A magnetic random access memory (MRAM) has a perpendicular magnetization direction. The MRAM includes a first magnetic layer, a second magnetic layer, a first polarization enhancement layer, a second polarization enhancement layer, a barrier layer, a spacer, and a free assisting layer. A pinned layer formed by the first magnetic layer and the first polarization enhancement layer has a first magnetization direction and a first perpendicular magnetic anisotropy. A free layer formed by the second magnetic layer and the second polarization enhancement layer has a second magnetization direction and a second perpendicular magnetic anisotropy. The barrier layer is disposed between the first polarization enhancement layer and the second polarization enhancement layer. The spacer is disposed on the second magnetic layer. The free assisting layer is disposed on the spacer and has an in-plane magnetic anisotropy. The spacer and the barrier layer are on opposite sides of the free layer.
