Abstract: A memory device includes a magnetoresistive element including first and second magnetic layers and a non-magnetic layer provided between the first and second magnetic layers. The memory device also includes a write circuit which controls a first writing setting magnetization of the first and second magnetic layers in a parallel state and a second writing setting the magnetization of the first and second magnetic layers in an antiparallel state, and applies a write current to the magnetoresistive element. A first write current in the first writing includes a first pulse and a second pulse added to the first pulse. A width of the second pulse is smaller than a width of the first pulse, and a scurrent level of the second pulse is different from a current level of the first pulse.

Abstract: A nonvolatile storage device includes first interconnections extending in a first direction and second interconnections extending in a second direction intersecting the first direction. Memory cells are formed at intersections between first and second interconnections. Each memory cell includes a resistance change element and a selector. In the arrangement of memory cells, all memory cells that are connected to any particular first interconnection are aligned along that first interconnection, and all memory cells connected to any particular second interconnection are alternately staggered in the first direction across a width of that second interconnection.

Abstract: A nonvolatile storage device includes first and second interconnections and a memory cell between the first and second interconnections. The memory cell includes a storage element, a first switch, and a second switch. The first switch has two terminals and transitions from an off-state to an on-state when a first threshold voltage is applied between its terminals and then voltage between the terminals falls to a first hold voltage. The second switch has two terminals and transitions from an off-state to an on-state when a second threshold voltage is applied between its terminals and then voltage between the terminals falls to a second hold voltage. An off-current of the first switch is less than an off-current of the second switch. The first threshold voltage is greater than the second threshold voltage, which is greater than the first hold voltage, which is greater than or equal to the second hold voltage.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a semiconductor memory device includes the following configuration. A resistance change element has first, second and third magnetic layers and a non-magnetic layer disposed between the first and second magnetic layers, and a metal layer disposed between the second and third magnetic layers. An SAF structure is comprised of the second magnetic layer, the metal layer and the third magnetic layer. A write circuit applies a first voltage and a second voltage having reversed polarity of the first voltage to the resistance change element in a write operation in which the resistance change element is changed from a low-resistance state to a high-resistance state.
