摘要: The present technology relates to a storage device that realizes both a high information retention property and a low power consumption. A storage device includes a fixed layer, a storage layer, an intermediate layer, and a heat generation layer. The fixed layer includes a first ferromagnetic layer that includes a fixed perpendicular magnetization. The storage layer includes a second ferromagnetic layer that includes a perpendicular magnetization invertible by a spin injection. The intermediate layer is formed of an insulator and is arranged between the storage layer and the fixed layer. The heat generation layer is formed of a resistance heating element and is arranged in at least one of the storage layer and the fixed layer. With this configuration, it becomes possible to provide a storage device that realizes both a high information retention property and a low power consumption.

摘要: There is disclosed an information storage element including a first layer including a ferromagnetic layer with a magnetization direction perpendicular to a film face; an insulation layer coupled to the first layer; and a second layer coupled to the insulation layer opposite the first layer, the second layer including a fixed magnetization so as to be capable of serving as a reference of the first layer. The first layer is capable of storing information according to a magnetization state of a magnetic material, and the magnetization state is configured to be changed by a spin injection. A magnitude of an effective diamagnetic field which the first layer receives is smaller than a saturated magnetization amount of the first layer.

摘要: A storage element includes a layer structure including a storage layer having a direction of magnetization which changes according to information, a magnetization fixed layer having a fixed direction of magnetization, and an intermediate layer disposed therebetween, which intermediate layer contains a nonmagnetic material. The magnetization fixed layer has at least two ferromagnetic layers having a direction of magnetization tilted from a direction perpendicular to a film surface, which are laminated and magnetically coupled interposing a coupling layer therebetween. This configuration may effectively prevent divergence of magnetization reversal time due to directions of magnetization of the storage layer and the magnetization fixed layer being substantially parallel or antiparallel, reduce write errors, and enable writing operation in a short time.

摘要: A memory device includes a plurality of bit lines extending in a first direction, a plurality of word lines extending in a second direction crossing the first direction, and a plurality of memory cells. Each memory cell includes a memory element and two select transistors disposed along the first direction and the memory element being configured to store information based on changes in resistance. A first and a second column are formed by repeatedly arranging a first group and a second group of the memory cells, respectively, along the first direction, and the second column is disposed adjacent to the first column and the first group is displaced in the first direction such that, in the second direction, a first select transistor in respective memory cells in the first column is aligned with a second select transistor in respective memory cells in the second column.
