Definitions
- the present invention relates to a magnetic random access memory (MRAM), which is a so-called non-volatile memory, comprising a memory element in which a magnetization fixed layer having a fixed magnetization direction and a magnetic layer capable of changing the magnetization direction are stacked.
- MRAM magnetic random access memory
- the present invention relates to a magnetic memory device configured as a random access memory (Random Access Memory) or a magnetic memory device including a memory element having a magnetizable magnetic layer.
- a magnetic memory device configured as a random access memory (Random Access Memory) or a magnetic memory device including a memory element having a magnetizable magnetic layer.
- nonvolatile memory is considered to be indispensable in the ubiquitous era.
- Non-volatile memory can protect important information, including personal information, in the event of power exhaustion or trouble, or if the server and network are disconnected for some reason.
- recent portable devices are designed to minimize power consumption by placing unnecessary circuit blocks in standby mode, but non-volatile memory that can serve as both high-speed work memory and large-capacity storage memory If this can be achieved, power consumption and memory waste can be eliminated. If a high-speed, large-capacity nonvolatile memory can be realized, an “instant-on” function that can be started immediately when the power is turned on will be possible.
- the non-volatile memory include a flash memory using a semiconductor and a ferroelectric random access memory (FRAM) using a strong dielectric.
- FRAM ferroelectric random access memory
- DRAM Dynamic Random Access Memory
- Magnetic Random Access Memory This is a magnetic memory that has attracted attention due to the recent improvement in the properties of TMR (Tunnel Magnetoresitance) materials.
- MRAM is a semiconductor magnetic memory that uses the magnetoresistive effect based on the spin-dependent conduction phenomenon peculiar to nanomagnets, and is a non-volatile memory that can retain its memory without supplying external power.
- the MRAM has a simple structure, so that high integration is easy.
- the recording is performed by rotating the magnetic moment, the number of rewritable times is large, and the access time is very high. It is expected and has already been reported that it can operate at 100 MHz in R. Scheuerlein et al, ISSCC Digest of Technical Papers, pp.128-129, Feb.2000.
- a TMR element 10 serving as a storage element of a memory cell of the MRAM is composed of: It includes a storage layer 2 and magnetization fixed layers 4 and 6 provided on a support substrate 9 and whose magnetization rotates relatively easily.
- the fixed magnetization layer has two fixed magnetization layers, a first fixed magnetization layer 4 and a second fixed magnetization layer 6, and a conductor between which these magnetic layers are antiferromagnetically coupled.
- Layer 5 is arranged.
- a ferromagnetic material made of nickel, iron, cobalt, or an alloy thereof is used.
- the material of the conductor layer 5 ruthenium, copper, chromium, gold, Silver or the like can be used.
- the second fixed magnetization layer 6 is in contact with the antiferromagnetic layer 7, and the second magnetization fixed layer 6 has strong unidirectional magnetic anisotropy due to exchange interaction acting between these layers.
- a manganese alloy such as iron, nickel, platinum, iridium, and rhodium, cobalt, and nickel oxide can be used.
- a tunnel barrier layer 3 made of an insulator made of an oxide or nitride of aluminum, magnesium, silicon, or the like is sandwiched between the storage layer 2 as the magnetic layer and the first magnetization fixed layer 4. It cuts the magnetic coupling between the storage layer 2 and the magnetization fixed layer 4 and plays a role in passing a tunnel current.
- These magnetic layers and conductor layers are mainly formed by a sputtering method.
- the tunnel barrier layer 3 can be obtained by oxidizing or nitriding a metal film formed by sputtering.
- the top coat layer 1 has a role of preventing interdiffusion between the TMR element 10 and wiring connected to the TMR element 10, reducing contact resistance, and preventing oxidation of the storage layer 2, and usually, Cu, Ta, T Materials such as iN can be used.
- the base electrode layer 8 is used for connection with a switching element connected in series with the TMR element. This lower electrode layer 8 may also serve as the antiferromagnetic layer 7.
- information is read out by detecting a change in tunnel current due to the magnetoresistance effect as described later, and the effect depends on the relative magnetization direction between the storage layer and the magnetization fixed layer. .
- FIG. 15 is an enlarged perspective view showing a part of a general MRAM in a simplified manner.
- the read circuit portion is omitted for simplicity, but includes, for example, nine memory cells and has a bit line 11 and a write word line 12 that cross each other. At these intersections, a TMR element 10 is arranged.When writing to the TMR element 10, a current flows through the bit line 11 and the write word line 12, and the magnetic field generated from them is synthesized. Writing is performed by the magnetic field such that the magnetization direction of the storage layer 2 of the TMR element 10 at the intersection of the bit line 11 and the write word line 12 is parallel or anti-parallel to the magnetization fixed layer.
