    摘要: A magnetic memory element includes a laminated construction of a first electrode, a first pinned layer, a first intermediate layer, a memory layer, a second intermediate layer, a second pinned layer and a second electrode, and a third electrode coupled to the first intermediate layer and not directly coupled to the memory layer. The magnetization directions of the first pinned layer, the second pinned layer, and the memory layer are parallel or antiparallel to each other. The magnetization direction of the memory layer takes a first direction when the current is passed with a first polarity so that the current flowing through the first pinned layer exceeds a first threshold. The magnetization direction of the memory layer takes a second direction when the current is passed with a second polarity so that the current flowing through the first pinned layer exceeds a second threshold.

    摘要: A magnetic memory element is provided with first and second ferromagnetic fixed layers, a ferromagnetic memory layer, nonmagnetic first and second intermediate layers. The memory layer is disposed between the first and second fixed layers, and has a variable magnetization direction. In order to cancel asymmetry of a write-in current of the element, the element is provided so that the memory layer receives a larger perpendicular stray field from the first fixed layer than from the second fixed layer, and then a magnetization direction of a portion of the memory layer being nearest to the first intermediate layer and the magnetization direction of the first fixed layer are antiparallel to each other whenever a magnetization direction of a portion of the memory layer being nearest to the second intermediate layer and the magnetization direction of the second fixed layer are parallel to each other, and vice versa.

A third magnetic layer is provided between the first and second magnetic layers. The direction of magnetization of the third ferromagnetic layer is variable. A first intermediate layer is provided between the first and the third magnetic layers. A second intermediate layer is provided between the second and the third magnetic layers.

The laminated body includes a first ferromagnetic layer with a magnetization substantially fixed in a first direction; a second ferromagnetic layer with a variable magnetization direction; a first nonmagnetic layer disposed between the first ferromagnetic layer and the second ferromagnetic layer; a third ferromagnetic layer with a variable magnetization direction; and a fourth ferromagnetic layer with a magnetization substantially fixed in a second direction, wherein at least one of the first and second direction is generally perpendicular to the film plane. The magnetization direction of the second ferromagnetic layer is determinable in response to the orientation of a current, by passing the current in a direction generally perpendicular to the film plane of the layers of the laminated body and the magnetization of the third ferromagnetic layer is able to undergo precession by passing the current.
