    摘要: A highly reliable magnetic memory exhibits enhanced data-holding stability at high storage density in a storage layer of a magnetoresistive effect element used for memory cells. A magnetic memory includes a memory cell array having first wirings, second wirings intersecting the first wirings and memory cells each provided at an intersection area of the corresponding first and second wirings. Each memory cell is selected when the corresponding first and second wirings are selected. Each memory cell includes a magnetoresistive effect element having a storage layer in which data is stored by magnetic fields generated when current flows the selected first and second wirings, a first magnetic member, having two ends, provided as partially surrounding each first wiring and the two ends being situated in a direction of easy axis of magnetization, to form a closed-loop magnetic circuitry with the storage layer, and a second magnetic member, having two ends, provided as partially surrounding each second wiring and the two ends being situated in a direction of hard axis of magnetization, to amplify magnetic fields applied to the storage layer in the direction of hard axis of magnetization.

    摘要: A write word line is disposed right under an MTJ element. The write word line extends in an X direction, and a lower surface of the line is coated with a yoke material which has a high permeability. A data selection line (read/write bit line) is disposed right on the MTJ element. A data selection line extends in a Y direction intersecting with the X direction, and an upper surface of the line is coated with the yoke material which has the high permeability. At a write operation time, a magnetic field generated by a write current flowing through a write word line B and data selection line functions on the MTJ element by the yoke material with good efficiency.

    摘要: A write word line is disposed right under a MTJ element. The write word line extends in an X direction, and side and lower surfaces of the write word line are coated with a hard magnetic material and yoke material. The hard magnetic material is magnetized by a surplus current passed through the write word line, and a characteristic of the MTJ element is corrected by residual magnetization. A data selection line (read/write bit line) is disposed right on the MTJ element. The data selection line extends in a Y direction intersecting with the X direction, and a part of the surface of the data selection line is coated with the yoke material.
