In a magnetic random access memory (MRAM), numerous arrays of reference bit cells are coupled together by coupling their respective bit lines to a merged reference node. Pass gate circuitry coupled between the respective reference bit lines and the merged reference node is configured for selectively coupling or decoupling one or more of the reference bit lines to and from the merged reference node. The pass gate circuitry is controllable by programming one-time programmable devices coupled to the pass gate circuitry. The one-time programmable devices can be programmed to decouple flawed arrays of reference bit cells from the merged reference node or to select between redundant arrays of reference bit cells for coupling to the reference node.

A Multi-Level Memory Cell (MLC) using multiple Magnetic Tunnel Junction (MTJ) structures having one or more layers with varying thickness is disclosed. The multiple MTJ structures, which are vertically stacked and arranged in series, may have substantially identical area dimensions to minimize fabrication costs because one mask can be used to pattern the multiple MTJ structures. Further, varying the thicknesses associated with the one or more layers may provide the multiple MTJ structures with different switching current densities and thereby increase memory density and improve read and write operations. In one embodiment, the layers with the varying thicknesses may include tunnel barriers or magnesium oxide layers associated with the multiple MTJ structures and/or free layers associated with the multiple MTJ structures.

A circuit includes a first reference pair that includes a first path and a second path. The first path includes a first magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) element, and the second path includes a second MTJ element. The circuit further includes a second reference pair that includes a third path and a fourth path. The third path includes a third MTJ element, and the fourth path includes a fourth MTJ element. The first reference pair and the second reference pair are tied together in parallel. A reference resistance of the circuit is based on a resistance of each of the first, second, third, and fourth MTJ elements. The reference resistance of the circuit is adjustable by adjusting a resistance of one of the MTJ elements.

A method writes data to a resistive memory, such as spin torque transfer magnetic random access memory (STT-MRAM). The method writes received bits of data to a memory cell array, in response to a first write signal. The method also reads stored data from the memory cell array, after the first write signal is generated, and then compares the stored data with the received bits of data to determine whether each of the received bits of data was written to the memory. In response to a second write signal, received bits of data determined not to have been written during the first write signal, are written.

A substrate bonding method for mutually bonding substrates, has a first radiation step for irradiating the surfaces of the individual substrates with an oxygen particle beam, a second radiation step for irradiating the surfaces of the individual substrate with a nitrogen particle beam simultaneously with or subsequently to the first radiation step, and a step for stacking the individual substrates and bringing the surfaces thereof into close contact. Particularly, the substrates which have been irradiated first with an oxygen plasma and subsequently with a nitrogen plasma are stacked and bonded.

There is provided a cell line that is prepared by transforming HEK293 cell with a human Kir2.1 gene using a retrovirus expression system, wherein the HEK293 expresses a stable α1G T-type calcium channel. The cell line responds sensitively to KCl and forms an appropriate level of the membrane voltage so that the cell signaling pathway may be investigated by the molecular biological and biochemical studies.
