide a magnetoresistive effect element that can reverse magnetization direction with a low current, having low areal resistance (RA) and a high TMR ratio. A magnetoresistive effect element includes: a film stack that includes a magnetization free layer including a magnetic layer in which magnetization direction is changeable, a magnetization pinned layer including a magnetic layer in which magnetization direction is pinned, and an intermediate layer provided between the magnetization free layer and the magnetization pinned layer, the intermediate layer being an oxide containing boron (B) and an element selected from the group consisting of Ca, Mg, Sr, Ba, Ti, and Sc. Current is applied bidirectionally between the magnetization pinned layer and the magnetization free layer through the intermediate layer, so that the magnetization of the magnetization free layer is reversible.

    摘要: A magnetoresistive effect element includes a first magnetic layer, a second magnetic layer, and a first spacer layer. The first magnetic layer has an invariable magnetization direction. The second magnetic layer has a variable magnetization direction, and contains at least one element selected from Fe, Co, and Ni, at least one element selected from Ru, Rh, Pd, Ag, Re, Os, Ir, Pt, and Au, and at least one element selected from V, Cr, and Mn. The spacer layer is formed between the first magnetic layer and the second magnetic layer, and made of a nonmagnetic material. A bidirectional electric current flowing through the first magnetic layer, the spacer layer, and the second magnetic layer makes the magnetization direction of the second magnetic layer variable.

    摘要: An MTJ element has two magnetic layers and a nonmagnetic layer. The resistance of the MTJ element, which varies depending on whether the two magnetic layers are magnetized parallel or antiparallel. In an MRAM adapted to write data into the MTJ element by causing a write wiring to generate induced magnetic flux and consequently changing the direction of magnetization of the recording layer, the MTJ element is a perpendicular MTJ element in which each of the two magnetic layers is magnetized in a direction perpendicular to its plane. The write wiring is placed in a direction perpendicular to the direction of the thickness of the MTJ element and applies a generated magnetic field to the magnetic layers of the MTJ element in the direction in which they are magnetized. Magnetic yokes hold the MTJ element in the direction of its thickness.
