Abstract

The invention discloses a magnetic random access memory with a vertical structure transistor, which has faster access time than SRAM, high density similar to DRAM and non-volatile characteristics similar to flash memory. The magnetic random access memory comprises a vertical structure transistor, a first word line including the transistor, a contact line connected to the transistor, a magnetic tunnel junction unit deposited on the contact line, and a magnetic tunnel junction unit formed on the magnetic tunnel junction unit bit line, and a second word line formed on the bit line at the position of the magnetic tunnel junction cell. Through the disclosed structure, while using a simplified manufacturing process, the integration density of semiconductor devices can be increased, the short channel effect can be improved, and the control rate of resistance can be improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a kind of magnetic random access memory (hereinafter referred to as MRAM) with vertical structure transistor, relate in particular to a kind of MRAM, it has faster access time than SRAM (static random access memory), and DRAM (dynamic random access memory) access memory) similar high density and flash memory similar non-volatility. Background technique [0002] As one of next-generation memories, some semiconductor memory manufacturers have proposed MRAMs using ferromagnetic materials. MRAM is a type of memory that reads and writes information by forming multiple layers of ferromagnetic thin films and detecting changes in current depending on the magnetization direction of each thin film. The MRAM device has high speed and low power consumption, and it allows a high degree of integration due to the special properties of the magnetic thin film. Similar to flash memory, it also performs non-vol...
