Abstract:
1. A magnetic random access memory comprising: a magnetic recording layer including a magnetization free region having a reversible magnetization, through which layer a write current is flown in an in-plane direction; a magnetization fixed layer having a fixed magnetization; a non-magnetic layer provided between said magnetization free region and said magnetization fixed layer; a heat sink structure provided to be opposed to said magnetic recording layer and having a function of receiving and radiating heat generated in said magnetic recording layer; and first and second interconnections, wherein said magnetic recording layer further includes: a first magnetization fixed region coupled with a first boundary of said magnetization free region and having a fixed magnetization; and a second magnetization fixed region coupled with a second boundary of said magnetization free region and having a fixed magnetization, wherein said first interconnection is electrically connected with said first magnetization fixed region, wherein said second interconnection is electrically connected with said second magnetization fixed region, wherein said first magnetization fixed region, said magnetization free region, and said second magnetization fixed region are arranged in a first direction, wherein said first and second interconnections extend in a second direction orthogonal to said first direction, wherein said heat sink structure is provided between said first magnetization fixed region and said first interconnection, and wherein said first magnetization fixed region is connected to said heat structure via a first via contact, and said heat sink structure is connected to said first interconnection via a second via contact.
