FIG. 1A and FIG. 1B are schematic perspective views illustrating the magnetic device according to the first embodiment.
These drawings illustrate the configuration of the magnetic device 110 according to the present embodiment. These figures also illustrate two different operating states. FIG. 1A shows the first state ST01. FIG. 1B shows the second state ST02.
As illustrated in FIG. 1A and FIG. 1B, the magnetic device 110 includes a first extending magnetic part 11, a first conductive part 51, a first insertion magnetic part 21, and a first intermediate part. 31.
The first extending magnetic part 11 is conductive. The first extending magnetic part 11 includes a first magnetic region 11a and a second magnetic region 11b.
The first magnetic region 11a extends in the first extending direction De1. The first magnetic region 11a has a first magnetization 11am. The first magnetization 11am is variable. The first magnetic region 11a has a first portion p1.
The second magnetic region 11b extends in the first extending direction De1. The second magnetic region 11b has a magnetization 11bm. The magnetization 11bm is variable. The magnetization 11bm is in a different direction from the first magnetization 11am. For example, the magnetization 11bm of the second magnetic region 11b is opposite to the first magnetization 11am.
For example, the first extending magnetic part 11 extends in the first extending direction De1. As will be described later, a plurality of extended magnetic portions may be provided. These extended magnetic portions may be, for example, the wiring 10.
In this example, the first extending magnetic part 11 further includes a domain wall 11w. The domain wall 11w is provided between the first magnetic region 11a and the second magnetic region 11b. The domain wall 11w extends in the first extending direction De1.
The first conductive portion 51 is separated from the first portion p1 in the stacking direction Ds. The stacking direction Ds intersects the first extending direction De1. In this example, the first conductive portion 51 extends in a direction crossing the first extending direction De1.
The first insertion magnetic part 21 is provided between the first conductive part 51 and the first part p1. The first insertion magnetic part 21 has a second magnetization 21m. The second magnetization 21m is variable.
The first intermediate part 31 is provided between the first part p <b> 1 and the first insertion magnetic part 21. The first intermediate portion 31 is nonmagnetic, for example.
For example, the first extending direction De1 is the X-axis direction. The stacking direction Ds is taken as the Z-axis direction. A direction perpendicular to the X-axis direction and the Z-axis direction is taken as a Y-axis direction. In this example, the first conductive portion 51 extends along the Y-axis direction.
When projected onto the XY plane (a plane perpendicular to the stacking direction Ds), the first insertion magnetic part 21 overlaps the first magnetic region 11a. When projected onto the XY plane, the first insertion magnetic part 21 does not overlap the second magnetic region 11b.
For example, a direction that intersects the first extending direction De1 and intersects the stacking direction Ds is defined as a width direction Dw. The width direction Dw is, for example, perpendicular to the first extending direction De1 and perpendicular to the stacking direction Ds. The width direction Dw is, for example, the Y-axis direction.
The length 21w of the first insertion magnetic part 21 along the width direction Dw is equal to or shorter than the length 11aw of the first magnetic region 11a along the width direction Dw. For example, the length 21w is shorter than the length 11aw.
For example, the first magnetization 11am of the first magnetic region 11a has a component along the stacking direction Ds. For example, the magnetization 11bm of the second magnetic region 11b has a component along the stacking direction Ds.
For example, the first magnetization 11am is along the stacking direction Ds. For example, the magnetization 11bm of the second magnetic region 11b is along the stacking direction Ds.
For example, in the first state ST01 illustrated in FIG. 1A, the first current I1 flows through the first extending magnetic unit 11. The first current I1 is along the first extending direction De1. In the first state ST01, the first magnetization 11am of the first magnetic region 11a is set to the first direction. In the example of FIG. 1A, the first direction is, for example, “downward”. In the first state ST01, the magnetization 11bm of the second magnetic region 11b is “upward”.
