Abstract

A memory cell apparatus is provided. The apparatus comprises two or more magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs), including a first MTJ having a first magnetic characteristic and a first electrical characteristic and a second MTJ having a second magnetic characteristic and a second electrical characteristic. The first magnetic characteristic is distinct from the second magnetic characteristic. The apparatus further comprises a transistor having three terminals, where the first MTJ is coupled to a first terminal of the three terminals and a metallic separator coupling the first MTJ with the second MTJ. The first MTJ and the second MTJ are arranged in series.
