Abstract: Provided is a magnetic random access memory to which spin torque magnetization reversal is applied, the magnetic random access memory being thermal stable in a reading operation and also being capable of reducing a current in a wiring operation. A magnetoresistive effect element formed by sequentially stacking a fixed layer, a nonmagnetic barrier layer, and a recording layer is used as a memory element. The recording layer adopts a laminated ferrimagnetic structure.

Abstract: A memory for which writing is conducted by using a unidirectional write current. Currents which differ in current pulse width are applied to a magnetoresistance element in a film thickness direction of the magnetoresistance element consisting of a first ferromagnetic layer having a fixed magnetization direction, a second ferromagnetic layer having a variable magnetization direction, a third ferromagnetic layer having a variable magnetization direction, a first non-magnetic layer located between the first ferromagnetic layer and the second ferromagnetic layer, and a second non-magnetic layer located between the second ferromagnetic layer and the third ferromagnetic layer, to reverse a magnetization direction of either the second ferromagnetic layer or the third ferromagnetic layer by using a spin-transfer torque.

Abstract: An object of the present invention corrects fluctuation of a writing current between cells in a magnetic random access memory using spin torque magnetization reversal. The present invention includes a magneto-resistive effect element that is disposed between a bit line and a word line, a first variable resistance element that is connected to one end of the bit line, a second variable resistance element that is connected to the other end of the bit line, a first voltage applying unit that applies voltage to the first variable resistance element, and a second voltage applying unit that applies voltage to the second variable resistance element, when a writing operation is performed, an offset magnetic field is applied to a free layer of the magneto-resistive effect element by flowing a variable current between the first voltage applying unit and the second voltage applying unit based on a predetermined resistance value.

Abstract: Provided is a spin memory that has excellent durability. The spin memory includes a ferromagnetic word line, a nonmagnetic bit line that crosses the ferromagnetic word line, a wiring disposed so as to be opposed to the ferromagnetic word line, and a magnetoresistive element formed between the wiring and the portion where the ferromagnetic word line and the nonmagnetic bit line cross each other. At the time of writing, current is made to flow between the ferromagnetic word line and the nonmagnetic bit line. The direction of magnetization for a free layer of the magnetoresistive element is switched by accumulating spins in the nonmagnetic bit line while the spins are injected from the ferromagnetic word line. At the time of reading, current is made to flow between the nonmagnetic bit line and the wiring, and to flow in the film-thickness direction of the magnetoresistive element.
