摘要:
A semiconductor memory device includes a first ferromagnetic layer magnetically pinned and positioned within a first region of a substrate; a second ferromagnetic layer approximate the first ferromagnetic layer; and a barrier layer interposed between the first ferromagnetic layer and the first portion of the second ferromagnetic layer. The second ferromagnetic layer includes a first portion being magnetically free and positioned within the first region; a second portion magnetically pinned to a first direction and positioned within a second region of the substrate, the second region contacting the first region from a first side; and a third portion magnetically pinned to a second direction and positioned within a third region of the substrate, the third region contacting the first region from a second side.
摘要:
A fabrication method of a magnetoresistance multi-layer is provided. The method includes forming a multi-layer with at least an antiferromagnetic layer and performing an ion irradiation process to the multi-layer to transform a disordered structure of the antiferromagnetic layer to an ordered structure. Accordingly, the process time can be reduced and the interdiffusion in the multi-layer can be prevented.

A tunneling magneto-resistor reference unit for sensing a magnetic field includes a first MTJ (magnetic tunneling junction) device and a second MTJ device connected in parallel. The first MTJ device has a first pinned layer having a first pinned magnetization at a pinned direction, and a first free layer having a first free magnetization parallel to the pinned direction in a zero magnetic field. The second MTJ device has a second pinned layer having a second pinned magnetization at the pinned direction, and a second free layer having a second free magnetization anti-parallel to the pinned direction in a zero magnetic field. Major axes of the first and second MTJ devices have an angle of 45 degrees to a direction of an external magnetic field when sensed.
