Abstract

A digital data memory having a bit structure in a memory cell based on a dielectric intermediate separating material with two major surfaces having thereon an anisotropic ferromagnetic thin-film of differing thicknesses. These bit structures are fabricated within structural extent limits to operate satisfactorily, and are fabricated as series connected members of storage line structures. A corresponding conductive word line structure adjacent corresponding ones of these memory cells is used for selecting or operating them, or both, in data storage and retrieval operations.
