Abstract

The present invention relates to a storage element and a storage device. The storage element includes a storage layer that stores information on the basis of a magnetization state of a magnetic material; a fixed magnetization layer that has a magnetization serving as a reference of the information stored in the storage layer; an interlayer that is formed of a nonmagnetic material and interposed between the storage layer and the fixed magnetization layer; a cap layer that is provided to be adjacent to the storage layer and opposite to the interlayer; and a metal cap layer that is provided to be adjacent to the cap layer and opposite to the storage layer.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a memory element and a memory device including the same. The memory element includes a memory layer storing the magnetization state of the ferromagnetic layer as information and a magnetization fixed layer whose magnetization direction is fixed, and the magnetization direction of the memory layer is changed by the flow of current. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of various information devices (from mobile terminals to large-capacity servers), memory and logic elements constituting the information devices require higher performance, such as high integration, high speed, and low power consumption. In particular, the development of semiconductor nonvolatile memory is remarkable, and flash memory is becoming more widely used as mass storage, as if hard disk drives are almost eliminated from the market. Meanwhile, in anticipation of progress in code storage memory or working memory, FeRAM (Ferroelec...
