An integrated chip has a memory cell that includes a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) device and an access selector apparatus. The MTJ device includes a free layer and a pinned layer. The access selector apparatus includes a first metal structure and a second metal structure separated by one or more non-metallic layers. The first metal structure includes a polarized magnetic layer. The polarized magnetic layer produces a magnetic field that extends through the free layer, tilting its magnetic field and thereby substantially reducing a switching time for the MTJ device. The access selector apparatus may be a bipolar selector. The polarized magnetic layer may be incorporated into an electrode of the bipolar selector. Both the access selector apparatus and the MTJ device may be formed by a stack of material layers. The resulting memory cell may be compact and have good write speed.