In this specification, for the sake of simplicity, the expression “downward” or “upward” is used. These expressions are not limited to “lower” or “upper”, but indicate opposite directions.
In the second state ST02 illustrated in FIG. 1B, the second current I2 flows through the first extending magnetic part 11. The second current I2 flows in a direction opposite to the direction of the first current I1. In the second state ST02, the direction of the first magnetization 11am of the first magnetic region 11a is the second direction. In the example of FIG. 1B, the second direction is, for example, “upward”. In the second state ST02, the magnetization 11bm of the second magnetic region 11b is “downward”.
Thus, the first direction (the direction of the first magnetization 11am of the first magnetic region 11a in the first state ST01) is the second direction (the direction of the first magnetization 11am of the first magnetic region 11a in the second state ST02). And vice versa.
The magnetization 11bm of the second magnetic region 11b in the first state ST01 is opposite to the magnetization 11bm of the second magnetic region 11b in the second state ST02.
For example, the magnetization 11bm of the second magnetic region 11b in the first state ST01 is opposite to the first direction. The magnetization 11bm of the second magnetic region 11b in the second state ST02 is opposite to the second direction.
On the other hand, the second magnetization 21m of the first insertion magnetic part 21 has a component along the first magnetization 11am of the first magnetic region 11a, for example. For example, the second magnetization 21m is along the first magnetization 11am.
In the example shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B, the second magnetization 21m is “downward”.
For example, the electrical resistance between the first extending magnetic part 11 and the first conductive part 51 changes according to the relationship between the first magnetization 11am and the second magnetization 21m. For example, this change is based on the magnetoresistive effect.
The change in electrical resistance is used for the operation of a logic circuit, for example. The change in electrical resistance is used, for example, for storing information. For example, the magnetic device 110 can be applied to a logic circuit device. The magnetic device 110 can be applied to a storage device, for example. For example, information is stored by at least one of the first magnetization 11am and the second magnetization 21m.
As described above, the magnetization in the first extending magnetic part 11 is changed by the above-described current, for example. In this example, the magnetic device 110 further includes a drive unit 70. The drive unit 70 is electrically connected to the first extending magnetic unit 11. As will be described later, a current can flow between the first extending magnetic part 11 and the first conductive part 51. The driving unit 70 may be further electrically connected to the first conductive unit 51.
The driving unit 70 supplies the first current I1 and the second current I2 to the first extending magnetic unit 11. By the operation of the drive unit 70, the first state ST01 and the second state ST02 can be formed.
For example, the first magnetization 11am of the first magnetic region 11a and the magnetization 11bm of the second magnetic region 11b are formed by the magnetic field generated by the current. The direction of the first current I1 is opposite to the direction of the second current I2. Different magnetizations are formed depending on the direction of the current. The formation of magnetization is based on, for example, an Oersted magnetic field.
For example, there is a first reference example in which a free layer, a reference layer, and an intermediate layer between the free layer and the reference layer are provided between two wirings. The electric resistance changes depending on the magnetization state of the free layer and the magnetization state of the reference layer. In the first reference example, a reference layer is provided separately from the wiring.
On the other hand, in the magnetic device 110, for example, an electrical resistance state is obtained by the first magnetization 11am of the first magnetic region 11a and the second magnetization 21m of the first insertion magnetic unit 21. For example, the first extending magnetic part 11 can function as a wiring. For this reason, in the embodiment, the reference layer can be omitted. The device can be easily downsized.
On the other hand, for example, there is a second reference example in which a plurality of magnetic regions are provided along the extending direction of a linear magnetic wire. In this case, the domain wall is orthogonal to the extending direction. In the second reference example, since a plurality of magnetic regions are formed in the extending direction of the magnetic wire, the operation is complicated. Accordingly, the driving unit is also complicated.
