  • Memory array including magnetic random access memory cells and oblique field lines
    Patent number: 8587079
    Abstract: A memory device includes a first plurality of magnetic random access memory (MRAM) cells positioned along a first direction, and a first bit line electrically connected to the first plurality of MRAM cells, the bit line oriented in the first direction. The device includes a first plurality of field lines oriented in a second direction different from the first direction, the first plurality of field lines being spaced such that only a corresponding first one of the first plurality of MRAM cells is configurable by each of the first plurality of field lines. The device includes a second plurality of field lines oriented in a third direction different from the first direction and the second direction, the second plurality of field lines being spaced such that only a corresponding second one of the first plurality of MRAM cells is configurable by each of the second plurality of field lines.
