Abstract
An MRAM configuration has selection transistors and MTJ layer sequences lying in parallel with each other in a memory cell matrix. A considerable space saving can thus be achieved and therefore the MRAM configuration is less expensive to manufacture and has a greater packing density. In addition, the MRAM configuration allows a rapid read access with a minimal area requirement.
