Abstract: The output voltage of an MRAM is increased by means of an Fe(001)/MgO(001)/Fe(001) MTJ device, which is formed by microfabrication of a sample prepared as follows: A single-crystalline MgO (001) substrate is prepared. An epitaxial Fe(001) lower electrode (a first electrode) is grown on a MgO(001) seed layer at room temperature, followed by annealing under ultrahigh vacuum. A MgO(001) barrier layer is epitaxially formed on the Fe(001) lower electrode (the first electrode) at room temperature, using a MgO electron-beam evaporation. A Fe(001) upper electrode (a second electrode) is then formed on the MgO(001) barrier layer at room temperature. This is successively followed by the deposition of a Co layer on the Fe(001) upper electrode (the second electrode). The Co layer is provided so as to increase the coercive force of the upper electrode in order to realize an antiparallel magnetization alignment.

The stacked body includes a first conductive layer, a second conductive layer, a first magnetic layer provided between the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer, a second magnetic layer provided between the first magnetic layer and the second conductive layer, and a nonmagnetic layer provided between the first magnetic layer and the second magnetic layer. A resistance value per unit area of the nonmagnetic layer exceeds 20 Ωμm2. The controller is electrically connected to the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer, and supplies a write pulse to the stacked body in a first operation. The write pulse includes a rise period, a potential of the write pulse changing from a first potential toward a second potential in the rise period, an intermediate period of the second potential after the rise period, and a fall period after the intermediate period, the potential of the write pulse changing from the second potential toward the first potential in the fall period. A duration of the fall period is longer than a duration of the rise period.
