Patent ID: 7630231

Claim:
A magnetoresistive hybrid memory cell, comprising: a first stacked structure comprising a magnetic tunnel junction including first and second magnetic regions stacked in a parallel, overlying relationship separated by a layer of non-magnetic material, wherein the first magnetic region has a fixed first magnetic moment vector and the second magnetic region has a free second magnetic moment vector which is switchable between a same and opposite directions with respect to the fixed first magnetic moment vector of the first magnetic region; a second stacked structure arranged at least partly in a lateral relationship to the first stacked structure and comprising a third magnetic region having a fixed third magnetic moment vector and the second magnetic region; and at least two electrodes, wherein the first and second structures are arranged between, and are in electrical contact with, the at least two electrodes, wherein the first magnetic moment vector of the first magnetic region is aligned parallel with respect to the second magnetic moment vector of the second magnetic region.
