Magnetic memory cell

Abstract

The invention relates to a magnetic memory cell (30), comprising: a stack (31) including a magnetic layer section (34) between a conductive layer section (32) and a section (36) of a layer that is different from the conductive layer, the magnetic layer having a magnetisation (35) perpendicular to the plane of the layers; a metallisation section (42) on which the stack is placed; and first, second, third and fourth metallisation arms (44D to 44G), each arm having a median axis (45D to 45G), wherein, for each arm, a current flowing towards the stack in the direction of the median axis sees that portion of the stack which is closest the arm mostly on its left for the first and second arms (44E, 44G), and mostly on its right for the third and fourth arms (44D, 44F).
