磁層通常係由一鐵磁層與一反鐵磁(Anti-ferromagnetic ; AFΜ)層所組成,其中反鐵磁層係用以釘住鐵磁層之磁性。 通道電流從一鐵磁層通過絕緣接面層至另一鐵磁層係根據 自由鐵磁層的磁性。亦即’當自由鐵磁層之磁性與釘住鐵 磁層之磁性方向相同時,通道電流較大,而當自由鐵磁層 之磁性與釘住鐵磁層之磁性方向相反時,通道電流較小。 因此,磁阻式隨機存取記憶晶胞存在兩種邏輯狀態··高通 道接面電阻與低通道接面電阻。由於不需電力即可儲存二 元邏輯資料’因此磁阻式隨機存取記憶體為一種非揮發性 記憶體。The magnetic layer is generally composed of a ferromagnetic layer and an anti-ferromagnetic (AFM) layer. The antiferromagnetic layer is used to pin the magnetic properties of the ferromagnetic layer. The channel current from one ferromagnetic layer through the insulation interface layer to the other ferromagnetic layer is based on the magnetic properties of the free ferromagnetic layer. That is, when the magnetism of the free ferromagnetic layer is the same as the magnetic direction of the pinned ferromagnetic layer, the channel current is larger, and when the magnetism of the free ferromagnetic layer is opposite to the magnetic direction of the pinned ferromagnetic layer, the channel current is more small. Therefore, there are two logic states of a magnetoresistive random access memory cell: a high channel junction resistance and a low channel junction resistance. Since binary logic data can be stored without electricity, the magnetoresistive random access memory is a non-volatile memory.

V 1225716 五、發明說明(3) 之磁阻式隨機存取記憶晶胞。導線126與導線116分別位於 磁通道接面元件122之上方與下方,以提供磁場之結合。此 磁場之結合實現了較大且強度足夠的磁場,來克服由星型 曲線(Astroid Curve)所決定之磁性轉向門檻。而其他沿著 導線1 2 6與導線11 6之磁阻式隨機存取記憶晶胞則僅受到單 一磁場之磁力的影響,無法超越磁性轉向門檻。因此,在 導線1 26與導線11 6交會處之磁阻式隨機存取記憶晶胞就可 在不干擾其他磁阻式隨機存取記憶晶胞下,完成資料的寫 入。在此磁阻式隨機存取記憶晶胞中,於讀取磁阻式隨機 存取記憶晶胞内的資料時,需要與電晶體或二極體(Di〇de) 電性連接,以防止離散電流干擾資料之讀取。因此,需額 外设置與磁通道接面元件1 2 2以及電晶體(即由閘極1 〇 6、汲 極1 〇 2與源極1 0 4所構成)或二極體電性連接之旁通的導線 1 2 0,來阻絕離散電流。 由於導線1 2 6與導線11 6分別位於磁通道接面元件1 2 2之上下 兩側,導線11 6之製作先在介電層1 1 2中蝕刻出溝渠1 28,再 沉積金屬等導電材料(未繪示),然後利用化學機械研磨製 程移除部分之導電材料,而形成具有平坦表面之導線11 6。 然而,化學機械研磨製程難以精確控制整片晶圓之剩餘厚 度,而使得導線11 6之厚度分布不均。因此,寫入電流密度 與磁通量效率會隨導線11 6之厚度變化而有所變動。也就是 說,需要保留較寬裕之製程幅度,且無可避免地需要較大 之寫入電流。此外,旁通之導線1 2 0也會增加每一單位晶胞 之面積,而導致記憶晶胞之密度下降。V 1225716 V. Description of the Invention (3) The magnetoresistive random access memory cell. The wires 126 and 116 are located above and below the magnetic channel interface element 122 to provide a combination of magnetic fields. The combination of this magnetic field realizes a large and strong magnetic field to overcome the magnetic turning threshold determined by the Astroid Curve. The other magnetoresistive random access memory cells along the wires 1 2 6 and the wire 11 16 are only affected by the magnetic force of a single magnetic field and cannot exceed the magnetic turning threshold. Therefore, the magnetoresistive random access memory cell at the intersection of the lead 1 26 and the lead 116 can complete the writing of data without disturbing other magnetoresistive random access memory cells. In this magnetoresistive random access memory cell, when reading data in the magnetoresistive random access memory cell, it needs to be electrically connected with a transistor or diode to prevent discrete Reading of current interference data. Therefore, it is necessary to additionally provide a bypass connection electrically connected to the magnetic channel interface element 12 and the transistor (that is, composed of the gate electrode 106, the drain electrode 102 and the source electrode 104) or the diode. 1 2 0 to block discrete currents. Since the wires 1 2 6 and the wires 116 are located on the upper and lower sides of the magnetic channel interface element 1 2 2 respectively, the production of the wires 11 16 first etches the trenches 1 28 in the dielectric layer 1 12 and then deposits conductive materials such as metal (Not shown), and then use a chemical mechanical polishing process to remove a portion of the conductive material to form a conductive wire 116 having a flat surface. However, it is difficult for the CMP process to accurately control the remaining thickness of the entire wafer, so that the thickness distribution of the wires 116 is uneven. Therefore, the writing current density and magnetic flux efficiency will vary with the thickness of the lead 116. That is to say, it is necessary to retain a relatively wide process range, and inevitably requires a large write current. In addition, the bypass wire 120 will increase the area of each unit cell, which will cause the density of the memory cell to decrease.

In the manufacturing process, it is a very stringent picking flow, which can generate more magnetic The current density will increase, and the thickness of the wire will be flattened when the magnetic flux is located under the magnetic channel interface element during the grinding step to flatten the wire. Since it is difficult to effectively control, it is necessary to increase the process range, so that the wire will have a lower power drop, which will increase the power consumption. The disadvantage of the magnetoresistive random access memory cell junction technology. In the memory cell, two are used to write data on the top and bottom sides of the device. It is located on the magnetic flux, and it is used for chemical mechanical grinding.
