Disclosed is an operation method of a neural network element using a Hall voltage. The neural network element has a hole pattern portion, and the hole pattern portion has a cross shape. When a pulse current is applied, horizontal magnetic anisotropy is formed in a ferromagnetic layer by means of spin-orbit torque, and when an external magnetic field in a direction perpendicular to the pulse current is applied, the inversion of magnetization occurs by means of additional torque. The movement of a magnetic domain wall is performed by the inversion of magnetization, spin electrons applied thereby are scattered, and a Hall voltage is generated according to the anomalous Hall effect. The generated Hall voltage increases according to the number of applications of the pulse current or pulse voltage.

Operation method of neural network element using spin-orbit torque

A three-axis magnetic sensor which is not physically separated from each other and made of one element is provided. A spin-orbit torque is generated through an interface junction between a magnetization seed layer and a magnetization free layer, and through this, a change in an in-plane magnetic field may be sensed in the form of current or voltage in the magnetization seed layer. Further, a tunneling insulating layer and a magnetization pinned layer are formed on the magnetization free layer. The formed structure induces a tunnel magneto-resistance phenomenon. Through this, a change in a magnetic field in a vertical direction is sensed.
