Abstract

An MRAM device comprises a plurality of MRAM structures, each MRAM structure comprising a magnetoresistive memory cell in close proximity to a high permeability conductive line and a single transistor configured to access the magnetoresistive memory cell for both read and write operations. The high permeability conductive line acts a current path for both read and write operations, thereby reducing the number of metal bit lines.
