Disclosed is a magnetic memory apparatus which comprises a patterned magnetic
recording medium in which multilayered films each having a first magnetic layer,
a nonmagnetic metal layer or a nonmagnetic insulating layer and a second magnetic
layer deposited discretely on a conductive electrode layer formed on a substrate,
and a cantilever array having a plurality of cantilevers each having a conductive
chip at its distal end. This provides a magnetic solid memory apparatus that has
a large memory capacity and a super fast transfer rate, the merits of a hard disk
apparatus, and a nanostructure and low power consumption, which are the merits
of a semiconductor memory.
