Abstract:
An object of the present invention corrects fluctuation of a writing current between cells in a magnetic random access memory using spin torque magnetization reversal. The present invention includes a magneto-resistive effect element that is disposed between a bit line and a word line, a first variable resistance element that is connected to one end of the bit line, a second variable resistance element that is connected to the other end of the bit line, a first voltage applying unit that applies voltage to the first variable resistance element, and a second voltage applying unit that applies voltage to the second variable resistance element, when a writing operation is performed, an offset magnetic field is applied to a free layer of the magneto-resistive effect element by flowing a variable current between the first voltage applying unit and the second voltage applying unit based on a predetermined resistance value.
