1T1MTJ Memory Cell
A. Cell Architecture
The cell architecture is based on a minimum-sized
active transistor as the isolation device in conjunction with a
magnetic tunnel junction element. In the 1T1MTJ MRAM,
the MTJ element has one electrode connected to the drain of a
pass transistor for isolation and the other electrode connected
to the bit line. Neighboring cells share the pass transistor
source and isolation region to minimize cell area. The MTJ
element is integrated into a five-layer metal, 0.6

B. Programming bits
The MRAM bit cell is programmed by a magnetic
field, which is generated by current flowing through two
conductors while the transistor is in the cutoff state (shown in
Fig. 3). The direction of polarization of free layer is
controlled via the direction of current flow through the
bitlines. Each conductor supplies half the field required to
switch the bit. These conductors are inlaid copper
interconnects with flux concentrating cladding to focus the
generated magnetic field. The flux-concentrating layer is
composed of a thin layer of soft ferromagnetic material that is
integrated into the inlaid copper interconnect process. The
flux concentrators reduce the required current by
approximately a factor of 2 as compared to lines without
cladding (see Fig. 4). The requirements for the flux
concentrating cladding are that the remanence and coercivity
are minimized and the magnetic response is linear. Fig. 5
shows measured field response from cladded and uncladded
lines, demonstrating a factor of 2 improvement in field
generated for a given current, but also showing a slight
remanence characteristic. An additional benefit of the flux
concentrators is that they focus the generated magnetic field
over the target cell, reducing cross talk during programming.
The conductors are arranged in a cross-point half-
select architecture where the intersection of two current-
carrying lines generates a field sufficient to switch the bit at
the intersection, but leave other bits on either line
undisturbed. One line provides the field that affects the
“easy” magnetic axis of the bit, while another line provides
the field that affects the “hard” magnetic axis of the bit.
