Magnetic memory for writing with spin-polarized current using amorphous ferrimagnetic alloy and writing method thereof

摘要

The invention concerns a magnetic memory, whereof each memory point consists of a magnetic tunnel junction ( 60 ), comprising: a magnetic layer, called trapped layer ( 61 ), whereof the magnetization is rigid; a magnetic layer, called free layer ( 63 ), whereof the magnetization may be inverse; and insulating layer ( 62 ), interposed between the free layer ( 73 ) and the trapped layer ( 71 ) and respectively in contact with said two layers. The free layer ( 63 ) is made with an amorphous or nanocrytallized alloy based on rare earth or a transition metal, the magnetic order of said alloy being of the ferromagnetic type, said free layer having a substantially planar magnetization.
