  • Abstract
    Magnetoresistive random access memory (MRAM), is based on magnetic memory elements integrated with CMOS. Key attributes of MRAM technology are nonvolatility and unlimited read and write endurance. Recent advances in magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) materials give MRAM the potential for high speed, low operating voltage, and high density.
