Continue with reference to Fig. 2, free magnetosphere 212 and reference both magnetospheres 216 all can have vertically the magnetic moment of (perpendicular to layer plane, namely along Z-direction).In other words, free magnetosphere 212 and the easy magnetizing axis with reference to both magnetospheres 216 can be oriented in vertical direction (Z-direction).The thickness of free magnetosphere 212 can in the scope of 0.5nm to 16nm, preferably in the scope of 0.8nm to 8nm.Thickness with reference to magnetosphere 216 can in the scope of 0.5nm to 20nm, the scope of preferred 0.8nm to 10nm.
Although it should be understood that with the free magnetosphere of perpendicular magnetization with reference to magnetosphere be context-descriptive various embodiment of the present invention and example in specification, principle of the present invention can also be applied to free magnetosphere and have magnetized situation in face with reference to magnetosphere.Compared with magnetizing with in face, perpendicular magnetization allows MTJ to be formed as having less size, and then can improve the integrated level of device, because of but preferably.
Although describe the structure of MTJ 210 here with reference to Fig. 2, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that and can also carry out many changes to the structure of MTJ 210.Such as, although Fig. 2 shows MTJ 210 have rectangular patterns, MTJ 210 also can be patterned into other shapes, such as circular, oval, square, annular, other polygonal shape, etc.In addition, MTJ 210 also can be formed with more or less layer.The present invention is intended to amendment or the change of containing all these MTJ, as long as it drops in the scope of claims and equivalent thereof.
Electric current wiring 230 extends and is electrically connected to MTJ 210 above MTJ 210.In the embodiment shown in Figure 2, electric current wiring 230 can directly contact MTJ 210.In further embodiments, electric current wiring 230 can be formed in above MTJ 210, and is connected to MTJ 210 by such as conductive plunger.Bearing of trend and the input current I be applied on SHE layer 220 of electric current wiring 230 1and I 2direction intersect, preferred vertical.Such as, in the embodiment shown in Figure 2, input current I 1and I 2in the Y-axis direction, the bearing of trend of electric current wiring 230 is X-direction.In further embodiments, electric current wiring 230 bearing of trend can with electric current I 1and I 2direction become angle within the scope of 45-135 degree.From being appreciated that it is vertically preferred to the description of operating principle below, but when intersecting, also important formation in vertical direction, is therefore also feasible.
The operating principle of spin logical device 200 is described referring to Fig. 2.As previously mentioned, as electric current such as I 1and/or I 2when flowing through SHE layer 220, due to logic gates, can produce the spin current flowing into free magnetosphere 212 from SHE layer 220, this spin current applies magnetic torque to free magnetosphere 212, thus affects the magnetic moment direction of free magnetosphere 212.Meanwhile, electric current I is applied to electric current wiring 230 3, it produces oersted field Hx at free magnetosphere 212 place, and this oersted field Hx applies magnetic torque to free magnetosphere 212 equally.Under the acting in conjunction of the magnetic torque that the spin current caused at logic gates applies and the magnetic torque that oersted field Hx applies, the magnetic moment of free magnetosphere 212 can be made to overturn.By regulating input current I 1and I 2or electric current I 3direction, the Magnetic moment reversal of free magnetosphere 212 can be made on the direction wanted, such as+Z-direction or-Z-direction.In this embodiment, the oersted field coordination that the spin current produced owing to utilizing logic gates and electric current wiring produce overturns the magnetic moment of free magnetosphere 212, so the electric current total amount needed for magnetic moment of the free magnetosphere 212 of upset can be reduced, and enormously simplify the structure of spin logical device.On the other hand, when utilizing spin current and oersted field coordination to overturn the magnetic moment of free magnetosphere 212, the contribution of often kind of factor can be regulated, thus bring operational more flexibilities.
Fig. 3 A, 3B, 3C, 3D and 3E illustrate the signature tune line chart of the various logic operation of the spin logical device 200 of Fig. 2.Below with reference to Fig. 3 A-3E and composition graphs 2 describe in detail spin logical device 200 various logic operation.
