Abstract:
Magnetoresistive elements, and memory devices including the same, include a free layer having a changeable magnetization direction, a pinned layer facing the free layer and having a fixed magnetization direction, and an auxiliary element on a surface of the pinned layer. The auxiliary element has a width smaller than a width of the pinned layer, and a magnetization direction fixed to a direction the same as a direction of the fixed magnetization direction of the pinned layer.
