Abstract

A dummy cell has a plurality of dummy magneto-resistance elements which have the same characteristic as a magneto-resistance element, which characteristic changes corresponding to a voltage applied to the opposite ends. In addition, a voltage applied to opposite ends of each dummy magneto-resistance element is made smaller than a voltage applied to opposite ends of a magneto-resistance element of a memory cell. With this, the dummy cell is designed so as to have an intermediate electric resistance between first and second electric resistances.
