Abstract:
1. A magnetic random access memory comprising: a first bit line and a second bit line; a source line formed for a group having the first bit line and the second bit line, adjacent to the first bit line, said source line running in a first direction in which the first bit line and the second bit line run but not being arranged between the first bit line and the second bit line, the first and second bit lines and the source line being arranged in a same interconnection level; a first magnetoresistive effect element connected to the first bit line; a second magnetoresistive effect element connected to the second bit line; a first transistor connected in series with the first magnetoresistive effect element; and a second transistor connected in series with the second magnetoresistive effect element, wherein a first cell having the first magnetoresistive effect element and the first transistor and a second cell having the second magnetoresistive effect element and the second transistor are connected together to the source line.
