Abstract
A magnetoresistive elementhaving a memory cellaccording to the present invention contains a first lower terminal nand a second lower terminal nrespectively connected to both ends of a conductive layerwhose longitudinal direction is different from the column direction (X direction). Further, the gates of the first transistors Mrespectively included in two memory cells among the plurality of memory cellsand adjacent to each other in a row direction (Y direction) are commonly connected to a first word line. As a result, without increase of the cell area, it becomes possible to reserve a margin in the dimension of the cell structure or in the process for MRMA.
