It is a kind of control free layer domain structure realized in magnetic tunnel junction ten state data storage Method
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of methods that the storage of ten state data is realized in control free layer domain structure in magnetic tunnel junction, belong to In the field of data storage of information technology.
Background technique
To meet consumer electronics product and big data storage to good characteristics such as non-volatile, high density, low-power consumption Data store demand growing day by day, and researchers will wish to place polymorphic non-volatile memory device on.In multiple-state storage device In, a storage unit can recorde up to ten even more numerical value, rather than present " 0 " and " 1 " two values.Cause This, Multi-state data storage can not only greatly improve the density of data storage, and neural network, artificial intelligence can be promoted etc. It is fast-developing.
Currently, experimentally realizing that the approach of polymorphic non-volatile memory mainly has: first, utilize the phase transformation of material itself, system Standby multi-state phase-change memory part, referring to Wang, H.S.P.et al.Proceeding of the IEEE 98,2201 (2010); Second, it is answered using controllable electroluminescent resistive effect, prepares multi-state resistive memory device, referring to Balatti, S.et al.Adv.Mater.25,1474(2013);Third prepares more iron memory devices using magneto-electric coupled in more iron hetero-junctions, Referring to Boni, A.G.et al.Phys.Rev.Appl.8,034035 (2017).Although previous research obtained it is certain into Exhibition, still, it is still a problem that research, which discovers how that stable realization is more than 4 states,.For example, phase change memory must then utilize material Phase transformation, and can have the material of stable phase transformation is a small number of after all, while can only generally also provide 2 stable state (phase transformations Front and back);Resistive is also equally that turn-on and turn-off are most stable of 2 states, and it is then relatively difficult to obtain stable intermediate state.? The arrangement of the Parallel and antiparallel of free layer and pinning layer magnetic moment can only lead to high and low two Resistance states in magnetic tunnel junction.If It uses ferroelectric material as insulating layer in magnetic tunnel junction, can only generally also obtain 4 Resistance states in conjunction with electric field regulation, and fit The ferroelectric insulator that tunnel layer is done in conjunction is seldom, this chooses but also obtaining stable more resistance states in magnetic tunnel junction as one War.

Specific embodiment
The present invention will be further described with embodiment with reference to the accompanying drawings of the specification, but not limited to this.
Embodiment
A method of control free layer domain structure realizes that ten state data store in magnetic tunnel junction, comprising:
(1) it is clean, have 300nm thickness SiO2Singulus is used on (001) Si substrate of oxide layer ROTARIS physical vapor deposition (PVD) equipment prepares Ta 3/CuN 10/Ta 5/Ru 5/ at room temperature 5 magnetic tunnel of IrMn 8/CoFe 2.5/Ru 0.85/CoFeB 3.0/MgO 0.5-3/CoFeB 2.5/Ta 8/Cu 10/Ru Knot.Number represents every thickness degree, and unit is nanometer.The background vacuum of apparatus for preparation is better than 10-8Millibar.The sample prepared, 360 degrees Celsius of 2 hours of annealing.Apply the induced magnetic field of 8000 oersteds in annealing process along sample surfaces, it is therefore an objective to make The antiferromagnetic order that IrMn has had, so as to play pinning effect.By photoetching, reactive ion etching and lift-off technology, diameter is prepared For 6 microns of cylindrical magnetic tunnel knot.
(2) superconductive quantum interference magnetometer is used, the magnetism of the about tunnel junction film of 5mm × 5mm is measured size.Such as Fig. 1 Shown, direction of each layer magnetic moment in different magnetic field is marked by signal arrow.The field it is found that -800 oersteds of application is analyzed, it can To guarantee that free layer CoFeB magnetic moment is all arranged along negative direction, the magnetic moment without will affect pinning layer is arranged, and therefore " is originally written into " It is selected as -800 oersteds in magnetic field.
