ABSTRACT:
A nonvolatile hybrid memory cell is provided which includes magnetic and semiconductor components. The cell uses a thin film stack of ferromagnetic layers situated over a silicon substrate to store data in the form of variable impedance to a spin polarized current. The cell data is isolated by semiconductor isolation elements.
