Abstract
A ferromagnetic tunnel junction random access memory includes a ferromagnetic tunnel junction structure including a first ferromagnetic layer, a second ferromagnetic layer disposed adjacent to the first ferromagnetic layer and having a fixed magnetization, and a tunnel insulator layer interposed between the first and second ferromagnetic layers; a conductor plug penetrating the first ferromagnetic layer, the tunnel insulator layer and the second ferromagnetic layer along a center axis; a first selection line coupled to a first end of the conductor plug; and a second selection line coupled to a second end of the conductor plug opposite to the first end. The first ferromagnetic layer has a generally ring shape surrounding the conductor plug and is insulated from the conductor plug. One of the first and second ferromagnetic layers has an antiferromagnetic layer pattern on a portion thereof.
