Abstract

A magnetoresistive random access memory (MRAM) cell includes a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ), a top electrode disposed over the MTJ, a bottom electrode disposed below the MTJ, and an induction line disposed to one side of the MTJ. The induction line is configured to induce a perpendicular magnetic field at the MTJ.
