Abstract
A non-volatile logic circuit includes an input section, a control section and an output section. The input section has perpendicular magnetic anisotropy and has a ferromagnetic layer whose magnetization state is changeable. The control section includes a ferromagnetic layer. The output section is provided in a neighborhood of the input section and the control section and includes a magnetic tunnel junction element whose magnetization state is changeable. The magnetization state of the input section is changed based on the magnetization state. A magnetization state of the magnetic tunnel junction element of the output section which state is changed based on the magnetization state of the ferromagnetic material of the control section and the magnetization state of the ferromagnetic material of the input section.
