Abstract
A memory device includes an one-time-programmable (OTP) memory unit. The OTP memory unit includes a first gate, a first conductive segment and a second conductive segment of a first structure, and a first magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) component. The first gate is formed across an active region, and corresponds to gate terminals of a first transistor and a second transistor. The first conductive segment and the second conductive segment of the first structure are formed above the active region, and correspond to a first source/drain terminal of the first transistor and a first source/drain terminal of the second transistor, respectively. The first MTJ component is formed in a first conductive layer above the active region, and is coupled to the first conductive segment and the second conductive segment for receiving a programming signal from a data line. A method for fabricating a memory device is also disclosed herein.
