An array of conductive lines for MRAM circuits wherein at least one set of mutually
parallel conductive traces is tilted with respect to being perpendicular with a
corresponding set of mutually parallel conductive traces wherein individual conductive
traces within the sets intersect adjacent individual MRAM cells and wherein the
tilting of the at least one set of conductive traces acts to induce both a vertical
and horizontal component of a magnetic field such that the net vector addition
of magnetic fields induced by the sets of conductive traces is greater than the
untilted or perpendicular configuration so as to induce a greater net magnetic
field to effect more reliable switching of the underlying MRAM cells. The tilted
array also enables reducing the current supplied by the conductive traces while
maintaining a comparable net magnetic field to the untilted configuration.
