Patent ID: 7969768

Claim:
A magnetic random access memory comprising: a first magnetoresistive effect element having a first fixed layer whose magnetization direction is fixed, a first recording layer whose magnetization direction is reversible, and a first non-magnetic layer provided between the first fixed layer and the first recording layer, wherein the magnetization directions of the first fixed layer and the first recording layer are in a parallel state or in an anti-parallel state depending on a direction of a current flowing between the first fixed layer and the first recording layer; a first transistor having a first gate and a first current path, the first current path having one end connected to the first fixed layer; a second transistor having a second gate and a second current path, the second current path having one end connected to the first recording layer; a first bit line to which other end of the first current path is connected; and a second bit line to which other end of the second current path is connected, wherein when the first magnetoresistive effect element is selected for a write target, the current passes through the first and second current paths; and wherein the first and second gates are connected to a common word line.
