Abstract:
In an MRAM array based on MTJs, the size of segmented word line selec transistors (38) and their associated connections become a significant overhead, especially when the operating point is chosen deep along the hard axis of the asteroid curve. This problem has been overcome by placing the big segmented word line select transistor (38) under the MTJ array and reducing the overall MRAM cell array (MTJ) down to a level comparable to a simple Cross Point MRAM array (MTJ).
Abstract:
The word line segment select transistor of a segmented word line array is placed on the word line current source side. This eliminates many undesirable effects currently associated with segmented word line MRAM arrays.

Abstract:
The word line segment select transistor (15) of a segmented word line array (11, 12) is placed on the word line current source side (14). This eliminates many undesirable effects effects currently associated with segmented word line MRAM arrays (18).
