    摘要: A technology for eliminating the defects in a tunnel insulation film of magnetic tunnel junction and for suppressing generation of a defective bit in an MRAM using magnetic tunnel junction in a memory. The magnetic memory includes a substrate, an interlayer insulation film covering the upper surface side of the substrate, memory cells, and plugs penetrating the interlayer insulation film. The memory cell includes a first magnetic layer formed on the upper surface side of the interlayer insulation film, a tunnel insulation layer formed on the first magnetic layer, and a second magnetic layer formed on the tunnel insulation layer. The plug is connected electrically with the first magnetic layer. The tunnel current passing part of the tunnel insulation layer located between the first and second magnetic layers is arranged, at least partially, so as not to overlap the plug in the direction perpendicular to the surface of the substrate.

    摘要: A magnetic random access memory according to the present invention is provided with: a magnetic recording layer including a magnetization free region having a reversible magnetization, wherein a write current is flown through the magnetic recording layer in an in-plane direction; a magnetization fixed layer having a fixed magnetization; a non-magnetic layer provided between the magnetization free region and the magnetization fixed layer; and a heat sink structure provided to be opposed to the magnetic recording layer and having a function of receiving and radiating heat generated in the magnetic recording layer. The magnetic random access memory thus-structured radiates heat generated in the magnetic recording layer by using the heat sink structure, suppressing the temperature increase caused by the write current flown in the in-plane direction.