Fig. 3 A illustrates that spin logical device 200 is configured to logical AND " AND " door to carry out signature tune line chart when logical AND " AND " operates, and table 1 below illustrates the truth table of logical AND " AND " door.In order to realize logical AND operation, MTJ 210 can be configured to and is initially in parastate.During logical AND operation, electric current wiring 230 can be applied with electric current I 3such as, to produce less magnetic field at free magnetosphere 212 place, the 500Oe shown in Fig. 3 A.Should be understood that during logical AND operation, electric current I 3can be applied in electric current wiring 230 always, can also only at applying first input current I 1with the second input current I 2in time, just applies, to save energy consumption.

In the operation of from left to right first shown in Fig. 3 A, the first input current I that SHE layer 210 applies 1with the second input current I 2be forward big current, it corresponds to logic state " 1 ".Under the effect of these two big current, simultaneously under the cooperation in the magnetic field of 500Oe, the magnetic moment of free magnetosphere 212 overturns, and makes MTJ 210 become antiparallel state.Then, can connect up between 230 and SHE layer 210 at electric current and apply to flow vertically through the reading electric current I of MTJ 210 4, the resistance obtaining MTJ 210 is high-impedance state, and it may correspond in such as logical one.
Before or after carrying out logical operation, reset operation can be carried out so that MTJ 210 is reset to initial condition at every turn.In the example shown in Fig. 3 A, reset operation is by applying reverse big current I 1and I 2, and coordinating the oersted field of 500Oe to realize, MTJ 210 is returned to initial parallel state by it.
In the operation of from left to right second shown in Fig. 3 A, the first input current I that SHE layer 210 applies 1be still forward big current, it corresponds to logic state " 1 ", and the second input current I 2for forward small area analysis, it corresponds to logic state " 0 ".Because an input current is small area analysis, even if under the cooperation in the magnetic field of 500Oe, the magnetic moment of free magnetosphere 212 can not be made to overturn, and therefore MTJ 210 still remains initial parastate.Therefore, when applying the reading electric current I flowing vertically through MTJ 210 between electric current wiring 230 and SHE layer 210 4time, the resistance obtaining MTJ 210 is low resistance state, and it may correspond in such as logical zero.
Similarly, in the 3rd operation, the first input current I 1for forward small area analysis and the second input current I 2for forward big current, and in the 4th operation, the first input current I 1with the second input current I 2be forward small area analysis, the magnetic moment of free magnetosphere 212 now all can not be made to overturn, and thus MTJ 210 is in low resistance state, corresponding to logical zero.
As mentioned above, the logical device 200 that spins completes logical AND " AND " operation shown in table 1.During logical AND " AND " operation, due to electric current I 3the oersted field provided is less, so as the first input current I 1with the second input current I 2in any one when being small area analysis (corresponding to logical zero), all can not by MTJ 210 from initial parallel state turnover to antiparallel state.In other words, as the first input current I 1with the second input current I 2when being big current (corresponding to logical one), could by MTJ 210 from initial parallel state turnover to antiparallel state.
Fig. 3 B illustrates the signature tune line chart that logic OR " OR " operates, and table 2 illustrates the truth table of logic OR " OR ".In order to realize logic OR operation, MTJ 210 can be configured to and is initially in parastate.During logic OR operation, electric current wiring 230 can be applied with electric current I 3such as, to produce larger magnetic field at free magnetosphere 212 place, the 3500Oe shown in Fig. 3 B.Should be understood that during logic OR operation, electric current I 3can be applied in electric current wiring 230 always, can also only at applying first input current I 1with the second input current I 2in time, just applies, to save energy consumption.

