Abstract:
A magneto-resistive memory comprising:two or more elongated magneto-resistive bits each having an axis along its length; two or more elongated word lines extending substantially parallel to one another, each of the elongated word lines having an axis along its length and extending adjacent a corresponding one of the magneto-resistive bits; an elongated digital line extending adjacent each of the magneto-resistive bits, the elongated digital line extending generally along an axis along 2 points of the magneto-resistive memory; the axis of the elongated digital line being offset relative to the axes of the elongated word lines such that the axis of the elongated digital line is not perpendicular to the axes of the elongated word lines; and the axis of each elongated magneto-resistive bit being substantially perpendicular to the axis of the corresponding elongated word line.