On the other hand, in the embodiment, each of the plurality of magnetic regions extends in the extending direction of the magnetic wire. That is, the first magnetic region 11a extends along the first extending direction De1. The domain wall extends along the first extending direction De1. In the embodiment, for example, the magnetization of the magnetic region is controlled by the direction of the current. Thereby, magnetization can be controlled easily and accurately. The device can be easily downsized.
According to the embodiment, a high-density magnetic device can be provided.
In the embodiment, for example, a magnetic material having perpendicular magnetization anisotropy is used for the first extending magnetic part 11. In a magnetic material having perpendicular magnetization anisotropy, the magnetization is preferably along the stacking direction Ds. For example, the first extending magnetic part 11 includes at least one of cobalt, iron, and nickel. For example, the first extending magnetic part 11 includes chromium (Cr), zirconia (Zr), copper (Cu), ruthenium (Ru), terbium (Tb), silicon (Si), germanium (Ge), and gallium (Ga). , Magnesium (Mg), manganese (Mn), bismuth (Bi), boron (B), antimony (Sb), platinum (Pt), tantalum (Ta), tungsten (W), palladium (Pd), silver (Ag) , Iridium (Ir), gold (Au), and aluminum (Al) may further be included.
In the embodiment, for example, a magnetic material having perpendicular magnetization anisotropy is used for the first insertion magnetic part 21. For example, the first insertion magnetic part 21 includes at least one of cobalt, iron, and nickel. The first insertion magnetic part 21 includes chromium (Cr), zirconia (Zr), copper (Cu), ruthenium (Ru), terbium (Tb), silicon (Si), germanium (Ge), gallium (Ga), magnesium ( Mg), manganese (Mn), bismuth (Bi), boron (B), antimony (Sb), platinum (Pt), tantalum (Ta), tungsten (W), palladium (Pd), silver (Ag), iridium ( It may further include at least one of Ir), gold (Au), and aluminum (Al).
For example, an oxide is used for the first intermediate portion 31. The first intermediate part 31 preferably includes, for example, an oxide of magnesium. A material that improves the MR ratio can be used for the first intermediate portion 31. For example, the first intermediate portion 31 includes at least aluminum (Al), titanium (Ti), tantalum (Ta), cobalt (Co), nickel (Ni), silicon (Si), magnesium (Mg), and iron (Fe). Any oxide is included. For example, the first intermediate portion 31 includes at least aluminum (Al), titanium (Ti), tantalum (Ta), cobalt (Co), nickel (Ni), silicon (Si), magnesium (Mg), and iron (Fe). Any nitride is included. For example, the first intermediate portion 31 is made of aluminum (Al), titanium (Ti), tantalum (Ta), cobalt (Co), nickel (Ni), silicon (Si), magnesium (Mg), and iron (Fe). Contains chemicals.
For example, the thickness of the first extending magnetic part 11 is not less than 0.2 nm and not more than 400 nm. The thickness is a length along the Z-axis direction. The width of the first extending magnetic part 11 is, for example, not less than 10 nm and not more than 5000 nm. The width (length 11aw) of the first magnetic region 11a is, for example, not less than 5 nm and not more than 5000 nm. The width of the second magnetic region 11b is, for example, not less than 5 nm and not more than 5000 nm. The width of the domain wall 11w is, for example, not less than 1 nm and not more than 500 nm. The width is, for example, a length along the Y-axis direction. The length (length along the X-axis direction) of the first extending magnetic part 11 is, for example, not less than 0.01 μm and not more than 1000 μm.
The thickness of the first insertion magnetic part 21 is, for example, not less than 0.2 nm and not more than 400 nm. The width (for example, length 21w) of the 1st insertion magnetic part 21 is 5 nm or more and 5000 nm or less, for example.
The thickness of the first intermediate portion 31 is, for example, not less than 0.5 nm and not more than 50 nm.
The above thicknesses, widths and lengths are examples. In the embodiment, these values are arbitrary.
