    摘要: A barrier layer is disposed over a pinned layer made of ferromagnetic material having a fixed magnetization direction, the barrier layer having a thickness allowing electrons to transmit therethrough by a tunneling phenomenon. A first free layer is disposed over the barrier layer, the first free layer being made of amorphous or fine crystalline soft magnetic material which changes a magnetization direction under an external magnetic field. A second free layer is disposed over the first free layer, the second free layer being made of crystalline soft magnetic material which changes a magnetization direction under an external magnetic field and being exchange-coupled to the first free layer. A tunneling magnetoresistance device is provided which has good magnetic characteristics and can suppress a tunnel resistance change rate from being lowered.

    摘要: A ferromagnetic tunnel junction element is a magnetoresistance effect element wherein an electric resistance varies in accordance with a magnetic field applied. The ferromagnetic tunnel junction element includes a pinned layer wherein at least a part of a magnetization direction is held, and an insulation layer formed on the pinned layer, creating an energy barrier that electrons can flow through by a tunnel effect. A first free layer made of a first ferromagnetic material containing boron atoms, is formed on the insulation layer. In the first free layer, a direction of the magnetization switches under an influence of an external magnetic field. A second free layer made of a first ferromagnetic material containing boron atoms, is formed on the first free layer. The direction of magnetization of the second free layer switches under the influence of the external magnetic field, exchanging and coupling with the first free layer.

A pinning layer (3) made of antiferromagnetic material containing Ir and Mn is disposed on the underlying layer. A reference layer (4c) made of ferromagnetic material whose magnetization direction is fixed through exchange-coupling with the pinning layer directly or via another ferromagnetic material layer, is disposed over the pinning layer. A nonmagnetic layer (7) made of nonmagnetic material is disposed over the reference layer. A free layer (8) made of ferromagnetic material whose magnetization direction changes in dependence upon an external magnetic field, is disposed over the nonmagnetic layer.
