MEMORY CELL AND METHOD OF FORMING A MAGNETIC TUNNEL JUNCTION (MTJ) OF A MEMORY CELL

摘要

A memory including a memory cell and method for producing the memory cell are disclosed. The memory includes a substrate in a first plane. A first metal connection extending in a second plane is provided. The second plane is substantially perpendicular to the first plane. A magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) is provided having a first layer coupled to the metal connection such that the first layer of the MTJ is oriented along the second plane.