In this example, the direction from the first magnetic region 11a toward the second magnetic region 11b intersects the first extending direction De1 and intersects the stacking direction Ds. In the embodiment, the direction from the first magnetic region 11a to the second magnetic region 11b may be parallel to the stacking direction Ds. For example, the first magnetic region 11 a may be provided between the second magnetic region 11 b and the first conductive portion 51. Hereinafter, a case where the direction from the first magnetic region 11a toward the second magnetic region 11b intersects the first extending direction De1 and intersects the stacking direction Ds will be described.
In the magnetic device 110, for example, four types of states are formed by the first magnetization 11am and the second magnetization 21m. Hereinafter, examples of these states will be described.
FIG. 2A to FIG. 2D are schematic cross-sectional views illustrating the magnetic device according to the first embodiment.
In the first state ST01 illustrated in FIG. 2A, the first current I1 flows. The first magnetization 11am is downward. The second magnetization 21m is downward. For example, the third current I <b> 3 flows between the first extending magnetic part 11 and the first conductive part 51. The direction of the third current I3 is, for example, from the first conductive part 51 toward the first extending magnetic part 11. For example, for example, a spin transfer torque acts between the first magnetic region 11 a and the first insertion magnetic part 21. Thereby, the second magnetization 21m is in a direction corresponding to the first magnetization 11am. In this case, the second magnetization 21m is the same (parallel) as the first magnetization 11am.
In the second state ST02 illustrated in FIG. 2B, the second current I2 flows. The first magnetization 11am is upward. The second magnetization 21m is downward. For example, the fourth current I <b> 4 flows between the first extending magnetic part 11 and the first conductive part 51. The direction of the fourth current I4 is, for example, from the first extending magnetic part 11 toward the first conductive part 51. Also in this case, for example, a spin transfer torque acts between the first magnetic region 11a and the first insertion magnetic part 21. Thereby, the second magnetization 21m is in a direction corresponding to the first magnetization 11am. In this case, the second magnetization 21m is opposite (antiparallel) to the first magnetization 11am.
In the third state ST03 illustrated in FIG. 2C, the first current I1 flows. The first magnetization 11am is downward. The second magnetization 21m is upward. For example, the fourth current I <b> 4 flows between the first extending magnetic part 11 and the first conductive part 51. Also in this case, spin transfer torque acts. Thereby, the second magnetization 21m is in a direction corresponding to the first magnetization 11am. In this case, the second magnetization 21m is opposite (antiparallel) to the first magnetization 11am.
In the fourth state ST04 illustrated in FIG. 2D, the second current I2 flows. The first magnetization 11am is upward. The second magnetization 21m is upward. For example, the third current I <b> 3 flows between the first extending magnetic part 11 and the first conductive part 51. Also in this case, spin transfer torque acts. Thereby, the second magnetization 21m is in a direction corresponding to the first magnetization 11am. In this case, the second magnetization 21m is the same (parallel) as the first magnetization 11am.
For example, when the direction of the second magnetization 21m is the same as the direction of the first magnetization 11am, the electrical resistance between the first extending magnetic part 11 and the first conductive part 51 is the first resistance. For example, when the direction of the second magnetization 21m is opposite to the direction of the first magnetization 11am, the electrical resistance between the first extending magnetic part 11 and the first conductive part 51 is the second resistance. The second resistor is different from the first resistor. For example, the second resistance is higher than the first resistance.
For example, a logic circuit can be obtained by using this change in resistance.
FIG. 3 is a schematic view illustrating the operation of the magnetic device according to the first embodiment.
As illustrated in FIG. 3, the two states of the first magnetization 11am correspond to, for example, “0” and “1”. For example, the state in which the first magnetization 11am is “downward” corresponds to “0”. The state where the first magnetization 11am is “upward” corresponds to “1”. For example, the state of the first magnetization 11am is set as the first input IN1.
