  • Publication number: 20020109167
    Abstract: A memory device and a fabrication method therefor. In order to improve an operation property of a magnetic RAM (abbreviated as ‘MRAM’) having a higher speed than an SRAM, integration as high as a DRAM, and a property of a nonvolatile memory such as a flash memory, an oxide film is thinly formed on a second word line which is a write line, and an MTJ cell is formed according to a succeeding process. The MRAM is formed by reducing a distance between the write line and the MTJ cell. It is thus possible to perform a write operation with a small current.
