Abstract

A symmetric Spin Transfer Torque Magnetoresistive Random Access Memory (STT-MRAM) bit cell and STT-MRAM bit cell array are disclosed. The STT-MRAM bit cell includes a poly silicon layer, a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) storage element, and a bottom electrode (BE) plate. The storage element and bottom electrode (BE) plate are symmetric along a center line of the poly silicon layer.