The two states of the second magnetization 21m correspond to, for example, “0” and “1”. For example, the state in which the second magnetization 21m is “downward” corresponds to “0”. The state in which the second magnetization 21m is “upward” corresponds to “1”. The state of the second magnetization 21m is set as the second input IN2.
The electrical resistance between the first extending magnetic part 11 and the first conductive part 51 is the first resistance or the second resistance. The first resistance (for example, low resistance) is made to correspond to “0”. The second resistance (for example, high resistance) is made to correspond to “1”. The state of electrical resistance is defined as output OP.
The output OP is an exclusive OR (XOR) of the first input IN1 and the second input IN2. That is, the electrical state between the first extending magnetic part 11 and the first conductive part 51 is an exclusive logic between the first input IN1 of the first magnetization 11am and the second input IN2 of the second magnetization 21m. It becomes a state according to the sum. In this example, the magnetic device 110 is used as an XOR logic circuit.
FIG. 4A and FIG. 4B are flowcharts illustrating the operation of the magnetic device according to the first embodiment.
As illustrated in FIG. 4A, magnetization is set (step S110). The magnetization includes, for example, a first magnetization 11am and a second magnetization 21m. The setting of magnetization corresponds to, for example, a write operation. The write operation includes an erase operation.
Furthermore, resistance is measured (step S120). That is, the resistance between the first extending magnetic part 11 and the first conductive part 51 is measured. This resistance changes based on the magnetoresistance effect. The measurement of resistance corresponds to, for example, a read operation.
FIG. 4B illustrates the write operation. For example, the first magnetization 11am is set (step S111). For example, the first current I1 or the second current I2 is supplied to the first extending magnetic unit 11. The second magnetization 21m is set (step S112). For example, the third current I3 or the fourth current I4 is supplied. In the embodiment, step S111 and step S112 can be interchanged with each other.
FIG. 5 is a schematic perspective view illustrating another magnetic device according to the first embodiment.
As shown in FIG. 5, in another magnetic device 111 according to this embodiment, a substrate 68 is further provided.

For example, the magnetization 51 am and the magnetization 51 bm can be controlled by a current supplied to the first conductive unit 51.
In the state ST11 illustrated in FIG. 7A, the current I5 (fifth current) flows through the first conductive portion 51. The current I5 is along the first conductive part direction Dc1.

In the state ST12 illustrated in FIG. 7B, a current I6 (sixth current) flows through the first conductive portion 51. The current I6 is opposite to the current I5. At this time, for example, the magnetization 51am of the magnetic region 51a is “upward”. The magnetization 51bm of the magnetic region 51b is “downward”.
That is, the magnetization 51am in the state ST11 is opposite to the magnetization 51am in the state ST12. The magnetization 51bm in the state ST11 is opposite to the magnetization 51bm in the state ST12.
The magnetization 51bm in the state ST11 is opposite to the magnetization 51am in the state ST11. The magnetization 51bm in the state ST12 is opposite to the magnetization 51am in the state ST12.
The current I5 and the current I6 can be supplied by the driving unit 70, for example. With these currents, the magnetization 51am of the magnetic region 51a and the magnetization 51bm of the magnetic region 51b can be controlled.
In the magnetic device 120, for example, the MR ratio of the magnetoresistive effect can be further improved. Stable operation is possible. Even if the device is downsized, stable operation is possible. The magnetic device 120 can be further downsized.
For example, the width of the first insertion magnetic part 21 is equal to or smaller than the width of the magnetic region 51a. The width of the first insertion magnetic part 21 is smaller than the width of the magnetic region 51a. The width direction of the magnetic region 51a is a direction orthogonal to the first conductive part direction Dc1. The width direction of the first insertion magnetic part 21 is a direction orthogonal to the first conductive part direction Dc1.
For example, when projected onto the XY plane, the first insertion magnetic unit 21 overlaps the magnetic region 51a. For example, the first insertion magnetic part 21 does not overlap with the magnetic region 51b when projected onto the XY plane.
