Patent ID: 6845038

Claim:
A magnetic tunnel junction memory cell comprising: a non-linear element; a first electrically conductive line coupled to the non-linear element; a second electrically conductive line overlapping the first conductive line at a first intersection region; means for conducting magnetic flux wherein the means for conducting magnetic flux are positioned at the first intersection region in a vertical space between the first conductive line and the second conductive line; a magnetic tunnel junction memory element sandwiched by the means for conducting magnetic flux and electrically connected in series with the second conductive line, the means for conducting magnetic flux and the non-linear element; a third electrically conductive line parallel to the first conductive line; and a fourth electrically conductive line parallel to the second conductive line, overlapping the third conductive line at a second intersection region and defining a corner at the second intersection region, wherein the means for conducting magnetic flux are positioned in the corner at the second intersection region.
