Abstract

The invention provides a magneto-resistor element with a three-decker memory layer. The magneto-resistor element comprises a reference layer, a barrier layer, the memory layer, a crystal lattice optimizing layer and a base layer which are sequentially adjacent to one another. The magnetization direction of the reference layer is unchanged, and the magnetic anisotropy of the reference layer is perpendicular to the layer surface. The magnetization direction of the memory layer is changed, and the magnetic anisotropy of the memory layer is perpendicular to the layer surface. The memory layer is composed of a first memory sub layer, a second memory sub layer and an inserting layer arranged between the first memory sub layer and the second memory sub layer, wherein the first memory sub layer, the second memory sub layer and the inserting layer are sequentially arranged adjacent to one another. The barrier layer is adjacent to the first memory sub layer. The crystal lattice optimizing layer is adjacent to the second memory sub layer, the crystal lattice optimizing layer is a material layer of a NaCl crystal lattice structure, and the crystal face of the crystal lattice optimizing layer is parallel to the plane of a base. The crystal lattice optimizing layer further includes at least one doping element, and the crystal lattice optimizing layer further can be of a double-decker structure. The magneto-resistor element further comprises a magnetic calibration layer and a spin polarization stable layer, and the magnetic calibration layer and the spin polarization stable layer are sequentially arranged between the base layer and the crystal lattice optimizing layer.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of storage devices, in particular to a vertical magnetoresistance element. Background technique [0002] Magnetic Tunnel Junction (MTJ, Magnetic Tunnel Junction) is a magnetic multilayer film composed of an insulator or a semiconductor. Under the action of a voltage across the insulating layer, its tunnel current and tunnel resistance depend on the relative magnetization of the two ferromagnetic layers. Orientation, when this relative orientation changes under the action of an external magnetic field, a large tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) can be observed. The magnetic random access memory made by people using the characteristics of MTJ is non-volatile magnetic random access memory (MRAM, Magnetic Random Access Memory). MRAM is a new type of solid-state non-volatile memory, which has the characteristics of high-speed reading and writing, large capacity, and low power consumption. [0003] Spin Transfer Torque (ST...
