Specific embodiment
Illustrate embodiments of the present invention below by way of specific specific example, those skilled in the art can be by this specification
Other advantages and efficacy of the present invention can be easily understood for disclosed content.The present invention can also pass through in addition different specific realities
The mode of applying is embodied or practiced, the various details in this specification can also based on different viewpoints and application, without departing from
Various modifications or alterations are carried out under spirit of the invention.
Please refer to Fig. 1~Figure 13.It should be noted that diagram provided in the present embodiment only illustrates this in a schematic way
The basic conception of invention, only shown in schema then with related component in the present invention rather than package count when according to actual implementation
Mesh, shape and size are drawn, when actual implementation kenel, quantity and the ratio of each component can arbitrarily change for one kind, and its
Assembly layout kenel may also be increasingly complex.
The basic stored bits unit 1 of common MRAM include magnetic tunnel-junction (Magnetic Tunnel Junction,
MTJ) and Spin Valve (Spin Valve) device, core group become one layer of ultra-thin nonmagnetic insulating layer of insertion in two ferromagnetic layers
Or nonmagnetic metal layer material.As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 2, bottom ferromagnetic layer magnetic moment direction is variable, referred to as free layer 11;Top layer is ferromagnetic
Layer magnetic moment direction is fixed, referred to as reference layer 13;Middle layer be nonmagnetic insulating layer or nonmagnetic metal layer 12 (free layer 11 with
The upper and lower position of the reference layer 13 is interchangeable).When the free layer 11 is consistent with the magnetic moment direction of the reference layer 13, magnetic
Low resistance state is presented in the resistance of tunnel knot or Spin Valve device, can indicate logic state " 0 ";When the free layer 11 and reference layer 13
Magnetic moment direction it is opposite when, high-impedance state is presented in the resistance of magnetic tunnel-junction or Spin Valve device, can indicate logic state " 1 ".As it can be seen that
MRAM storing process mainly regulates and controls resistance state locating for magnetic tunnel-junction or Spin Valve device by changing ferromagnetic layer magnetic moment direction
Represent different logic states.As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 2, mram memory cell can have different magnetic anisotropy, be divided into face
Magnetic anisotropy and perpendicular magnetic anisotropic.
MRAM writing process mainly passes through current induced free layer Magnetic moment reversal, and concrete principle involved in the process can divide
It is following three kinds: (1) cuts down your law than Ao-Sa;(2) spin-torque (Spin transfer torque, STT);(3) spin rail
Road square (Spin orbit torque, SOT).As shown in figure 3, electric current is run through and is passed through when spin-torque mode carries out write operation
Magnetic memory device applies electric current to port 1 and port 2, STT effect will act on free layer magnetic moment, when electric current reaches certain
When one critical current, it will lead to free layer magnetic moment and be flipped, and then realize the write-in of data;Only when free layer magnetic moment direction
When not conllinear with reference layer magnetic moment direction, free layer magnetic moment just will receive STT, and the moment loading will become as angle increases
By force.When carrying out read operation, it equally need to apply a Weak current to port 1 and port 2, obtain the resistance value of magnetic memory device.
As shown in figure 4, when spin(-)orbit square mode carries out write operation, to applying in 14 face of spin current generating layer in magnetic memory device
Electric current applies electric current to port 2 and port 3, due to the effect of Quantum geometrical phase, spin current will result from the spin current
Generating layer 14, direction along film surface normal;When impressed current is continuously increased, more spins for carrying energy and angular momentum
The spin current generating layer 14 is born in miscarriage, and is flowed into the free layer 11, makes free layer magnetic moment in SOT and auxiliary magnetic field
It is flipped under effect, realizes the write operation of " 0 " and " 1 ".It, need to be small to port 1 and the application of port 3 one when carrying out read operation
Electric current measures the resistance of magnetic memory device.
It can be seen from the above, the read-write current path of SOT is separated from each other, non-interference compared to STT.Also, utilize SOT
When write-in, it is not necessary that through entire magnetic memory device, barrier layer service life can be effectively increased and reduces device quilt electric current
The probability of breakdown.In addition, if the magnetic moment direction of reference layer 13 and free layer 11 is strictly along film normal direction, when giving device
After being passed through electric current, as long as theoretically there is spin current to be flowed into free layer, SOT can still exist, and STT will be completely disappeared.Also with regard to table
Show, when MRAM is in limit low operating temperatures, thermal excitation effect very little or can be ignored, and the perpendicular magnetic of free layer 11 respectively to
In the case that the opposite sex is enhanced compared to room temperature, the difficulty using STT overturning free layer magnetic moment will become increasing, and
The writing mode of SOT can exactly make up above-mentioned limitation, thus, SOT-MRAM is applied to superconducting integrated circuit by the present invention
In, form Novel ultralow-temperature magnetic memory, can further expansion MRAM operation temperature area to limit low temperature (4.2K), and guarantee
MRAM still achievable information storage at lower voltages, is expected to play an important role in the application of superconducting computer.
