Abstract
Some examples relate to an integrated circuit. The integrated circuit comprises a semiconductor substrate, a bottom electrode over the substrate, a circular magnetic tunneling junction (MTJ) disposed over an upper surface of bottom electrode, and a circular top electrode disposed over an upper surface of the magnetic tunneling junction. The circular top electrode is concentric to the circular magnetic tunneling junction, and a diameter of the circular magnetic tunneling junction is smaller than 60 nm or smaller than 30 nm.