In the operation of from left to right first shown in Fig. 3 B, the first input current I that SHE layer 210 applies 1with the second input current I 2be forward big current, it corresponds to logic state " 1 ".Under the effect of these two big current, simultaneously under the cooperation in the magnetic field of 3500Oe, the magnetic moment of free magnetosphere 212 overturns, and makes MTJ 210 become antiparallel state.Then, can connect up between 230 and SHE layer 210 at electric current and apply to flow vertically through the reading electric current I of MTJ 210 4, the resistance obtaining MTJ 210 is high-impedance state, and it may correspond in such as logical one.
Equally, before or after carrying out logical operation, reset operation can be carried out so that MTJ 210 is reset to initial condition at every turn.In the example shown in Fig. 3 B, reset operation is by applying reverse big current I 1and I 2, and coordinating the oersted field of 3500Oe to realize, MTJ 210 is returned to initial parallel state by it.
In the operation of from left to right second shown in Fig. 3 B, the first input current I that SHE layer 210 applies 1be still forward big current, it corresponds to logic state " 1 ", and the second input current I 2for forward small area analysis, it corresponds to logic state " 0 ".Although an input current is small area analysis, the Oersted magnetic field produced due to electric current I 3 is enough large, and be 3500Oe in this example, so be still enough to make the magnetic moment of free magnetosphere 212 overturn, thus MTJ 210 becomes antiparallel state.Therefore, when applying the reading electric current I flowing vertically through MTJ 210 between electric current wiring 230 and SHE layer 210 4time, the resistance obtaining MTJ 210 is high-impedance state, corresponding to logical one.
Similarly, in the 3rd operation, the first input current I 1for forward small area analysis and the second input current I 2for forward big current, under the cooperation in the large magnetic field of 3500Oe, be enough to the magnetic moment of free magnetosphere 212 is overturn, thus MTJ 210 becomes antiparallel state.Therefore, when applying the reading electric current I flowing vertically through MTJ 210 between electric current wiring 230 and SHE layer 210 4time, the resistance obtaining MTJ 210 is high-impedance state, corresponding to logical one.
In the 4th operation, the first input current I 1with the second input current I 2be forward small area analysis.In this case, even if electric current I 3the Oersted magnetic field produced is comparatively large, and be 3500Oe in this example, the magnetic moment of free magnetosphere 212 can not be made to overturn, and thus MTJ 210 remains initial parastate.When applying the reading electric current I flowing vertically through MTJ 210 between electric current wiring 230 and SHE layer 210 4time, the resistance obtaining MTJ 210 is low resistance state, and it may correspond in such as logical zero.
As mentioned above, the logical device 200 that spins completes logic OR " OR " operation shown in table 2.During logic OR " OR " operation, due to electric current I 3the oersted field provided is comparatively large, so as the first input current I 1with the second input current I 2in any one when being big current (corresponding to logical one), be just enough to MTJ 210 from initial parallel state turnover to antiparallel state.Only have as the first input current I 1with the second input current I 2when both are small area analysis (corresponding to logical zero), just can not by MTJ 210 from initial parallel state turnover to antiparallel state.
Fig. 3 C illustrates the signature tune line chart that logic NOT " NOT " operates, and table 3 illustrates the truth table of logic NOT " NOT ".In order to realize logic NOT operation, MTJ 210 can be configured to and is initially in antiparallel state.During logic NOT operation, electric current wiring 230 can be applied with reverse current I 3to produce the magnetic field of approximately-500Oe at free magnetosphere 212 place, the second input current I 2the larger current corresponding to logical one can be set to.Therefore, as shown in Figure 3 B, when first from left to right operates, the first input current I 1for corresponding to the larger current of logical one, cause the magnetic moment of free magnetosphere 212 to overturn, MTJ 210 becomes parastate, thus can obtain low resistance state in read step subsequently, corresponding to logical zero.In the operation of second from left to right, the first input current I 1for corresponding to the small electric stream of logical zero, thus MTJ 210 can not be made to be turned to parastate, in read step subsequently, obtaining high-resistance state, corresponding to logical one.Thus, the logical device 200 that spins completes logic NOT " NOT " operation shown in table 3.