- FIG. 16 schematically shows a cross section of the memory cell, for example, a gate insulating film 15 formed in a p-type well region 14 formed in a p-type silicon semiconductor substrate 13, and a gate electrode.

- a magnetic field reversal occurs, but the resultant magnetic field vector inside the asteroid curve cannot reverse the cell from one of its current bistable states. Absent.
- the magnitude of the magnetic field is one-way reversal magnetic field ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ or more.
- the magnetization directions of the cells other than the intersections are also reversed, so that the selected cell can be selectively written only when the combined magnetic field is in the gray area in the figure.
- MRAM memory random access memory
- a bit line and a word line only the designated memory cells can be selectively used by reversing the magnetic spins by utilizing the asteroid magnetization reversal characteristics.
- Writing is common.
- the combined magnetic field in a single storage area is determined by the vector combination of the easy-axis magnetic field H EA and the hard-axis magnetic field H HA applied thereto.
- the write current flowing through the bit line is applied to the cell in the easy axis direction.
- a magnetic field H EA is applied, and the current flowing through the word line applies a magnetic field H HA in the hard axis direction to the cell.
- FIG. 19 explains the read operation of the MRAM.
- the layer configuration of the TMR element 10 is schematically illustrated, the above-described magnetization fixed layer is illustrated as a single layer 26, and illustrations other than the storage layer 2 and the tunnel barrier layer 3 are omitted.

- a magnetic material is used to hold the memory, information is erased or written by the influence of an external magnetic field. There is a problem of being returned.
- the reversal magnetic field in the easy axis direction and the reversal magnetic field in the hard axis direction H sw described in FIG. 18 are 20 to 200 Oe (0 e), depending on the material.
- the coercive force (H e) at the time of writing is, for example, several ⁇ e to lOO e Therefore, if an internal leakage magnetic field due to a higher external magnetic field acts thereon, it may become impossible to selectively perform writing to a predetermined memory cell.
- MRAM memory
- the environment in which MRAM is mounted and used is mainly on high-density mounting boards and inside electronic devices.
- semiconductor elements, communication elements, micro motors, etc. are densely mounted on high-density mounting boards.
- a high-density mounting of antenna elements, various mechanical parts, and power supplies constitutes one device.
- This ability to be embedded is one of the features of MRAM as a nonvolatile memory.However, the magnetic field components in a wide frequency range from DC to low to high frequencies are mixed around MRAM. In order to ensure the reliability of MRAM record retention, it is required to improve the resistance to external magnetic fields by devising the mounting method of the MRAM itself and the shield structure.
- a magnetic card such as a credit card of a credit card bank is required to have a resistance to a magnetic field of 500 to 600 Oe. . Therefore, in the field of magnetic cards correspond with a large magnetic material coercivity such as C o coating ⁇ _F e 2 0 3 and B a ferrite. Also, in the field of prepaid cards, it is necessary to withstand a magnetic field such as 350 to 600 e. Since the MRAM element is mounted inside the housing of an electronic device and is expected to be carried around, it can withstand the same strong external magnetic field as magnetic cards. In particular, the magnitude of the internal (leakage) magnetic field must be kept to 20 ⁇ e or less, preferably 1OOe or less, for the reasons described above.
- the saturation magnetization of the ferrite itself is low (0.2 to 0.5 Tesla (T) for a general ferrite material). Therefore, it is impossible to completely prevent the penetration of external magnetic fields.
- the ferrite's own saturation magnetism is about 0.2 to 0.35 T for NiZn ferrite and about 0.35 to 0.47 T for MnZn ferrite, but it is Since the size of the penetrating external magnetic field is as large as several hundred OO e, the magnetic permeability of the ferrite becomes almost 1 due to the magnetic saturation of the ferrite at the saturation magnetization of the ferrite, and it does not function.
- Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2001-250206 discloses a magnetic shield structure using soft iron or the like. However, this only covers the upper part of the element, so that the magnetic shield becomes incomplete and soft iron is used.
- the saturation magnetization is 1.7 T and the magnetic permeability is about 300 at i, which is insufficient magnetic properties. Therefore, it is extremely difficult to completely prevent the invasion of the external magnetic field even if the magnetic shield is performed by the structure described in JP-A-2001-250206.
- the present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and has as its object the purpose of magnetically shielding an MRAM element more than a large external magnetic field and applying an MRAM element.
