Abstract

The invention discloses a memory element and a memeory apparatus. The memory element has a layered structure, including a memory layer that has magnetization perpendicular to a film face in which a magnetization direction is changed depending on information, and includes a Co-Fe-B magnetic layer, the magnetization direction being changed by applying a current in a lamination direction of the layered structure to record the information in the memory layer, a magnetization-fixed layer having magnetization perpendicular to a film face that becomes a base of the information stored in the memory layer, and an intermediate layer that is formed of a non-magnetic material and is provided between the memory layer and the magnetization-fixed layer, a first oxide layer and a second oxide layer.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a storage element and a storage device having a plurality of magnetic layers and recording using spin torque magnetization switching. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of various information devices ranging from mobile terminals to large-capacity servers, higher performance improvements, such as higher integration, increased speed, have been pursued in elements constituting the devices such as storage elements and logic elements large and lower power consumption. In particular, semiconductor nonvolatile memory has made remarkable progress, and flash memory, which is a large-capacity file storage, has spread at a rate at which hard disk drives are being replaced by flash memory. At the same time, the research and development of FeRAM (Ferroelectric Random Access Memory), MRAM (Magnetic Random Access Memory), PCRAM (Phase Change Random Access Memory), etc. code storage or use them as working memor...
