Abstract

High density magnetic random access memory (MRAM) is disclosed. In the MRAM, by using the multi-layered magnetic materials with different resistance characteristics, the magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) cells are connected in parallel or in series, which are connected to a transistor, so as to be a control element for reading data without complicated reading procedure and timing, resulting in high density package of MRAM.
