MAGNETIC MEMORY |
摘要 |
A magnetic memory according to an embodiment includes at least one MTJ element, the MTJ element including: a magnetic multilayer structure including a first magnetic layer in which a direction of magnetization is fixed, a second magnetic layer in which a direction of magnetization is changeable, and a tunnel barrier layer located between the first and second magnetic layers; a first electrode provided on a first surface of the magnetic multilayer structure; a second electrode provided on a second surface of the magnetic multilayer structure; an insulating film provided on a side surface of the magnetic multilayer structure; and a control electrode provided on the side surface of the magnetic multilayer structure with the insulating film located therebetween, a voltage being applied to the control electrode in a read operation, which increases an energy barrier for changing the magnetization of the second magnetic layer. |

1. A magnetic memory comprising at least one MTJ element, the MTJ element comprising:
a magnetic multilayer structure including a first magnetic layer in which a direction of magnetization is fixed, a second magnetic layer in which a direction of magnetization is changeable, and a tunnel barrier layer located between the first magnetic layer and the second magnetic layer; a first electrode provided on a first surface of the magnetic multilayer structure on a side opposite to a side of the tunnel barrier layer relative to the first magnetic layer; a second electrode provided on a second surface of the magnetic multilayer structure on a side opposite to a side of the tunnel barrier layer relative to the second magnetic layer; an insulating film provided on a side surface of the magnetic multilayer structure, which side surface is different from the first surface and the second surface of the magnetic multilayer structure; and a control electrode provided on the side surface of the magnetic multilayer structure with the insulating film located therebetween, a voltage being applied to the control electrode in a read operation, which increases an energy barrier for changing the magnetization of the second magnetic layer. |
