Abstract:
A method of fabricating a Magnetic Random Access Memory (MRAM) comprising:forming an array of magneto-resistive bits such that the magneto-resistive bits are further arranged in a plurality of rows, where a major axis of a magneto-resistive bit is offset from a row to which it corresponds; forming a plurality of digital lines such that a digital line is adjacent to a row of magneto-resistive bits such that the digital line is offset from the major axes of the magneto-resistive bits in the row; forming a plurality of word lines such that a word line crosses a digital line but is not perpendicular to the digital line, where the word line is substantially perpendicular to the major axes of adjacent magneto-resistive bits; and forming a plurality of sense lines, where a sense line electrically connects magneto-resistive bits of a row.
