Abstract
A magnetic memory array having a source-plane electrically connected with an array of channel selectors in two-dimensions. The array of channel selectors can be arranged in rows and columns with both the rows and columns being electrically connected with a source-plane. A magnetic memory element such as a magnetic tunnel junction element can be electrically connected with each of the channel selectors. The source-plane can include a doped region formed in a surface of a semiconductor substrate and may also include an electrically conductive layer formed on the doped region. The use of such a planar, two-dimensional source-plane allows for greatly increased data density by eliminating the need to form separate source-line source lines for individual rows of channel selectors.
