摘要:
A magneto-electronic component includes a first current line (120, 520, 620, 820) for generating a first magnetic field, a magnetic memory cell (140, 540, 640, 740, 840), and a second current line (170, 470) for generating a second magnetic field and substantially perpendicular to the first current line. The magnetic memory cell includes a multi-state memory layer having a structure adjacent to the first current line such that a magnetic flux emanating from the multi-state memory layer is substantially confined to wrap around the first current line. The second current line is located adjacent to a portion of the multi-state memory layer.
