ABSTRACT:
A multi-state, multi-layer magnetic memory cell including a first conductor, a first magnetic layer contacting the first conductor, an insulating layer on the first magnetic layer, a second magnetic layer on the insulating layer, a second conductor contacting the second magnetic layer, and a word line adjacent, or in contact with, the cell so as to provide a magnetic field to partially switch magnetic vectors along the length of the first magnetic layer. Information is stored by passing one current through the word line and a second current through the first and second conductors sufficient to switch vectors in the first and second magnetic layers. Sensing is accomplished by passing a read current through a word line sufficient to switch one layer (and not the other) and a sense current through the cell, by way of the first and second conductors, and measuring a resistance across the cell.
