A magnetic storage cell including of two magneto-resistive elements to remove
in-phase
noise in a read output, and reduces a loss of a current magnetic field, when information
is written thereinto, to efficiently produce magnetization reversal. In addition,
the area occupied by the magnetic storage cell is reduced to increase the storage
capacity, and the structure of the magnetic storage cell is simplified to facilitate
the manufacturing. The magnetic storage cell including two TMR elements, and an
annular magnetic layer provided commonly for the two TMR elements. The TMR elements
are disposed in a direction along a laminating surface with respect to each other.
A write bit line and a write word line are provided commonly for the two TMR elements.
The annular magnetic layer is disposed with its axial direction defined in a direction
along the laminating surface, and is passed through by the lines.
