A semiconductor device comprises a magneto-resistive device capable of performing multiple functions with low power. The semiconductor device comprises a cell transistor in which a first impurity region and a second impurity region are respectively arranged on both sides of a channel region in a channel direction, a source line connected to the first impurity region of the cell transistor, and the magneto-resistive device connected to the second impurity region of the cell transistor. The first impurity region and the second impurity region are asymmetrical about a center of the cell transistor in the channel direction with respect to at least one of a shape and an impurity concentration distribution.

A memory cell includes a metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) capacitor including a gate coupled to a storage node and an electrode coupled to a synchronization control line. The MOS capacitor adds a coupling voltage to the gate based on a change in voltage on the synchronization control line. The coupling voltage may maintain the storage node within a predetermined range.
