Claim:
1. A memory device comprising; a storage layer including a direction of magnetization that is configured to be changed according to information, the direction of magnetization extending along a first axis that is perpendicular to an upper film surface of the storage layer; a magnetization fixed layer; an intermediate layer including a nonmagnetic material disposed between the storage layer and the magnetization fixed layer; and wherein the magnetization fixed layer includes at least first and second ferromagnetic layers laminated interposing a coupling layer therebetween, a first direction of magnetization of the first ferromagnetic layer is different from a second direction of magnetization of the second ferromagnetic layer, and wherein the first direction and the second direction are oblique with respect to the first axis.
