Abstract

The present invention provides a memory element and a memory device. The memory element includes a layered structure and a layer of negative thermal expansion material. The layered structure includes a storage layer, a magnetization fixed layer, and an intermediate layer. The storage layer has magnetization perpendicular to the film plane in which the direction of magnetization changes according to information, and includes a magnetic layer having a positive magnetostriction constant. The direction of magnetization is changed by applying a current along the stacking direction of the layered structure to record information in the storage layer. The magnetization fixed layer has magnetization perpendicular to the film surface, and becomes the basis of information stored in the storage layer. The intermediate layer is formed of a non-magnetic material, and is provided between the storage layer and the magnetization fixed 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-magnetic moment magnetization switching. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of various information devices ranging from mobile terminals to large-capacity servers, further improvements in performance, such as higher integration, speed, etc. elevated and lower power consumption. Specifically, semiconductor nonvolatile memory has been significantly advanced, and flash memory has been widely used as a large-capacity file storage at a speed that can replace hard disks. In addition, the development of FeRAM (Ferroelectric Random Access Memory), MRAM (Magnetic Random Access Memory), PCRAM (Phase Change Random Access Memory), etc. has been advanced as a substitute for the current general NOR flash memory, DRAM, etc. Use it for code storage or working memory. Some of these devices have already been put ...
