摘要
A program has been developed for simulating sub-micron GMR memory cells. The simulation program is based on a two dimensional micro-magnetic equation; exchange forces, Important at these dimensions, are included in the calculations. Simulation results are used to estimate the resistance change and required switching fields for 0.2 mu m by 0.7 mu m memory cells. The calculated values, Delta R of 0.028 Omega and word field of 1500 Oe for switching, closely approximate the measured values of 0.015 Omega to 0.03 delta and about 1700 Oe.
