Abstract:
1. An apparatus for applying Oersted fields to a magnetic memory device, the apparatus comprising: a first metal layer; a first insulating layer positioned on the first metal layer; a magnetic shift register wire positioned on the first insulating layer; a second insulating layer positioned on the magnetic shift register wire; a second metal layer positioned on the second insulating layer; a first conducting wire positioned in the first metal layer and extending transverse to the magnetic shift register wire; and a second conducting wire positioned in the second metal layer and extending transverse to the magnetic shift register wire; wherein the first conducting wire is offset relative to the second conducting wire, the offset being defined by a distance between a first axis extending normal to the magnetic shift register wire and through the first conducting wire and a second axis extending normal to the magnetic shift register wire and through the second conducting wire.
