    摘要: A memory device includes a magnetic tunnel junction memory cell having a magnetic tunnel junction structure (114) and a read switch. In one example, the read switch is connected to a conductor that is used to write to the magnetic tunnel junction structure (104). In a further example, the read switch is a transistor electrically coupled to the magnetic tunnel junction structure by a deep via contact. In a further example, the memory device includes a plurality of magnetic tunnel junction memory cells and a plurality of conductors respectively associated with the cells for writing information to the associated magnetic tunnel junction structures. Each read switch (106) is connected to the conductor (110) associated with a magnetic tunnel junction cell other than the cell in which the read switch resides.

    摘要: The invention relates to an integrated magnetoresistive semiconductor memory system, in which n memory cells that comprise two magnetic layers (WML, HML), each separated by a thin dielectric barrier (TL), and associated word lines (WL) and bit lines (BL) that cross one another are vertically stacked in n layers (L1, L2, L3, L4). The system further comprises a decoding circuit for selecting one of the n memory layers (L1 - L4). Said decoding circuit, on both ends of a word line (WL) or a bit line (BL), is provided with one arrangement each that consists of n layer selecting transistors (N0 - N3, N4 - N7) for selecting one of the n memory layers (L1 - L4), and with a line selection transistor (P0, P1) for selecting the respective horizontal word line or bit line (WL or BL) on which a voltage (V) is to be impressed.

    摘要: It is difficult to fabricate a semiconductor memory device without any faulty memory storage cells. One solution is to produce more storage cells than needed on a device and faulty storage cells are replaced by the redundant storage cells. This solution requires that the addresses of the faulty storage cells, along with the replacement storage cells, be saved in a memory. The present invention teaches the use of non-volatile memory cells, particularly magnetoresistive random access memory (MRAM) cells, to store the addresses. Non-volatile memory cells can effectively replace the laser fuses currently used and also provides an advantage in the elimination of the laser fuse-burning step during the fabrication of the device.