(3) positive direction magnetic field is applied to magnetic tunnel junction, by No overshot mode, with 0~200 oersted/second It advances the speed, positive direction magnetic field is gradually increased to write-in magnetic field, this is in the process it is noted that keep pinning layer magnetic moment direction not Become (dashed region in Fig. 1).The first more domain state is obtained, the first farmland state should refer to initial shape if strictly corresponding to State, all magnetic moments are arranged along initial magnetic field direction, 0 shown in corresponding diagram.As long as actually write-in magnetic field is less than < 60 oersteds all It is in state shown in 0;
(4) changing write-in magnetic field is 65 oersteds, executes step (2)-step (3), obtains second of magnetic state;
Changing write-in magnetic field is 65.5 oersteds, executes step (2)-step (3), obtains the third magnetic state;
Changing write-in magnetic field is 66.1 oersteds, executes step (2)-step (3), obtains the 4th kind of magnetic state;
Changing write-in magnetic field is 66.2 oersteds, executes step (2)-step (3), obtains the 5th kind of magnetic state;
Changing write-in magnetic field is 66.3 oersteds, executes step (2)-step (3), obtains the 6th kind of magnetic state;
Changing write-in magnetic field is 66.4 oersteds, executes step (2)-step (3), obtains the 7th kind of magnetic state;
Changing write-in magnetic field is 66.5 oersteds, executes step (2)-step (3), obtains the 8th kind of magnetic state;

Changing write-in magnetic field is 66.8 oersteds, executes step (2)-step (3), obtains the tenth kind of magnetic state;
The minor loop during " magnetic is write " is measured, Fig. 2 result is obtained.It can be seen that hysteresis loop is integrally biased to magnetic field Positive direction, this is caused by the stray magnetic field (Stray field) of magnetic material in device.Therefore, the intensity of magnetization at stray magnetic field Represent the true remanent magnetization of free layer.So use remanent magnetization at 58Oe as the carrier of the storage of information, The magnetic field of 58Oe can be provided in practical application with additional hard magnetic layer.It can be seen that under the action of different write-in magnetic fields, Significant change has occurred in the magnetic domain of free layer CoFeB, has obtained ten different residual magnetism states.Select remanent magnetization conduct The record carrier of information, the 0-9 in the available decimal system realize and directly store 0,1,2,3,4 in a physical memory cell, 5,6,7,8,90 numerical value.
The resistance of magnetic tunnel junction is directly related with the arrangement mode of free layer and pinning layer magnetic moment, changes the same of free layer When maintain pinning layer it is constant, then magnetic tunnel junction is necessarily caused to be in different Resistance states, magneto-resistor size is also had significantly Difference, therefore directly " reading " free layer different magnetic state of magneto-resistance effect size can be used.With 4 line measurement magnetic channels The magneto-resistor of knot, Keithley 2400 are used as current source, and 2182 nanovoltmeter of Keithley surveys voltage.As shown in figure 3, we Select dashed region to demonstrate the storing process of " magnetic is write "-" electricity is read ", because in this area, pinning layer magnetic moment is constant, only certainly It is inverted by layer magnetic moment with outfield.
(5) magneto-resistor that magnetic tunnel junction is measured by Electrical transport, different freedom is read using magneto-resistance effect The domain state more than ten kinds of layer.Include: as shown in figure 4, with " write-in " magnetic field enhancing, more and more free layer magnetic moments edge The arrangement of magnetic field positive direction.In view of pinning layer magnetic moment is arranged along negative fluxfield direction always, the enhancing in " write-in " magnetic field is so that freedom Layer increasingly tends to arranged anti-parallel with pinning layer magnetic moment.With the increase in additional positive direction magnetic field, resistance B specific gravity increases, leads Bigger magneto-resistance effect is caused, the free layer magnetic domain distribution and the magneto-resistor of the magnetic tunnel junction form one-to-one pass System obtains multiple magnetoelectricity resistance states, magnetoelectricity resistance state, that is, more domain states, each magnetoelectricity resistance state records a numerical value, realizes polymorphic Storage;The resistance of the magnetic tunnel junction includes resistance A and resistance B in parallel, and resistance A is the free layer and the pinning layer The low resistance of magnetic moments parallel arrangement;Resistance B is the high resistance of the free layer and the pinning layer magnetic moment arranged anti-parallel.With void The carrier that tunneling magnetic resistance under remnant magnetism state shown in line is recorded as information then may be implemented straight in a physical memory cell Connect storage ten numerical value of 0-9.
Stray magnetic field measured by magnetic (Fig. 2) and magneto-resistor (Fig. 4) is respectively 65 oersteds and 58 oersteds, this is mainly Caused by dendrite: 5 millimeters × 5 millimeters of magnetic sample size, 6 microns of tunnel knot size diameter.
The above is application example of the invention, it is noted that without departing from the principle of the present invention, can be with Several improvement are made, obtain more magnetic and Resistance states, these modifications and embellishments are also considered to be within the scope of the present invention.
